I just went on New Vegas and after downloading the patch started playing. I'm level 35 after downloading Honest Hearts, but then realised that I was getting XP again? I don't know what's happened and whether they patched it to raise the level cap, but I'm just wondering what happened. I play on PS3 and although the level cap being raised isn't particularly bad for me, I know for others that this may be a problem. Is this just for me (I doubt it) or is it happening for others too? Is it permanent?

Yep, it seems a lot of people on PS3 are experiencing this problem. I have Dead Money and HH, I was at level 40 pre-patch, now after playing for a while I am level 41. I won't be touching New Vegas until this is fixed or Old World Blues comes out. None of the devs have said anything about it so far (I think... might have missed something). The only thing left to do is wait.
