I just wish they would give a reason for no DLC for PS3, I would just really like all the versions to have the same stuff available.

If you want DLC for PS3 please sign this:

http://www.petitiononline.com/Wave360/petition.html

The reason is simply that Microsoft pays companies large sums of cash to NOT release DLC on PS3, they paid Rockstar 50,000,000 (literally) to keep the GTA4 expansion away from the ps3.

It just goes to show how scared microsoft are of the PS3.
So if someone from Bethesda could tell me how much microsoft paid them that would be nice and if they did'nt atleast give a good reason.

This just dowsnt make sense. I would gladly pay for each DLC made available for this game just to enjoy the game for a more extended period, I would also like to enjoy the benefits of more armor, more weapons, and more enemies. It doesnt matter which console is better than the other. There are multiple consoles for the multiple tastes of consumers. Those that are missing out on the extended joy that the game developers spend hours on developing are missed just because some people decided to get a particular console. Please help to make the DLC available for all gaming platforms.

Sincerely
Anxious awaiting.

Sony pays off for exclusives as well. Microsoft just happened to pick up the rights faster, or was willing to pay more.. whatever the case may be. Also Bethesda had a hell of a time getting the DLC to work on PS3 with Oblivion. They may have simply not wanted to go through that hassle again. It has nothing to do with MS being afraid of the PS3. It has to do with the way the industry works. You PS3 Fanboys need to pull your heads out of your behinds and realize that PS3 is not the only one to get exclusive stuff. If this had been the other way around you all would have thought it was perfect.

why not release to all consoles and get more revenue?

Er this a bit late but if u check out the fallout 3 site they sayin dlc for ps3 late june 09 whoop whoop

i think its gay. i waited so long for thr dlc packs and their not going to be on the ps3. they gave no reason why they wont add it either. bethesda is making a big mistake money wise and loosing their gamers for ps3

The reason is they god paid, period. Rockstar got 50 million for their exclusive content from MS and im sure Bethseda got a sizable sum also. Whether its right or not to pay off developers I dunno, but it definately remains shady if not for any other reason than it dilutes gaming development into pure money making. Which rarely if ever ends good.

Todd Howard from bethesda gave the reason on IGN podcast Game Scoop Episode 102.
http://games.ign.com/articles/938/938185p1.html

Fast forward to the 39:25 mark to hear the BS reason.

well i think they should release the new content on a extra disk like they did with shivering ilses. i can see any technical reason why the playstation 3 could not hold or donwload it so i think there is some coruption here. they say that it makes no difference to expericence but try telling people that when they deside to realese an expansion like the shivering ilse, they wont be able to fight of the aligations when xbox 360 and pc users will be able to buy a huge 100 hours or so of gaming. while ps3 is left with the standard game. we have already seen the disapointing workmanship on the ps3 version. its slower, it looks worse and the horrible thing is that we payed the same amount for it. if you ask me we should be trying to boycott these vile betrayers of gaming standards. i dont see there resoning for this specially as ps3 is the most powerful console around, rockstar found it hard to get gta4 to work on xbox 360 so i think we will be seeing future generations of games either downscaled for the 360 or leaving it in the dust so games progress for the better. so we can make games better than ever.

Really.. the PS3 is the most powerful? Wow, another fanboy believing all mother Sony has to say. The 360 and PS3 are pretty much even in fact in actual final power the PS3 is slightly slower then the 360. On paper its a much more powerful machine, however the bottlenecks in the RAM and the non unified nature of it creates many hurdles that developers just dont want to take. The systems both have their good and bad, but to say one completely outshines the other is just fanboy BS

i like both ps3 and xbox but seen how xbox break down even till now i stick with ps3 and seen how they wont be dlc for ps3 is a shame like other have said all what M$ stuff always breaks down but they got paid for the DLC so we cant complain about just show us how company screw over other for money but that just my opinion i would get an xbox but i like my console to last me more then couple of month or less.

Downloadable content is the phrase. I think they might do an update disc. Sort of what they did with Oblivion GOTY Edition.

I am concerned though. I moved from the 360 to the PS3 and sam getting more and more dispondant. Although the PS3 is a better machine, the 360 seems to be a better platform... We seem to be seeing a repeat of the OS wars where Microsoft simply bought their way to the top.

