Xbox 360 player here.

Still say everyone should get it.

EDIT: And as someone else on these forums pointed out, if it was never going to come to any other system Microsoft would advertise the hell out of that with Christmas just around the corner. Since their not, it's quite obvious it's just a timed exclusive. I just hope everyone else doesn't have to wait for months on end like ps3 players had to do with Fallout 3. Hopefully the next ones will come to everyone, but I somehow doubt it. I'd be willing to bet it will be a lot like Fallout 3 was. The next will be xbox exclusive again, then they'll announce a 3rd one while simultaneously announcing that all 3 will be released to the other systems, and if the previous two sold well enough they may announce that their will be another 2 DLC as well making it 5 all together.

It's very likely that Microshaft paid an obscene amount of money for the rights to this DLC, and with that came the condition of silence until the exclusivity period is over. To my knowledge Bethesda has never screwed 2/3 of their base out of any DLC. That would also be screwing themselves out of even more profit...Hmmm, I'm seeing a pattern there; profit, I do believe it's all about the almighty dollar.

Thier not losing money they get piles of money for timed esclusivity of the dlc then even more when ps3 and pc owners purchase it, sure a few won't because of how they were treated but theres no way to tell why a person didn't buy the dlc. Bethesda just rakes in the dough with this set up while fans get angered and Microsoft spends boat loads of cash so they can call first. Just hope the deal only lasts a month or 2 not the 6 it didn't last time around.

I'm positive it will eventually come to PC and PS3.

Calm down, It'll be released for the PC and PS3. And besides, on the PC we have mods. All the DLC's are in essence are "official" made mods with "official" voice acting which they then charge $9 or whatever for.

If you don't own Fallout New Vegas for PS3 then why is this thread any concern of yours?..

Now now children. It is a bit daft how they have done it again though, I'm on 360 and I have yet to DL it, not getting another penny out of me. :tongue:

Silly to have a poll over this. Yes, people want it, and yes, it's very likely that it'll come, after the Xbox users are done beta testing. :P

I was in the same boat as you with Fallout 3. I just waited patiently, and the DLC was eventually released. On the upside, the eventual Game of the Year Edition on PS3 will include all the DLC on disc, instead of having to be installed like the 360 version.

360 and PC are pretty much the same; in a couple days, someone will most likely port the 360 version to the internet and convert it.
And as for Microsoft paying extra for the content: Sony hasn't payed for it. Don't blame Microsoft for wanting to give their customers a good experience, blame Sony who apparently doesn't want to give their customers a good experience. Bethesda hasn't screwed anyone. Microsoft payed extra for something that'll get to the PC soon, and Sony screwed themselves. Plus PC owners can friggin create their own mods, or download any of, what is it now, 1000's of mods? Beth won't make money off of releasing for PC, and keeping Microsoft exclusive very well could generate more money than PS3 owners would be willing to pay, since most of you are downright stating that you refuse to buy it since you view it as being screwed. Keep it up, perhaps we can make Bethesda as an entire company a Microsoft exclusive.

I love the senseless bashing goin on but its not going to do anyone any good. PC and ps3 will get it after the exclusive deal runs out. And I highly doubt bethesda would drop the ps3 even if both game and dlc sales were lowered Bethesda is still making a bunch of money so why would they willingly reduce their profit, it makes no sense. And my final little thing how come any discussion on the dlc turn into a console war?

What you just typed was completely incompetent.

Microsoft does not care about you, nor do they want you to have a "good experience." Forgetting the fact that XBL costs $60/a year, you're acting as if Microsoft is selling the DLC for free, when they're not. When Sony provides exclusive DLC content it's included on the disc at no extra charge. Microsoft would rather have a timed "exclusive," than an actual one. And I can't believe anyone would support console exclusive DLC for a multiplatform game.

