Hey, I recently bought a PS3 and wanted to get FO3GOTY, but I couldn't find any copies so I just bought a used FO3 (which was still hard to find for some reason).

I love the game and I'm almost finished with it, so naturally I wanna get the DLC. But I noticed they're $10 each, as opposed to FO3GOTY which is $20 on Amazon and comes with all the DLC.

My question is, if I buy the GOTY edition, can I continue the game I started on regular FO3, or would I have to start a whole new game? I don't know how DLC works because I'm new to this and have never downloaded DLC for any game.

Or, basically, can I just grab the DLC from the GOTY edition and play it on my current FO3 savegame? If I could do that, I can just give my current copy to a friend who's been wanting to see what all the fuss is about.

Is there a chance they may even lower the price of the FO3 DLC for the New Vegas GOTY launch?

PS: This game is insanely fun. I haven't played videogames since PS2 was still reasonably new so FO3 completely blew me away. I can't wait to check out New Vegas when the GOTY comes out next week.

Yes, you can load your save from FO3 onto the FO3 GOTY edition.

In rare, I mean real rare, instances, weirdness can come from this. Just load your existing character, make a new save slot with the new game, play it for a bit then save and reload it. You want to get all the new Journal Updates before you make the new save slot and that can take a few minutes. If the weirdness in character stats, quest log diss-appearing and the like does not appear in the first time you load the new save, then you are good to go.

Thanks for the info. I'll be ordering FO3GOTY very soon then.

Yes you can load a save from Fallout 3 to Fallout 3 GOTY, or vice versa.

Fallout 3 GOTY was hard for me to find. But I got lucky and found a used copy at Best Buy.

I suppose it all depends on your location. But in New Orleans , I checked everywhere ... was about to give up and order online. But thought I might try Wall-Mart. And lo and behold I find the shelves stocked with brand new PC,SP3 and Xbox GOTY fallout3. That was around christmas time though.

You did the exact same thing as me lol. Unfortunately, I got a game breaking glitch in the Pitt so I got my money back for the GOTY edition therefore losing all my stuff since you had to give them your items at the start of the DLC. Very depressing

What was the glitch?
