Hines: Xbox 360 and PC DLC Exclusivity “Was the Right Thing To Do”

“I couldn’t even tell you right now what the DLC would be, but our plans are for substantial stuff,” he said. “The equivalent of things like Knights of the Nine for Oblivion, where it provides many hours of gameplay, not just a one-off thing of an item (or items) or a hangout, or things like that.”

He also reminded PC users that the exclusive downloadable content will be not just on the Xbox 360, but on the PC as well.

“DLC is going to be exclusive to the PC and 360, not just 360,” he said. “Every platform has its advantages and disadvantages when it comes to DLC, and I assure you we are intimately aware of every technical, business, and fan-service aspect when it comes to DLC and any given platform.

“We felt [PC and 360 exclusivity] was the right thing to do for Fallout 3.”

We are sure it must have been a money decision. Fallout 3 is set to ship October 7, 2008 with no date on the exclusive downloadable content.
