You can buy the add-ons retail for the 360, you can buy the add-ons retail for the PC, but they're not possible for the PS3, that sounds strange to me. M$ money was probably involved

I'm sure they are only saying that its not possible due to people just buying the expansions to just install them and then returning them.

Because without a major install, you cannot play the full game with only the expansions, you need the actual main disc to play.

So why are they doing it for PC and 360?

Nvm, I just re-read the article.

It sounds like they are just spoon feeding it to the PS3 owners to save costs on their end as they do not care about us.

No. It's gonna be available on a disc for XBOX.

Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #1 includes The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage on a disc and will be available for Xbox 360 and PC on May 26. The Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #2 includes Broken Steel and Point Lookout on a disc and will be available for Xbox 360 and PC in August.

Not originally. I was posting as you edited.

Looks like a timing issue to me.

Based on the article, the Expansion disk #1 couldn't hit retail for PS3 until mid-August. The second disk wouldn't be available until mid-September at the earliest.

By that time, most people will either already have the DLC through PSN or go buy the GotY edition.

I know there are some people who would love the expansion disks, but I'm guessing that Bethesda figures the expansions wouldn't be worth the cost. At 9.99 x 4, the two expansion discs are almost the same price as the GotY edition - all within a 2 month period.

Do one of these add on packs include the patch that allows you to continue to play your game even after you beat the main quest, like in Oblivion? This is the one thing that really gripes me about the PS3 version of Fallout 3.

I think one of the DLCs made this change. I can't remember for sure though. I know that at least the level cap was increased.
