2nd Fallout 3 DLC pack at retail Aug. 25; GOTY edition listed for Oct. 13
Following May's Anchorage and The Pitt combo-pack, Bethesda has confirmed with Joystiq that the second Fallout 3 DLC retail pack featuring Broken Steel and Point Lookout will hit store shelves on August 25 for $20 on both Xbox 360 and PC. You'll need Mothership Zeta – the fifth and "final" piece of Fallout 3 DLC – to round out your DLC collection. It's currently available for $10. If you're late to the Fallout 3 bus, you may want to consider holding off until October when you can pick up the previously announced Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition which bundles the game with all five DLC packs. It's currently listed for $59.99 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 releases, and $49.99 for PC with an October 13th release date on both Amazon and GameStop. Unfortunately, Bethesda's not ready to talk about it until that last DLC pack is out the door so consider those prices and that date boring 'ol retailer placeholders.
Fallout 3's 'The Pitt' still pitching a fit, Bethesda promises fix
It seems that Bethesda is still trying to dig itself out of the pit it fell into with the bug-filled initial release of Fallout 3's "The Pitt" DLC. After pulling the episode from Xbox Live, then releasing a "fixed" version of the content, it appears that some players are still experiencing issues, including freezes. Now the publisher is promising yet another fix."Since The Pitt went back up on Xbox LIVE last Wednesday, we've received feedback that some folks were experiencing freezing issues while trying to access The Pitt," reads an official statement on Bethesda's blog. "We're working with Microsoft to get a version of The Pitt up that corrects the aforementioned freezing issue. Once the content is up and available, we'll let you know."Bethesda thanks Fallout fans in its post for their "support, patience and feedback" -- or, as the latter is otherwise known, hundreds of angry forum posts.
Fallout 3's Pitt pulled from Marketplace, back tomorrow [update]
Fallout 3 players have made the lives of uncreative and unnecessarily snarky writers into a living hell this morning, prompting internet blabbermouths to try their hardest not to describe the RPG's latest round of DLC as "the pits." Because it's called "The Pitt" and some people are quite unhappy about it, you see.Lodging complaints via emails to Joystiq and developer Bethesda's official forums, users who have downloaded the latest $10 add-on from Xbox Live are apparently experiencing numerous glitches in the game's environment, including freezes and texture errors. Another issue seems to be represented by ominous, floating exclamation marks invading the post-apocalyptic wasteland. Bethesda has told Joystiq that it is currently gathering information on the issue -- we'll update as soon as we know how widespread the problems are and what measures can be taken to avoid them. In the meantime, we suggest you adopt a stealthy approach and avoid being spotted by the malfunctioning landscape.Update: Bethesda is "continuing to look into the issues people are experiencing with The Pitt for Xbox 360." The company believes that the English version of the file on Xbox Live has become corrupted, and is working with Microsoft to remove and replace the file as soon as possible. Update 2: Bethesda expects the corrected file to be available for download tomorrow, March 25.Source -- Bethesda forumsSource -- Bethesda forumsSource -- Mattkellyshow.com [image]
