Someone decides to prank call "Coast to Coast AM with George Noory" by describing a dream that sounds very much like Fallout 3.

Bethesda has finally announced that a content editor and downloadable content will be made available for Fallout 3 on the Xbox 360 and PC in the coming weeks. The editor is expected to be released in December, while the DLC will be made available over the next coming months. The DLC will also come in the form of three separate sets titled the Pit, Broken Steel and Operation: Anchorage.
The limited, Amazon.com exclusive edition of Fallout 3 has mysteriously re-surfaced. The Fallout 3 Survival Edition was up for pre-order back in early June 2008. Pre-orders were quickly snagged, with the PLAYSTATION 3 version selling out its inventory first. The MSRP from Amazon on these were $129.99. After the game launched in the end of October, they were not available for ordering any more. At one point these were hitting the $200-$300 range on eBay. Well just recently, Amazon has restocked the Fallout 3 Survival Edition for all platforms.
Fallout 3 places a player in the role of a Vault-dweller, who ventures from his secluded, underground survival Vault into a post-apocalyptic world of mutants, radiation, gangs and violence. Without giving details or a specific release date, Bethesda confirmed that it is working on a patch for all three platforms.

Glitches galore apparently... Fallout 3 isn't quite up to par on the PlayStation 3, if forums awash with enraged players are to be taken as indicative. Fans of the new game are more than a little miffed by some of the technical issues being reported around the PlayStation version of the new RPG-FPS.
IGN: "In October, the IGN offices became abuzz with something that can only be described as glee. That's because Bethesda Softworks' long-awaited sci-fi roleplaying game Fallout 3 was released at last. Once we had this epic game in our grubby little hands, sleep became a thing of the past."
