30 days. Who cares? While we wait, we an enjoy the inevitable deluge of mods that will come out after the creation tools come out.
I'll just figure this is Bethesda's way of saying "I'm sorry that you bought our awesome game for the wrong platform."

I'm just glad it's for 30 days. With GTA I had to wait a year for the DLC. But as a PS3 owner I getting annoyed with us being lest out.

I like how many of you respond by going " Because Microsoft is greedy and Evil " LOL First rights to and Exclusivity to DLC are commenplace in the videogame industry.... If I remember correctly Sony had DLC characters for Batman Arkam Assilum that nobody else got a shot at for a year.... and they also got the BF3 Karkand DLC two weeks before the 360.... it happens all the time

Videogame companys auction off these rights to consoles all the time... highest bid wins.

if they release fallout 4 designed around the 360 like they did with skyrim........i will NOT buy it at full price. i can easily wait six months to pay half price on a STEAM sale or even sooner on ebay. im tired of giving my money to developers that insist on designing around consoles only instead of having seperate version for each platform. two worlds 2 had a much smaller budget and smaller team and yet they managed to make a version that took advantage of a PCs superior firepower.

and before someone says that consoles sell more copies......no they dont anymore. when you separate games between xbox and ps3 and PC instead of lumping all consoles together you see just as many PC copies being sold on many games as there are for 360 or PS3 respectively. its just that over half of PC sales are done digitally now through STEAM Origin and Stardocks. im hoping that DICE is a harbringer of things to come with them essentially flipping microsoft off and designing a game that utilizes current PC tech. same with projektCD for witcher 2.

as for the DLC i frankly dont care about 30 days. if anything id rather have the xbox users beta test them for any bugs that will pop up.

I don't understand the whole xbox & windows differential. Aren't they both Microsoft?

Christ, all these reports of the game being broken and INFESTED with bugs and I haven't encountered any? Odd.

For the first 30 days. We've known this for months and months now.

There's no point in raging about it, or re-posting common information.

I'm honestly not worried about what they do with the DLC, since the first one will likely be some garbage items comparable to horse armor anyway, just a waste of money. Since I play on PC I'll at least have free stuff through mods anyway, and all the outstanding bugs and glitches will get fixed by some awesome modders. A 30 day wait for what is bound to be useless crap is a small price to pay for having access to unofficial patches and mods in my opinion.

The thread subject is very misleading, the XBox 360 will receive the DLC thirty days before the other platforms, they will not be for the XBox only.

Since the title is incorrect and there are is a lot of off topic posting I'm going to leave this locked.
