Please excuse me while I rant for a moment. I'm sure a lot of you have either bought, played or rented Fallout 3 for the PS3. Being the way I am, I just bought it without so much as a test drive so to speak. When I first heard about the DLC that was supposed to be coming out, I was pretty excited. For one, I really liked the game. Decent graphics, lots of side quests and plenty of hours of game play. With that being said, there were a couple of drawbacks to buying this game. I have just recently been made aware that Bethesda Softworks, publisher of Fallout 3, has decided to give the DLC to only XBox 360 and PC gamers. Why does this get my blood boiling do you ask? First off lets look at the DLC. There are a total of three thus far. The first, Operation: Anchorage, is an additional 4-5 hours of gameplay time. Set in Anchorage, Alaska, and it will let players experience the liberation of Alaska from Chinese forces. The second DLC is The Pitt. This one you are in, you guessed it, Pittsburgh. The last one called Broken Steel, has 2 important patches. The first being that the level cap is raised from level 20 to level 30. Pretty cool. The other being that the ending is removed. Why is that important? Whis this DLC it means that even after you have completed the main quest, you can still roam around and complete some of the other side quests that you have not finished yet. Or, like me I just want to try and get the rest of the trophies. But unfortunately, because of Bethesda being in bed with Microsoft, the PS3 owners will not be able to experience this. So like many other upset PS3 owners, this is probably the last Bethesda Softworks game that I purchase. If any of you would like to express to Bethesda your disgust as I have, here is a link to their site.

Maybe if enough of us complain and threaten to stop buying their games, it might convince them to change their minds and give us the DLC.
