Downloaded and started playing last night, PC FTW!
I think the PC one may suffer, too. Not confirmed, but few folk have had it crash on them. Hopefully it will all be sorted today! Stupid M$ screwing up the marketplace files.

Funny you mention piracy TBH. As the pwnage suggests in the Project Origin thread, you clearly know very little about it

See. No need to get all defensive on my ass. Pfft!

ahh reet, checked the thread.. did you not notice the question mark then ? i was a question not a statement.
so in many ways its your 'fail' (god i hate that pointless internet bulls**t) still easy mistake so i forgive you
PMSL it's all gravy, dude. People just get very defensive when it comes to Format Wars. Although my wording is often banteresque, I like to think I'm actually fairly well informed and impartial when it comes to games and the machines they run on.

ok, pc`s are better in many ways but as an analogy a games console is a fast road car and a pc is a track day special, faster more focused but the extra needed in cost and setups with evolving performance targets mean your rarely truley satisfied with the speed for long.
im hoping the next xbox controller has one analogue stick on the left, has all the same buttons and weight but on the right has a (variable resistant)track ball type affair like on those pc mouses
obviously smaller and dimpled, but it would pave the way for more acurate pointer placement whilst running / turing with the left analogue stick.
but i fear we might see a wii style control for the next ms machine due to them buying a indian company that have developed a 3d motion capture system, which given that mostly im only awake at night from nicoteen gum and coffee wouldnt be great as i just prefer to vedge on the sofa rather than move around like a pro athlete

Broken Steel DLC will be superb. Some great Q&A here :

Totally agree. PC gaming is expensive, and it makes you always want more. That's a good thing though. PC technology ends up in consoles so everyone is a winner at the end of the day. As a hardcore PC gaming enthusiast, I accept that it costs me serious money, but I enjoy it. I usually spend at least £2k a year on PC components. My current processor was ~£800 for example. The graphics card was £500. It's crazy s**t. Diminishing returns and perhaps pointlessly addictive, but it's a hobby, and I'm awesome, so it's all good
That control system you mention sounds similar in principle to the FragFX PS3 system that I nearly bought. Analogue stick on the left for moving, and a mouse for looking & aiming.

LMAO!! Exactly the same. I wasnt happy with the cut of his jib, so I nailed him. Promptly got attacked by his mates, so I cleaned them out, too.
Went through the door and got whipped and beaten down. LOL. That ghoulish bloke who ordered it will feel my wrath eventually...

I played up to the journey to The Pitt. Only 30 mins or so.
It looks mint though, really grimey.

I feel I should share the events from last night :
I downloaded the DLC, done. I loaded up Fallout 3 from my last saved game, and noticed that Fawkes was standing next to me. Confusion struck, as he was killed when I returned from Anchorage on my last play. I checked my Save Game files, and Anchorage was about the 4th one down. Hmm, so perhaps I hadnt saved when Fawkes died. Nevertheless, he was alive and well. Whilst I was browsing through my save game files, the missus claimed I was a "sad b*stard" for even pondering Fawkes existence. She may have had a point. I wandered around for a minute or so and got the Radio Signal message that some guy from the Pitt needed my help. Mint. Paused it and went to make a brew.
Whilst in the kitchen, I heard Emmerdale was on. Odd, as I hadnt put it back into TV mode, so I figured Gem must have put it on to record something. I came through and she was there, with the remote in her hand and a big sad expression on her face saying, "I didnt mean to..." I looked down at the XBox, which she had accidentally switched off while plugging something else in at the mains!!
I wandered back into the kitchen, cursing, and then returned again to find that my Elite console lights were flashing red! RROD?! :S This tipped me over the edge, and prompted a lot of swearing. I pressed the power button the XBox, then switched it back on. It loaded up fine. Thank f*ck for that. I was so close to literally losing the plot.
Was an eventful build up to playing, I tell thee, and there was almost a death.

FFS.
I bet you were secretly excited at the remote chance to use VATS on the Dingle family. I know, I would've been. Critical strike + Bloody Mess on the fat one. Done.

Oh dea, get it going anyway Scutch?!
So what's the deal then, if you get this can you continue your file from the "main" game and/or Ancorage? I am still in the main game but considering playing the DLC before finishing it, so it feels like the main quest is prolonged a bit more, and the DLCs are just like EPIC sidequests...

You load a save game and receive a radio transmission, instructing you of where to go to play the DLC's.

Anchorage: Yes.
Pitt: No. Bung it all at your safe house first, take the bare minimum to heal and defend yourself. You lose it all at the start.
