For those of us who don't have xbox live for whatever reason will or when do you think dawnguard will be released on disc as a Game of the year edition or what not?

I'd imagine there will be a GoTY edition down the road with all of the major expansions on it.

Thats pretty much the norm with games these days.

But of course, that would still be priced as buying a brand new copy of the game, let alone the long wait.

Though, 3 dlc's at 20 bucks at piece that price evens itself out.

There will probably be a some kind of Game + DLC retail bundle in the future, yeah, seeing that Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas all had them.

I'm not gonna bother getting the GOTY when it comes, i'll buy the DLC's as they're released.

I also have three versions to buy DLC's for so no one can say that Beth does not get any money from me.

You don't need a Gold membership for dlc's though, or at least in the past you didn't. A silver membership is free, then just by a points card from Walmart or whatever store you prefer.

I like a hard disc, just incase the xbox dies. may end up getting both the disc and the dlc.

Your DLC are saved on your account... as long as you don't lose your account (which never happens since it's bound to your mail adress) you can always reclaim your DLC, even if you have a new xbox.. (I do understand alot that you'd rather have a disc, I do too), But it is actually easier for a DLC on disc to get lost (through losing the disc, or scratching etc) than losing the DLC on your xbox-account

If you dont have the internet, maybe take your xbox to a friend or relatives house who does. Then download the DLC there, take your xbox home, and your ready to go.

DLC can be redownloaded if your hard drive fails.

Me, I'll probably ending up buying all the DLC on XBL, and then getting the Game of Year edition too. Oops.

They better release a disk --- I'm in the same boat as you are, OP, though with a PS3. I have no internet access on any of my consoles whatsoever, and while I got the Oblivion GotY, that was a fluke and right after it was released. The FO3 GotY was excellent, too.
Shivering got its own disk, did it not? And Knights? Come on, it can't possibly be too difficult -- just package it on a DVD/BD, ship it out and price it at $25. I'd buy it. Many others would buy it. Hell, if DLC #2 is coming within four months of Dawnguard, release them both together! Hell, you could even price it at $35 or $40 and it would still sell excellently; where I live, games retail for an everage of $110 and that includes the ones that only last for four hours. Bethesda has always been good with value-for-money.

And digital-only supporters, don't say "oh, you can just download it to a USB drive and install it that way" because, NO, I CANNOT. It costs me $50 for every 3 gigs of data. For example, if I wanted to play LotRO, I'd have to spend more than $180 just to download it. (This also means I'm still playing on launch version of Skyrim, with all that glorious PS3 lag)
There are many people in the same situation as I am, and Bethesda would do best to acknowledge that. Their 'DLCs' are expansion packs, and need disks just like any proper expansion. You can't respect an add-on if the dev doesn't take itself seriously and release it on-disk.

Also, with a DLC, they should include all the patches and smaller dlc-type updates, bundling them up. It can't be that hard -- Undead Nightmare for Red Dead Redemption got a disk, though it was packaged with a version of the game as well. I have a lot of respect for Rockstar for doing that, and if Bethesda fails to support the section of their fanbase who can't afford to download every little bit of digital content, they will lose much of the respect I have for them.
Not only the reasons listed above, but a disk is safer, and more secure -- not to mention how many people prefer a hard copy (I'm one of them) over a digital copy which you do not actually own. A disk has a case. It can be stored away. If you're not stupid, it's hard to damage them. Not to mention attractive packaging.

It will get released on disc too. $$$ to be made.

I hope they release each one on disk when the come out.

they said they won't release a disc version, in a twet from Pete i think..

Did they already announce how many DLC will be released for Skyrim in total?
