The first downloadable content for Fallout: New Vegas was just announced!
“Dead Money” will tell the tale of a deal gone bad. After teaming up with three fellow wastelanders, players will need to pull off an intense heist to find and recover the treasure of the Sierra Madre Casino.
If you’re looking for a sneak peek at Dead Money, we might have something In The ‘Works. For now, here’s the official release:
BETHESDA SOFTWORKS REVEALS DETAILS FOR FIRST FALLOUT®: NEW VEGAS™ DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT 
‘Dead Money’ Available December 21st Exclusively on Xbox LIVE 
 
November 17, 2010 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced that Dead Money, the first downloadable content for Fallout®: New Vegas™, will be available exclusively on Xbox LIVE® for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft beginning December 21, 2010.
 
“We’re pleased to give fans a chance to expand their experience in Fallout: New Vegas this December with Dead Money,” said Pete Hines, VP of PR and Marketing for Bethesda Softworks. “The release of Dead Money illustrates our commitment to creating entertaining add-on content for players to enjoy in already massive games like Fallout: New Vegas.”
As the victim of a raw deal you must work alongside three other captured wastelanders to recover the legendary treasure of the Sierra Madre Casino. In Dead Money, your life hangs in the balance as you face new terrain, foes, and choices. It is up to you how you play your cards in the quest to survive.
Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to Fallout 3 – the 2008 Game of the Year – brings this beloved franchise to a location only Fallout could do justice: Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas takes all the action, humor and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raises the stakes.
Reviews of Fallout: New Vegas have called the game as “an utterly essential purchase” (MSN UK) and as “addictively, rambunctiously fun” (Entertainment Weekly). The Associated Press awarded it a 4 out of 4 stars and said “Bottom Line: It’s a Blast”, while GameSpy gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars and called Fallout: New Vegas “one of the best games of the year.”
Published by Bethesda Softworks and developed at Obsidian Entertainment, Dead Money, has not yet been rated by the ESRB. It will be available for 800 Microsoft points.
Fallout: New Vegas has been rated M for Mature by the ESRB. For more information on Fallout: New Vegas, including the game’s downloadable content, please visit <a href="http://fallout.bethsoft.com/">http://fa ... >.

I don't understand why they make DLC Xbox only - I can understand withholding it from PS3 as that's the competition, but withholding it from Windows is blocking customers Microsoft already has.

It encourages you to buy an X-Box which Microsoft has greater content control over.

Of course, I already own an Xbox, and chose to get Vegas on PC because of the lack of content control.

Of course, in my ideal world, it wouldn't be hard for enterprising hackers to gank the DLC BSA off of the Xbox download and slap it up on the internet.

It probably isn't, but I'm thinking M$ figures most people don't bother with piracy on 360, atleast when in comparison to PC.

Plus - if it was on PC, there's probably a multitude to get the DLC, such as Steam, which means that Microsoft sees no money, whereas with every DLC on 360, they see a chunk of the pie.

It comes to xbox first, not xbox only, like the original dlc. It's shitty, but no shittier the most game companies these days.

Fucking travesty. If I had known this I wouldn't have bought the game, I would have pirated that shit. Fuck you Obsidian and fuck you Bethesda.

Yeah, fuck you Obsidian and Bethesda for not releasing a game on a platform rife with piracy! In hindsight, I'd have stolen your shit!

if this dlc is a heist then the next dlc will be a pyramid in order to reference the true pillars of the fallout community

You are forgetting the potential patches to correct serious issue with the DLC. The DLC also has an ESM. BSAs have the ingredients , and ESMs/ESPs have the recipes by which the game can cook you up your gameplay.

He doesn't have to make a point that you understand. It us who are bright that will boycott any offers of friendship you put out in the future. You are a thief without a purpose.

You and Yonmanc are more than welcome to boycott any future offers of friendship that I put out. Indefinitely.

Keep my name out of your mouth and we can keep it the same.

Here is a difference between me and you. You talk a good one but don't do what you suppose to do.

Oh snap.
