Fallout 3 patched today, Operation Anchorage DLC coming Jan. 27

Bethesda just sent us word that the first Fallout 3 DLC, Operation Anchorage, will officially debut on Xbox Live on January 27th for the aforementioned price of 800

($10, 50 caps or 100 pieces of scrap metal), which will hopefully give us just enough time to plow through the new content for Mirror's Edge and Fable 2.

Additionally, the developer has also pushed out a patch today for all platforms, which, among other fixes, finally keeps those pesky, murdered NPCs dead. Sure beats them coming back from the grave all bitter and willing to give you directions to the nearest hotel. It's the same patch PS3 owners got in mid-December, so check out the full patch notes here.

I'll be a happy camper when they raise the level cap.

And I still don't think 30 is gonna cut it.

Is the DLC for PC?

Though I don't care for Operation Anchorage, I want the one that takes place after you beat the game.

I hope I'll be in the minority here, but the game actually seems to be running a little worse for me AFTER the update. The loading seems to take a little longer when changing locations and also heading into V.A.T.S. isn't as smooth as it was. It hesitates a little bit and some of the sound effects are late... or just flat out missing. In addition to that it hesitates when pulling up (and especially putting away) my Pip Boy. It doesn't do it every time, just often enough to be noticeable. Odd.

Hope it goes better for everyone else. But if it doesn't, and you have the Xbox 360 version like me, post here and let me know that I'm not crazy.

can any ps3 owners here that already downloaded that first patch a month go confirm if they can download a NEW patch today or not?

the website says that it's for all platforms, and ps3 owners will be prompted at startup, but is it just a RE-RELEASE of the patch we already received? or is it a new patch that just includes all that stuff too?

Good question mate... I've already begun experiencing one of these glitches, mine maybe not so troublesome after further investigation. My problem occurs when I return to speak to Three Dog about the dish, for whatever reason I can't get in but it seems I can bypass and go to Rivet City. Regardless, I don't need anymore surprises and right now I'm hoping that a patch does apply today, because if it's a re-release they should make that apparent, and not get our hopes up. Sadly, this is a temporary damper on Fallout 3 now, 26hrs of enjoyment and just now I finally have a bit of a let down >.
