Time to dust off the old Xbox, was wondering when they'd release another game for it.

Why is the game still using the old non-slim PS3 logo? I thought new boxes had it different.

So... which ones are the ones worth getting?
I heard that actually only two of the DLC packs are worth the money they are asking for it. Which ones are those? Is it the one that removes the "Game Over" ending and the one that raises the level cap?

Cool. I'll be sure to get Broken Steel then. I might also buy the rest after the wallet-draining Rocktober. Thanks guys!

Point Lookout and Broken Steel are definitely worth getting. Operation Anchorage is okay, but the rewards (especially the Chinese Stealth Armor) are fantastic. I haven't played the others...yet.

@RKN,
Really you were expecting that? Why? There WAS an ending to the game, everyone complained, so they released DLC that was designed specifically to eliminate the hard-stop. Broken-steel is the epilogue to the ending of the game, and then leaves the world open for more. If you want a solid ending, why not just avoid Broken Steel?

Can't wait to trade in my Fallout 3 copy for the Game of the Year Edition! Why buy the packs separate, when you can get them all on a nice disc? That's my reasoning anyway, I'm patient enough to wait. Made sure to contact Bethesda, and they said save files and the like will definitely transfer over.
This game is by far my biggest "surprise" hit of the year. I thought I would hate it.

I already paid 69.99 for the Nice disc back when it first came out , so why waste another 69.99 for another nice disc that makes the first useless when I can buy all of em for $20 less. Thats assuming they are 9.99 each in Canada also
An extra $20 for the GOTY(based on having the game already) aint worth it no matter how you look at it.

@Tim Parsons
It is if you want a physical copy of the DLC that you can later resell. If you download the DLC from the PSN you won't be able to sell it, let a friend borrow it etc. If your really patient you could wait even longer and get the GOTY edition when it eventually goes on sale i.e. Amazon Gold Box deal.
It does make sense if you are a stickler for physical media because you own a fully transferable copy of the game and all of the DLC.

Well, I got the first one (Collector's Edition) for $30 during the whole CC going out of business... so I got a really good deal there. Plus when I do a trade in, I'm hoping for at least $25 in credit... so the final price for me is going to be around $35, I hope. Not sure the prices on the DLC, but there's four packs, right? If they're $10 each, then it'd be $40 for the DLC?
Either way, I like the physical aspect on top of it all, so I'm willing to pay some extra, especially since I got such a good initial deal.

How does that make any sense?
All of the DLC = $50
Game of the year edition with all DLC included = $60
So assuming you can sell your old copy of Fallout 3 for more than 10 bucks (which trust me, you can) you'll come out way ahead of just buying the DLC separately. That's not to mention that the new disk you get now comes with a much higher resale value since you can now sell it the DLC as well.

How do these expansions work? Do you start at level one with a whole new character or? The level cap is increased to 30 isn't it? So are these expansions big enough to get a character from level one to 30 or?
Sorry for all the question just wondering

It adds in the extra stuff. Loading up your Save file puts you right where you were same levels, so if you finished the game at lvl 20 you can get right to work on getting up to lvl 30.

I can't wait for the GOTY edition. I rented Fallout 3 last year and loved it, and I'm excited to buy the GOTY and finally play all the DLC. I only hope that Fallout 3 GOTY recognizes my Fallout 3 save as being the same game so I can continue where I left off.

Sweet, so anyone who supported Bethesda by buying the game and DLC as soon as its released gets the shaft. Video game publishers should stop trending in that direction as it alienates those who realize we're getting f'ed in the a.

How you figure that?? So those wanting the DLC right away will pay more in total Yes but we also dont have to WAIT for a GOTY edition , So how's that being shafted?
Plus 360's who got the DLCs get a free Sickass Amazing Looking Theme, man I hope they make a theme half as good for PS3

Anyone who buys anything day one gets the shaft by your definition then. Whether it's sale prices, used prices, or GOTY versions, it always pays to wait.
But, on the other hand, you've already played the game (I assume). That initial investment means you have access to the game while those that don't pay, don't get to play.
All this version does is have the potential to atract new consumers to an old product on the market. What's so bad about that?
If you want it now, you gotta pay; if you want it cheaper, you gotta wait.

I have to disagree with you, these "game of the year edition" are great way for a publishers and developers start a new promotion campaign for a game one year or two after it's 1st released. For gamers who do not like buying DLC (like my self) this a great deal for us.

I've put the brakes on. I have finally had my fill of Fallout 3, clocking in at 80+ hrs. It got a bit boring once your leveled up to the higher 20s and I can't imagine starting a new game again just for the challenge of it. My rankings for the DLC:
1. Point Lookout
2. The Pitt
3. Broken Steel
4. Operation Anchorage (sucked)

Omg this the is news I been wait for. I already have Fall Out 3 pc but ahu... I lets just say it runs the game just fine but it does not look good at all just running on my laptop graphics card. "including the game and all the DLC. It will indeed cost $59.99," Seems like a great deal for any one wanting to play the game for the 1st time or who have the pc game & didn't get any dlc or the game did not run well. Cant wait to see megaton go boom in full 1080p. LOL yes I am fed up.

but your right without new things to do it would get Very Boring. It doesnt have as much exploring to do outside of Quest/side-Quest as Oblivion did
