Fallout 3 DLC Coming to PlayStation 3

[Jumplion]

Cool, was it just me or did Bethesda once say the DLC couldn't be on the PS3 for some reason?

Their explanation was, more or less, that "Sony was going to charge us to host it on the PSN"

Course that may have been unofficial. Todd Howard had this to say to IGN regarding the announcement that PS3 users could shut their whiny self-serving pieholes rejoice in getting DLC:

Todd Howard: It's mostly the workload on us. Based on our Oblivion experience, it was clear that Xbox users were much more comfortable buying content, by a wide margin. It's a lot of work to get them ready for a particular platform and now that they've been so popular, we want to get them on the PS3. And there's obviously been a lot of frustration on the part of PS3 owners, who don't feel they are getting the total Fallout 3 experience, and we don't want that to happen. We want everyone to have everything, but we still need to set priorities so we can use our development time wisely.

Um, that was never their excuse "Sony was going to charge us to host it on the PSN". I don't even know where you got that excuse aside from trying to fit together an entirely different topic in this.

Basically, Bethesda said repeatedly "DLC won't be coming to PS3" simple as that.

My initial response was "Why should I care?"

Then I remembered the 360 / PC version had Achievements. That means...

TROPHIES!

Its about time but I have the 360 version.

Oh ho! A fellow trophy whore! I bet I have more trophies then you, I'm level 7 with 60% in and about 400 trophies. Beat that!

You know what? You're right. I misread something, which then turned into this rationalization. I made a mistake. Mistakes do happen after all. Thank you for bringing that to my attention so that I could go back and see that yes, I was wrong.

However I would like to point out that, were we to move beyond basically. Todd Howard did hint at least once that the exclusivity with Microsoft was only timed.

We got in touch with ?Fallout 3″ executive producer Todd Howard for an answer. So, is post-ending adventuring something Bethesda is considering for PS3 players?

?Not at this time, no,? said Howard.

Now granted, "not at this time" means many things, but here I think he just meant that it was only a matter of time before they'd be able to put DLC out for the PS3. And as far as I can tell, they never officially stated the nature of their deal anyway, and it was more a series of wild mass guessing that led people to infer that they and Microsoft had made a deal.

I mean yes, Sony's habit of charging publishers a hosting surcharge could've played a part in that decision, but no they never said that, once again reiterating I made a mistake in my mind there.

I have a Platinum, and I should have a second Platinum by the end of the week.

..............well shit. I have yet to gain a platinum trophy. I have been bested.

It makes perfect sense really. After all, selling the DLC on all formats willbe better buisness for Bethesda.

As I just posted on another thread announcing this, before I noticed it was here, too:

Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh moy dog ho yo mom!!!

Mothership Zeta?!?! w0000000000!!!1

(I'm excited - can you tell?)

Man, oh man. I thought I was done Fallout 3. My last playthrough was the definitive playthrough. I did everything. Every Bobblehead, every location discovered, every quest, every downloadable content. I even ran around in my underwear wearing Lincoln's hat declaring myself President and throwing grenades at everyone. What more could there have been to do?

But there's gonna be MORE? Hoo WAH!

ROFL
