($7), 30 percent off the usual price of 800 ($10). Granted, you can pick up a used copy of the recently released "Operation: Anchorage" and "The Pitt" combo pack for about $15 at GameStop, but this download-only deal is still pretty decent. At any rate, it certainly stacks up better than most of the "deals" we usually see.Add Operation: Anchorage to your Xbox 360 download queue

At least it's less than a year old.

Look! This deal has semi-relevance!
Then again, it is the worst of the Fallout 3 DLC. It MIGHT actually be worth $7 . . . it definitely wasn't worth the $10.

Not terrible, but as far as "deals" for DLC go, you shouldn't even bother getting out of bed if you aren't offering 50% off.

If anybody besides me was wondering if there is price parity on sales for the Windows Live version of Fallout 3 DLC, there isn't :( It's still 800 points. I guess I can console myself with the fact that my game was $10 less out of the box to begin with I suppose...

God, would it kill them to actually cut the price by 50% for once, specially on these kind of deals? Seriously... I might of got it, if it wasn't for the fact I'd be left with 40 points (which is like 50 cents) that I wouldn't be able to use, besides the waste of money costume packs for SF4. It be fine and dandy to me, if they trashed this useless point system for real money. I don't complain about the PSN store and how it has $1.50 items, you know why? Because that other 50 cents could easily be used at any other place.

If that question wasn't rhetorical then the answer is "because there's no guarantee that you'll spend that other 50 cents with Microsoft."
Whereas if you've got 40 points, you need to spend another $10 or whatever to get the DLC you want, and you have some more points left over afterwards.
Rinse and repeat.
