For those of you that are still having major issues, which there are many, make sure you register your product at www.gamesas.com within 30 days of purchase or you will lose your warranty protection. Registering the game gives you the full 90 day warranty protection. The game is obviously broken, even the bigger game review websites agree how badly its broken http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/falloutnewvegas/review.html. I think for any of you that are experiencing the DLC error or black screens certainly want to register the game to protect yourself for the full 90 days in case you decide to return the game for a newer, possibly updated copy. The warranty states that "under normal use the Game will perform substantially as described in the accompanying manual". As of today, I don't think anyone having these issues would have any problem arguing that the game does not perform substantially as described in the manual. The warranty only applies to the repair or replacement of the game so don't get your hopes up that you can get your money back based on the game warranty, that would be up to the retailer's policy.

It runs smooth for me. Good advice though.

I'm not going to enter a warranty argument with Bethesda. I'm just not going to buy anymore of their [censored].
