Don't worry, gamestop is smarter than us. Go to one of their stores and buy a code for the DLC. It will be $10 on one of those cards.

That is a tough one. The general consensus on these forums is that OWB is the best of the DLCs... so far. We know next to nothing about Lonesome Road, and it may end up being the "best" DLC. So you could get OWB now, or wait until the trailer for Lonesome Road (or the add-on itself) comes out.

Hope this helps! :)

i know, i've considered it, but lately i've been a bit too busy, since the gamestop closest to me is a half hour trip (i still go to it since it's my favorite gaming store :lol: )
EDIT: @Intact Garden Gnome, thanks! that's why im having trouble deciding, i've heard OWB was good, and yet i don't want to rush and buy it and find out i really should've gotten LW hah

my question is almost the same so i decided i would post here instead of making a new thread.

have all the DLC and am/was really looking foward to LR. only have about 800 points right now. with release turmoil, no info, no trailer, no clue. was thinking of just buying the new zombie pack for B-ops. as i love mah zombie carnage. but im worried as soon as i do they will get there act together and release a trailer or something. . .?!?

Black ops dlc is usually 1200 microsoft points. But again go to gamestop and buy it on a card.

Just stop by when your close. You must live out in some rural area, there are about 5 gamestops within 10 miles near me.

Get Old World Blues since it's a great DLC and Lonesome Road won't be coming out for a while

This.
Get OWB. By the time LR is out you'll have had enough time to get more points. :P

Opposite problem: what to do with the points left over from buying the FO3 DLCs when you don't own a console and don't play any other GFWL games? Like I really need stuff for an avatar I don't use. I can just hear Gates: "cha-ching, svcker"

Get them both. It's only $20. That's cheaper than seeing a bloody movie at the theater, and well worth it.

I agree with all the other replies here. OWB = best DLC for any FO game released to date

You won't be dissapointed!

And really, by the time LR finally releases, you'll easily have made the $10 necessary to buy enough MS points.