Ps Found this & http://www.petitiononline.com/Wave360/petition.html :

"Also before you say that Microsoft payed off Bethesda i noticed this in a recent IGN preview:
Finally, although the build didn't have any trophies and focused solely on the single player experience instead of the downloadable content coming on the 360, we were told that these elements could potentially be grandfathered into the title with future patches if the demand for these items is high and it's easy to add for the development team."

Hmm...yeah, ;ast time I heard, it was the 360 that had download size limitation, not the PS3. Oh well. We can never know what's really going on thanks to layers and layers of NDAs.

I'm not sure how you people are handling your 360's but i have had only one for 3 years and my buddies have had theirs for quite some time.

Great PS3 owners get the stinky end of the stick again

i've heard this has to do with each platforms EUA (end user agreement)... each one is different.. supposivly the PC and XBOX have a clause saying its okay for the modifications and that the PS3 sadly doesnt... Being a Sony fan since its inception i am very dissapointed. I have a computer but.. i bought oblivion on it and it didnt work as well as PS3... and i've heard that is common with Oblivion and Pc users... I had all of the recommended requirements... i just never knew what was wrong.. I also dont have much money so i dont want to have to buy fallout3 for computer and then have to turn around and buy it for another console.. i even saved for 2 years.. extra change and such that i had to get my ps3.. anyway i think this is messed up because (especially in the times we are in now) video games can be a great investment! my husband and i play video games all the time and its more fullfilling and cheaper than going out to places and spending money! we even play games together. i just think that selecting which consoles can have DLC content is stupid. it makes the fans of the product upset when they dont have it because of a different console. ALL I KNOW is they better not turn around and make a GOTY edition of this... buying the expansion packs at Gamestop because they can't always be found in my area walmart.. sucks because they never have them on a good deal. i remember buying oblivion for ps3 AFTER i bought it for pc and it was the same price as the pc version but had two expansions! I love bethseda and its games! i love the fallout series even tho i'm new to it... but i still think that they should offer it for all consoles or just release the content with the cd exclusively like Fatal Frame does for consoles.. (ex. FF2 directors cut for Xbox)

This sickens me. I'm getting older and finding gaming more and more of a disappointment with each passing year. Mostly for reasons like this. Microsoft, EA, and Disney are the three worst companies out there for screwing people over. I agree this is Microsoft buying there way to the top. Again.

Microsoft's Xbox division is currently involved in three separate lawsuits due to the poor quality of their product. These issues would never have hit the lawyer phase if they bothered to FIX THE PROBLEMS rather than, well, continue to count on the stupidity of their consumers. Hell, they've even had a few slip ups in the form of internal comments or documents stating they knew, they knew, the damned machine would RROD and destroy discs. They knew refurbished systems had a 2 to 4 month lifespan. They know selling a system for $199 then making people spend another $400 on all the upgrades means selling a more expensive, less reliable system.

Now. For Bethseda. If the PS3 is so difficult to program for, then why the hell did all three versions come out at the same time? Shouldn't the other versions have hit first and then the PS3 version come out, say, 3 months later? They need to understand that pulling this crap now means long time fans will not purchase future publications. Do they care? No! Microsoft is paying them off now.

I'm so sick of all this crap, I hope the gaming industry collapses and puts all these sad excuses of nerds in the poor house. I'll go back to rolling dice from memory. Try to charge me for that stuff Microsoft! I dare you!

I cant belive this is happening AGAIN!!!!! First it was Oblivion, no DLC. so they made the game of the year version for us PS3 owners.
1. Chaching $$$ they loved life.
2. now we have 2 versions of the same damn game just one has DLC. BS I SAY!

Reason for no DLC is "ohh it wont work". BS when other games IE. Warhawk, and other upgraded, patched, and DLC games where out.

Now all the fans of Fallout over the years have been waiting for this to hit the streets and now we get this same crap answer as we did as the last game that Bethesda put out for the PS3. I say they are getting paid OR are working on getting even more money when they release Fallout 3 GofTY verson with all the DLC up to that date.... BS I say BS... and I hope they dont get the next Starcraft version or any other long lasting line we love... Sad day again for the PS3. Out done by a slacker, pay off who ever system we have now. Sad I say

I'm no fanboy, but as a ps3 owner i do feel slightly betrayed. sure, let consoles have exclusive games, but any person who shells out the 40 odd quid for a game is ENTITLED to the trimmings, however poor. this just isn't on bethesda, not on. SCRAP EXCLUSIVE DLC!!!

