More On: Fallout New Vegas
I don't really like these exclusivities but what can you do right? Bethesda announced that there will be DLC for Fallout: New Vegas (No shock here) but that it will be exclusive to Xbox 360. Now, the game is coming out tomorrow on the PC, PS3 and 360 but it looks like if you want to continue the adventures in the Mojave Desert and New Vegas, you'll have to get the 360 version.

No word on how long the DLC will only appear on the Xbox 360, but I hope it's not too long. I mean, the PC folks can at least mod the game so they can add some new and interesting content themselves, but the PS3 folks are out of luck here.

You can look for the DLC to appear starting this holiday season.
