    Coming to Xbox near you on December 21st, says BethBlog: <blockquote>“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. </blockquote> And the official release: <blockquote>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 http://fallout.bethsoft.com.

    Doesn't sound particularly exciting to my ears, treasure-hunt and all that, but I guess we'll see.

    Also, X-box exclusive, huh? No chance of me buying then, but I assume it'll show up on other platforms since the term "exclusive" seems to be a rather loose word these days. Right up there with "epic" or "immersive".

    Hope it will not turn out in yet another "run from point A to point C and back and back again"-thing.

    Yeah.

    This is rather stupid.

    It just goes to show that Microsoft doesn't really give a shit about the people who play games on PC.

    A heist... well thinking of most of the heists i saw in movies i'm highly critical if this DLC doesn't add another engine.

    The whole 'X-Box exclusive' - if it's again only about becoming it sooner - might have at least some good site, because pc-gamers get at least to hear if the DLC is rubbish or not before they can make a fault.

    Anyone else think they got some actors from Oceans Eleven to voice those three other wastelanders?

    It's a timed exclusive anyway, it's pretty damn certain.

    Of course it's a timed exclusive. What publisher would sign a console-exclusive DLC deal for a multiplatform title?

    No doubt Ausir will bring up an example of a publisher that will.

    Still, Bethesda won't.

    Can't say I care either way. So I'll have to wait a few months before they can scam me out of my money too, so what.

    They care a little bit about their Live platform, but it's a failure, and this game's not using it.

    Playable Joker for the PS3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum? I can also think of DLC that was released on both 360 and PS3, but not on the PC. Still, as you said, Bethesda won't do that.

    Well we also got content only for the computer which never got to the consoles - i'm speaking of the Team Fortress 2 'DLC's, well at least last time i checked they didn't get any of them.

    When I say DLC I'm not thinking of small shit like challenge rooms or clothes packs, really. They're so insignificant they can be console exclusive for all anyone should care.

    I seriously doubt a playable Joker exclusivity is the main reason for one platform outselling the others. I'd sooner attribute it to marketing. I'd be curious to see the numbers, though.
