Yes, the magazine/website Famitsu. There are three designs to choose from, each coming in two colourways, and the best part is, some of them keep with the radioactive theme by glowing in the dark."

Those of you who prefer to play Fallout 3 on the PC and have yet to download Operation: Anchorage DLC should take note of some reported issues. Forum users at the official Games for Windows site are reporting that the game fails to recognize the DLC in some instances.

According to a GFW forum mod, it takes a couple of minutes to validate the DLC (see: boot up your game, go into the Wastelands, wait), but some users are still having problems accessing the content.

"As most of you very well know by now, Bethesda's Todd Howard has made a very controversial quote concerning an endgame to Fallout 3 on the Playstation 3. He said, "Not at this time, no." This is while both the 360 version and the PC version of the popular game is scheduled to recieve post-ending content for their versions. Many people, even though that have no plans to buy a PS3 console, have called this move highly unfair and without a reason behind it. Many knew about Bethesda's decision to give the 360 some exclusive downloadable content, but never did they imagine this kind of shafting for one system's version.

This is where Game Gazette comes in. Todd Howard apparently has a love fest for MTV Multiplayer, and is obviously doing the rounds for talking to people. We want to have the opportunity to ask him a few tough questions about his reasoning behind the PS3 version being shafted like this. In this regard, I am going to challenge Todd Howard to answer these questions, and to e-mail me so we can get something set up for him to answer them, because the gamers deserve some answers that he isn't giving to questions that not too many will be asking him."

UPDATE: The story was just updated with Darkpower stating that he had already tried to call Bethesda and to get in touch with Todd Howard.

Torrence Davis of The Bitbag writes, "There's been a huge misunderstanding about Fallout 3 and the ability to go back and play unfinished quests after the DLC has been applied to your 360 or PC. Apparently, gaming blog Next Gen News credited MTV Multiplayer with the info, but made it sound like there's actually a patch coming to the 360 or PC. There is no patch at all, it's just a part of the DLC functionality."