I'd hate to venture to guess who has deeper pockets; Sony or Microshaft. I don't believe it was a matter of Sony not wanting to give their customers a good experience, but more a matter of just how deep Bill Gate's pockets reach (or whoever is in charge of Microshaft these days)

I never said that Bethesda screwed anyone. You really should reread my post I clearly said, "To my knowledge Bethesda has never screwed 2/3 of their base out of any DLC" If they did, that would not help them to make a larger profit.

Beth won't make money off of releasing for PC.- Are you kidding me? Mods for the pc version are what keep us coming back for more, and bringing new customers who've nebver played the game, or those folks who already own for PS3 or XBox, but now want to buy it for mods. There is more profit for you, courtesy of the PC version.

While some may be saying that they refuse to give bethesda any more money because they got (Micro)shafted out of the DLC, or due to bugs or what have you, but I am not one of them. Granted the idea of exclusivity does leave a bad taste in my mouth, it is however how the world of business works. If you don't profit in the world of business, then you won't continue to be in business for long.

Do I want it? I already have it.

I voted YES because I think it should eventually be available to all platforms.

But then again I think it WILL eventually be available and everybody just needs to calm down.

For all of those who will continue to holler about the (probably temporary) exclusivity of this DLC, maybe you'll feel better if you go find some of the hate posts about the DLC. Reading things like "this dlc is ass in a bag" should make you feel better about not having it.

Sony doesn't care about you, either. These companies want our money, they just have different methods of going about it. Sure, some PS3 games (mostly from EA) have included free exclusive DLC, but the reason they've made that deal is because they want people to buy the PS3 version of the game. They want those first week purchases of the game. See if they can put directly on the cover that the game includes "exclusive free DLC," that's going to entice consumers more than the prospect of "exclusive" premium DLC at some point down the road. It's more aggressive than Microsoft's timed exclusive DLC. But until recently, Sony has been trailing far behind Microsoft in terms of hardware and software sales. August 2009 was one of the first instances where a multiplatform game (Batman: Arkham Asylum) actually sold better on the PS3.

I do find it a bit amusing that you can make a statement like "I can't believe anyone would support console exclusive DLC for a multiplatform game" immediately after praising Sony's take on exclusive DLC. You aren't pissed off about exclusive DLC, you're pissed off it isn't on your platform.

It's a false sense of self-entitlement. Rather pervasive this day and age. I don't know WHERE the hell it came from, but... well, there it is.

Tis true, Microsoft doesn't care about me, cept for my money. You could say the same about Sony. Xbox Live is free for this game, so why would I pay $60 a year for it. If I want to play a multiplayer game, I have to pay, but I don't. And you're forgetting about the reason why Microsoft charges for these things. Did you or did you not just say that Microsoft payed a helluva lot of money to get the exclusive DLC? If Sony decided to buy exclusive content, they'd charge you the same, if not more. Yes Microsoft charges us. Yes it is worth the price. If you can't spend $5 a month for unlimited gameplay, access to Netflix, access to Zune, and all the other random crap, then you are a cheap bastard. If there was exclusive content for a PS3, would you even be here? Would you be upset?

It IS a bit odd that PC did not get it like we did with FO3. But I think that is a STEAM deal that MS is providing us PC owners the pain over. Had FONV been delieverd on WIndowsLive I have no doubt I would be playing it now. YES it will come out for PC and PS3 eventually. If not I do own a 360 and will just have to pickup a copy for it.

Just making the switch to PS3 I can relate back to fallout 3 and how they didnt get the dlc though I didnt voice my opinion on this web sight I thought it was bad. I ll also say that ps free network has all the stuff u listed above and 1 other that xbox does not have. Im on ps3 right now on this sight with nothing running to my PC. Lets see u do that with xbox. My PC by the way is all slow and freezes and needs a pro to come do what pros do to make it run right for afew months its easier to do stuff like this on PS3.

People keep saying for all platforms, but the end of the trailer was an Xbox 360 logo thing.. And didn't mention anything about PC or PS3.. Which irritates me highly.. Why leave behind the other gamers? With out PC gamers you would be nothing.

Just a bunch of ones and zeros on a dusty harddrive.
