Post » Fri May 27, 2011 6:30 pm

so i purchused fallout 3 a long time ago, still have it, beat it twice. now i am building my own gaming computer and would love to play this on it. am i able to download fallout 3 for free if i purchused the 360 console version?

i know bioware does this with masseffect 2 and dragon age. not sure for FO3 and i wouldnt buy a second version just so i can try it with a keyboard and better graphics :).

thanks.

Probly not. I think you have to buy the PC version if you want to switch systems.

The graphics and mods will be more than worth the extra money spent on the pc version.

No. You'd have to buy it again just like everyone else who made the switch.

No you have to buy it again.

Also, BioWare doesn't do that...

@falloutftw

yes they do, when you register your me2 or dragon age to the site on your account. you can download the pc version if you wish to, along with any other items (terminus,small dlc, etc.)

That only applies to the DLC, not the whole game.

Downloading online is called piracy, which is illegal.

Ah, but you still pay for the games. He asks if he can for free.

Purchasing the game for one platform does not give you a licensce for another platform.

You can pick up a Bioshock/Fallout combo disk for $19. Not sure what the GOTY version costs.

I will close this so no one gives an answer that will cause problems.