I'm also a ps3 owner. I wish my computer was a Mac so i didn't put more money in for Microsoft. I love the Fallout franchise. I think If Interplay still owned the Game i think they would have either made it only for the PC which i wouldn't mind. But I also think they would release it to all systems. Also They are the only company i do know that LOVE THE FANS. But sadly they went bankrupt. IF they had there hands on it still i think we would have more Nostalgia and actually more time in the game. THey would have given every system every new DLC and they would have probably came up with a better ending. Plus i think even with the DlC they could have made the game up to a 300 hour plus game at least. I beat Fallout three in less than 80 hours and got everything. I didn't leave anything untouched and i feel the ending of the game obligated me and other ps3 owners to have the DLC. Plust the fact the Way Bethesda did the multiple endings pretty retarded since i could reload from my last save and get a different ending on the same character and it didn't even matter if i was Good Evil , or Neutral I say that Interplay would have a more complex ending......

Loosing money is the only way getting M$ down to earth -
thus I wish W7 to be a death born baby like Vista.

I will definite buy NO other Bethesda title - they shall be taken down by the market!

I'm ok with no dlc packs for the ps3 but i wish they made the max lvl 100 instead of lvl 20 so even if i can't download the packs i can still lvl up to 100 instead of being stuck at lvl 20.:[

this is a load oh bull. it should be for ps3 aswell they would make more ££

Bill gates paid bethesda to not make dlc for ps3. He also paid 250 MILLION dollars to not have gta4 dlc on ps3. its a desperate attempt to boot the 360's life as the ps3's potential with the better hd on blu ray disks gets more popular

Still very disappointed! Purchased it for PS3 before realizing DLC would not be available. I do have a 360, but can't afford either the time nor the money to purchase it for the 360 and get the DLC. Guess I won't be experiencing Anchorage or Pittsburg.....

why whon't it be coming out on ps3

this fallout dlc needs 2 come to the ps3, i feel a bit cheated, dam microsoft

Well in honest terms if the ps3 is so hard to program how the hell has killzone2 been rated best graphics. When thts a ps3 exclusive, well seems to me tht they made a separate ps3 version 4 bad graphics and i almost feel insulted, is my money not good enough because i own a ps3. well i wasnt a fanboy about 12 minutes ago but tht gets u nowhere. Sony should after these resesions offer designers two options screw ur money or be feir

I just found out that there will be no DLC for the PS3, I just can't believe it I feel totally betrayed by Bethesda, I don't really believe in exclusives because in the end it's the gamers that loose out. But if you have to do exclusives don't give one format just the game and then the others the game plus all the extras, that's totally unfair. I'm a PS3 owner and wasn't exactly blown away by it's performance on the PS3 very buggy and glitch y but even with all that there was so much to enjoy this all leaves me feeling rather sad about the hole situation, just another turd sandwich that us PS3 owners are gona have to feast on.

So dissapointing. His comment about giving us 60$ worth of game so no DLC is warranted on the PS3 is BS!!! My 60$ is not good enough but Xbox 360 owners money is good enough?? Why would a company so blatantly piss off a branch of game buyers. Moronic. I hope someone gets fired for this load. I would expect a formal apology and then DLC made available immediately.

A reason, albeit perhaps not the sole reason or THE reason, is that Sony charges the distributor for downloads.

http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2009/03/23/sony-ps3-charging-developers-for-online-content-–-xbox-live-wins/

Microsoft you disgust me. and Bethesda you disgust me even more by accepting microsofts bribe.

M$ you monopolizing bstrds, if you want more people to buy your poorly made "console" (more like a cheap computer made out of second-hand parts) you should give up on it and make a new, quality console, like Sony has. My friend has gone though FIVE xbox 360s all with RRoD and has finally given up on them, don't you think that means something???!!
Focus on money and you will lose.

And if i see one developer publicize that they've turned down an offer of $200 million+ from Microsoft and say that they're bstrds and should die, i'll buy all their games.

I fart in your general direction Bethesda. When did you become a branch of microsoft?

