Oblivion expansions, Fallout 3 DLC half off on XBL this week

Ben Gilbert — Tue, 24 May 2011 12:55:00 EST

It's been nearly five years, but that notorious Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion "Horse Armor" DLC is finally on sale. Along with the "Shivering Isles" and "Knights of the Nine" expansion packs, the equine armor is discounted by 50 percent as this week's Xbox Live deal.

Keeping with the Bethesda theme, three of Fallout 3's DLC packs -- "Mothership Zeta," "Operation Anchorage," and "Broken Steel" -- are similarly discounted, as well as a handful of Avatar items. There has never been a better week to dress up an Avatar as a Vault 101 wastelander and buy virtual armor for a virtual horse. Head past the break for the full list of discounts.

All Fallout 3 DLC half off this week on Xbox Live Marketplace

Ben Gilbert — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 13:00:00 EST

As the Bethesda blog conveniently points out, the entirety of Fallout 3's downloadable addendums -- from forays into virtual Alaska to intergalactic excursions -- are half off their normal asking price this week. At 400 MS Points ($5) a pop, you'll only be $25 less prepared for Fallout: New Vegas. No worries, though -- we're pretty sure the employees at your local GameStop will happily accept Nuka Cola bottlecaps in place of US currency should you be a few pennies short come October 19.

Xbox Live Deal of the Week: Fallout 3 DLC

David Hinkle — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:13:00 EST

This week's Xbox Live deal ain't too shabby, if you haven't got yourself a copy of Fallout 3: GOTY Edition or already downloaded all of the game's DLC onto your hard drive. Each of the five episodes continuing the adventures of our strong, silent hero (or villain, if you prefer to play the meanie) are half-off this week, just as anticipated.

That means the whole lot (usually setting back would-be Wasteland travelers $50 total) can be yours for $25 up until March 29 -- or 400 ($5) each. War never changes, but the cost of doing battle just got a bit cheaper.

Today's Xbox Live deal: 50% off all Fallout 3 DLC

Xav de Matos — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:30:00 EST

Watch your head, folks, because prices are falling. Today's Xbox Live holiday deal of the day is targeted directly at DLC for Bethesda's critical and commercial darling, Fallout 3. If you're looking to add more intense VATS-related action to the RPG, each add-on pack is available for 400 ($5) a piece -- a 50% savings of your Microsoft-branded space bucks.

New to the Fallout 3 universe? There are five DLC add-on packs for the (already) lengthy RPG. Arguably the most important -- and one you should tackle first -- is Broken Steel, which increases the game's overall level cap to 30 and allows players to continue playing beyond the conclusion. Also, a Game of the Year edition is available in stores, which includes all of Fallout 3's downloadable content -- making it cheaper if you don't already own the game to begin with.

Add Fallout 3's Operation Anchorage DLC to your Xbox 360 download queue
Add Fallout 3's The Pitt DLC to your Xbox 360 download queue
Add Fallout 3's Broken Steel DLC to your Xbox 360 download queue
Add Fallout 3's Point Lookout DLC to your Xbox 360 download queue
Add Fallout 3's Mothership Zeta DLC to your Xbox 360 download queue

[Thanks, Brett]

Fallout 3's Mothership Zeta has landed

Richard Mitchell — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:00:00 EST

Attention Wastelanders, brand spankin' new DLC is available now for Fallout 3. The 'Mothership Zeta' DLC includes a new spaceship to explore, scads of new alien weaponry and plenty of space-faring action (in space). Check out the video above for a sneak peek. If it tickles your fancy, it can be had on Xbox or PC for 800 ($10). And remember, this is the final Fallout 3 DLC, so if you're looking for something new, this is your last chance. Probably.

Mothership Zeta is 'final' Fallout 3 DLC [update]

Alexander Sliwinski — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 21:45:00 EST

It appears that Fallout 3's Mothership Zeta is the last DLC adventure for the (anti-)hero from Vault 101. MTV Multiplayer took note of the wording on Bethesda's website for the game, which states that the latest piece of content is the post-nuclear saga's "final DLC."

We're currently following up with Bethesda to see if they have called it quits on the Wasteland, which means that the next time we'll be hearing from the world of Fallout will be during our trip to New Vegas next year. Come on, Bethesda. There's still some uranium to squeeze from the glowing stone.

Update: Bethesda says "never say 'never,' but this is the last DLC we have planned."

Fallout 3 trailer enters Mothership Zeta

Alexander Sliwinski — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:45:00 EST

Whether you pronounce it Mothership Zeta or Mothership Zed-eta, the fact remains that the aliens are coming to cause some trouble in Fallout 3's Capital Wasteland very soon. Beyond a trailer of what to expect when Mars (Jupiter, Uranus?) attacks, there is also a developer's diary on the little details of the DLC's creation.

Mothership Zeta will be ready to abduct our wanderer and our wallets on August 3 for 800 ($10) on PC and Xbox. The PlayStation 3 version will be available at a later date, and we'll let you know when the little grayish-green men inform us of that abduction date.

New Fallout 3 'Mothership Zeta' weapons and perk revealed

Alexander Sliwinski — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:32:00 EST

Fallout 3's Mothership Zeta is ready to teach the Capital Wasteland a lesson with a new perk and weapons. We'd previously received a communique about new weaponry, but Bethesda's Fallout 3 content guy, Jeff Gardiner, tells MTV that there's even more stuff to wrap an itchy trigger finger around.

Beyond the Alien Atomizer and Drone Cannon, there will be a new rifle, the Alien Disintegrator, and the Cryo Grenade, which will freeze the enemy in its tracks. There's also the new perk, Xenotech Expert, which increases the damage of alien weapons. Hopefully, Zeta will also have plans to teach the wanderer how to make more ammo for these weapons once he's back on terra firma and searching the wastes.

The next piece of Fallout 3 DLC leaves the Capital Wasteland and goes a few miles ~~north~~ up. Mothership Zeta will allow The Lone Wanderer to be abducted by aliens on August 3 for 800 ($10, 500 bottlecaps, 20 fingers or 5 Ultra Jet) for Xbox and PC.

Zeta will have players fighting their way to the bridge of a giant alien craft in hopes of escaping and stopping whatever the The Galactic Wanderers are there for. New weapons include the "Alien Atomizer" and the "Drone Cannon." Players will also be able to ally with "an unexpected array of characters," including some from "Earth's past." So help us if we can fight side by side with Abraham Lincoln! "I emancipate you from this mortal coil, alien scum!"
