    Isnt this suppossed to be hitting stores (gamestop) soon? If so when? I see it is just a add-on (few hour gameplay/quests)

    Also, seems the downloadable version has been out for a while. Any reviews? Worth it?

    Thanks

    All I know is that it is a DLC which means you don't buy a hard copy you just get it over games for windows live. I think there is a Fallout 3 complete version coming to stores that contains Fallout 3 and the 3 DLC packs, but as far as getting one DLC on its own from a store is a no go according to what I know.

    Is it good? I don't know I played Fallout 3 and now I have moved on to over games soI haven't played any of the DLC for it.

    Operation Anchorage was really disappointing. There were some cool parts, but it was way too easy and way too short - and too closed path as well, not open like the rest of the game.
    I heard good things about "The Pitt" but was a bit turned off because of Operation Anchorage so haven't made that investment yet.

    There will be 2 more DLC released and then all 5 DLC will be included in a new edition of the game for all platforms, but I don't think that will be released until the end of the year. Until then, I think your only choice is buying it digitally from GFWL.

    At least their expansions come out quicker than Half-Life 2 episodes!

    I really liked Operation Anchorage despite its short length and ease. It was quite different from the regular fallout 3 game. Still...i think it should've been a couple bucks cheaper.

    The only reason for you to get Operation Anchorage might be the Gauss Rifle and the Winterized T51b Power Armor.

    But I agree,compared to Operation Anchorage, The Pitt and the Broken Steel are much better.