And...Once Again this is why I dont like consoles very much ........They become outdated and there's always a giant war going on between which one is best.... But PC gaming doesn't have that problem and PC's don't become obsolete after like maybe 5 years? So yes I have a 360 but I would rather choose my PC any day over my X box its just the way I feel about stuff like this oh and as for the RRoD on the 360...... I got mine back in October 2005 from the every 10 mins contest and not even ONE time have I had to deal with it and I even play it up to 8 hours straight sometimes...And I hear about people that have had RRoD like 6 times! What I think is that they aren't keeping their consoles where they should be in well ventilated areas I keep mine in my basement on a glass shelf and Ive had the same one since It first arrived at my house as a prize

Hi, I'm a Mac.

PC has a war going on and will until people realize that Apple is overpriced yuppie crap.

You say that consoles get old. While true.. upgrading your PC every 2 years to stay atop the curve is always a pain. Worrying about driver issues and install capacity is a pain. Not to mention that someone running the same game on a higher level PC has a major advantage over someone running a slower PC (online) Consoles level that field, and they take away the annoying worry about whether or not you can run it. Currently the offerings between PC and PS3/360 have all looked and performed almost identically. In some cases the console version has looked better (GRAW 2 and Vegas 2 to name two off the top of my head) yes by the time the PS3 and 360 are ready to be released to the field they will be behind the PC. However, to keep your PC up to date your spending at least a couple hundred every year. So you run into spending more money then you would if you bought a console every 6 years. I fall victim to keeping everything up to date.... my PC by far sucks more money then my consoles.

I'm no fan boy of PS3 or Xbox 360. I do own a PS3 and have been loyal to Sony for sometime. I do enjoy the exclusives for Ps3 and Xbox like Metal gear solid 4 and Halo 3. Though when they bring a game to all consoles I think its way unfair to release special privileges for one console and not the other. Exclusive games is one thing but exclusive features for a game that came to all systems is wrong. Some people cant afford two systems or the same game twice. Microsoft needs to stop this buying people off. Hopefully with all the talk and petitions PS3 will also get DLC. I hope..

They should have made it clear on the PS3 box that no DLC would be available. Honestly, if the game companies know that they are not going to release anything for PS3 customers it should be made very clear on the box. Not everyone reads stuff online so they may not know this info before making a purchase.

The fact remains that Hines new from the start that there would be no DLC for PS3 users but failed to include that info clearly in the marketing other than online posts. It should have been clear on the package. This kind of behavior is going to lead to a brutal class action lawsuit at some point. Perhaps price the PS3 version for $30 instead of $60 if there are no plans to improve the game. PS3 users can't even get a decent patch!

I'm not going to buy an xbox 360 just to play extra content. However, if I had known there were no plans I would have possibly bought the PC version of the game. As it stands I will not do that now until the game is in the bargain bin and by that time I will probably have moved on.

Kind of lame for Hines to basically say that he is trying to push customers to one system or the other by not offering DLC. Honestly, how long will it be before someone or a group figures out how to make the DLC available to PS3 users without PS3 or the game company making profit from it? All Microsoft and Hines are doing is creating an opening for people to find ways around the system they have created.

This is bs bethesda, why cant we ps3 owners have dlc? Whats your legitimate reason for leaving us out. We payed 60 dollars for Fallout 3, we should have the chance to get the full experience, not just a buggy downgraded version. You guys at bethesda better fix this or you may lose many loyal followers of your brand.

are you kidding me? there is no reason they shouldn't add dlc for ps3, and it is short changing us, we're not getting the complete experience, just because we already have a ps3 and cant afford an x-box 360 like their other customers doesn't mean we need to get the short straw. I'm sorry but i call bullshit.

I think Bethesda is being damn unfair seriously, you basically surely kept all the money Microsoft gave them and promised to not make it for freaking PS3 god the last game I ever buy from Bethesda and so have my friends too said the same they have both X box and PS3 but still find it massively unfair, it should all be fair to all consoles, ha seems Bethesda isn't much a respectable game company now huh? seems not even Bethesda can play fair losers!

I think Microsoft should spend more money on their crappy console than shelling out money for exclusives. Why buy an Xbox 360 to play Fallout and the extra content knowing that the damn system will most likely burn out in 3 to 6 months!

This whole situation is absolutely ridiculous. As a Playstation 3 owner, I payed just as much for my copy of the game as anyone else, and yet I get denied the ability to experience new content, gain ten more levels, and actually be able to finish the game after the main quest, and for what? Some vague excuse about Oblivion and "how it's DLC went"? We're told to just deal with it, because we're getting our $60 worth anyways, which is most definitely true. I am not frustrated with what I spent to buy the game. I am frustrated with being denied the ability to spend my money on extensions of what I thought was a great game.

