Atari isn’t just re-releasing Fallout 3 in Australia. They’re also releasing something called the Fallout 3: Quest Pack 1 in June.
The new Atari Australia release schedule lists the Fallout 3: Quest Pack 1 as going on sale June 4. But what is it?
Of course, Bethesda hasn’t announced a Fallout 3: Quest Pack 1. And when we quizzed Atari this morning, they told us we’d have to wait for the official press release.
So, what do we know:
1. It’s only listed for Xbox 360 and PC, the two formats Bethesda chose to bless with Fallout 3 DLC
2. June 4 is about a month after the 3rd DLC episode (Broken Steel) will be released
Educated guess? The Quest Pack 1 is a retail disc compilation of the three DLC episodes, Operation Anchorage, The Pitt and Broken Steel. Given the DLC price points of 800 Microsoft Points each, we’d also guess the Pack will retail for about $40.
We’ll see how good our guesses are when Atari/Bethesda get round to issuing that official press release.

Monday, April 27, 2009 at 3:39 PMPlease please PLEASE Atari, don’t do what Rockstar did with GTA: tLaD. If I could buy an on-disc version with all this DLC and have to pay a few bucks more, I would in a heartbeat over downloading it.
The problem isn’t the connection speed, it’s the fugging bandwidth caps in Australia. I already use up most of mine in a month as is, and grabbing Lost and Damned, at 2 gigs, was a real irritation when it could have so easily been done as on-disc content that you just copy to the hard drive.
Follow Harmonix and do as they did for the AC/DC track pack!

Monday, April 27, 2009 at 4:25 PMiiNet doesn’t meter XBLA downloads… maybe lobby your ISP to do the same?

Monday, April 27, 2009 at 3:46 PMI posted on the story before this about fallout 3 australian rerelease. Logically a pack that’s around $50, maybe $70 or $80 at most, with DLC added, and having the end and lvl cap removed would be nice.

The disc only includes the first 2 DLC content packs, and is basically for people who don’t have Internet access to download them of Xbox Live.
