Fallout 3: The Pitt available for download [Update]

It's time to launch that Games For Windows Live client that you almost never use. That's because the second of three planned downloadable expansions for Fallout 3 has been released and can only be downloaded and purchased exclusively with Microsoft's game content download service.

As we have mentioned before, Fallout 3: The Pitt takes your character out of the Washington DC area for a trip up north and west to Pittsburgh for new missions, monsters and more. The expansion from Bethesda Softworks costs 800 Microsoft points to downloat (about $10) but of course you can't actually buy that exact number just so you can get The Pitt. Sorry, thems the breaks.

Update: The Xbox 360 version of The Pitt is apparently experiencing some odd visual glitches for some users; so far those issues have not been reported for the PC version.

If you have an Xbox 360, you can sign in and get them in increments of 500, or go to the Zune store and get them in increments of 400.Posted at 10:30AM on Mar 24th 2009 by Bouncer

hope its not broken like on the 360 *downloads to find out*Posted at 10:41AM on Mar 24th 2009 by Sam

I have it on PC, only problem I've seen is the autoaxe disappeared while I was holding it, equipping another weapon and switching back to the axe cleared that up, oh, and I got a runtime error upon exiting the game. I'll check to see if that happens every time after I eat some lunch.Posted at 12:19PM on Mar 24th 2009 by Bouncer

The pitt has officially been pulled from the xbox live marketplace. Hopefully bethesda will have it working by tomorrow. Posted at 12:31PM on Mar 24th 2009 by Ted

Sad to see this DLC receiving flack all around when it only really seems to be effecting the 360 version. Anyway, I haven't even finished the retail game yet so these DLC packs can wait.

Okay, confirmed that you get a runtime error every time you exit the game now, the autoaxe model disappears if you attack with it outside of VATS, it's still equipped though, and it is crashing like crazy, and I know it's not my PC, I haven't had any crashes on the game (outside of too much overclocking, lol) since like November. Good content, I love the new gear, but it needs a fix. T_TPosted at 5:23PM on Mar 24th 2009 by Bouncer