I am not a child, Bethesda. Do not treat me like one and give me some half-assed excuse as to why you wont be offering it for the PS3. Any teenager who reads around gaming sites for five minutes can find out that you have an exclusive contract for DLC with Microsoft, and were likely paid a large amount of money for it.

All hail to the all-mighty dollar.

This is quite obviously Sony's fault to a point. Charging for DLC! I like the PS3 and have one, but this is just a terrible marketing idea for a system that has very little in the way of exclusive content. when looking at it from a game studios point of view it makes sense. 16 cents for a download, how many people do you think bought Fallout 3? 4.7 million in the first week, and many more after that, 4 700 000 x $0.16 = $752 000 x 3 = 2 256 000. The retail sales were 300 million, subtract the fees for DLC and the manufacturing cost and the amount is high, but not as high as it would be if you don't bring the DLC to PS3.

This is gay I am a PS3 owner and I bought Fallout 3, and then like a week after, I found out that we get no DLC and why not?...Because the worlds lamest company threw a couple of dollars in Bethedesa's face (figuire of speech I know it was lots of millions).
All the companies know that PS3's are the future of gaming and yet they ignore us.
Greedy companies like that deserve to burn in hell, DAMMIT BURN IN HELL

We are finally happy, all DLC of Fallout 3 will hit PS3 on June. Thanx God!

@Jordy: Where did you see this?

well the news is from october last year, but it seems that Bethesda has decided to grace PS3 users with DLC for Fallout 3, here is the link to the news
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Fallout-3-DLC-Coming-to-the-PlayStation-3-New-Content-All-Around-112056.shtml

this is all down to the fact that the xbox is slowly dying its poor qaulity and expensive add ons are starting to make the consumers angry, when the two came out xbox was cheaper so natruly many people picked one up instead of a ps3. But the constant reports of faulty consoles and the 4 month life are making people wake up and shell out that little bit extra for a better more reliable console (ps3) microsoft has noticed this and has got scared started buying the rights to many games and dlc's personally i find it worse that they dangle a, lets face it truly fantastic game in front of our faces when offered the trimmings it is pulled away. I for one did not belive u bethesda would sink so low and frankly im ashamed of u. U where my faviroute manufacturer oblivion was a work of art but now this is a blow against all console owners not just ps3 but all console owners that u would forsake any of us when a wad of cash is shaken in front of your face. I dont know how much microsoft has payed u but like i said u should be ashamed. all i can say is that the xbox will not last as people will give their buisness to a more loyal company to its consumers. Also dont make the exuse that dlc's are difficult to put on the ps3 we all know full well that the money u would make from it would far outweigh the effort put in.

That was a well presented arguement, Fawkes, and I see what you mean by the whole situation not being very fair.

I do not have either console, or even a computer (which crashed recently due to a virus sent by email.) I am typing this at my friend's house.

I decided yesterday that when I got the money together, to go to Game and buy a PS3, a copy of Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. But when I discovered that Fallout DLC wasn't coming out for PS3, I became angry.

What right did Bethesda have to deny us these add-ons to the game. Just because Microsoft paid them a great deal of money, if you believe the rumors, to keep the DLC to the Xbox 360 (not to belittle them, they are a great company and I admire Bill Gates) doesn't mean they had to take it. They probably made a lot of money from the DLC and the game itself. And they didn't even have the deceny to tell us that it didn't make any PS3 DLC because of "problems". I'm sure this was why they were vague and not very helpful in telling us what these so-called "problem" were.

I know that Bethesda have now corrected their mistake by releasing PS3 DLC for Fallout 3, and people are finally happy. So am I, but this was a stupid problem that shouldn't have been there in the first place. If Bethesda hadn't been so foolish, greedy and short-sighted, they would have seen that PS3 owners around the world were willing to pay an arm and a leg to get new quests, locations and a proper end to the main quest.

Thank you for having the patience to read this message, or rant, as some would say, and have a good day. Oh and Bethesda...

Great game, well done ;)

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/07/13/fallout-3-downloadable-content-on-psn/

That is a link to a blogspot on psn, basically PS3 IS getting DLC content, sadly not till september. BUT there is good news, The first DLC the ps3 gets is BrokenSteel > O:A > The Pitt > Etc. :) so dont fret
