Yes. It is.
If I had a PC, the DLC would be FREE.
That's not to say that I have a PC to play the content on right now, but yes, the content would be free.

no it isn't cause you have too invest in a more expensive pc
and the console offsets the costs by charging for the dlc

| Domo-Kun said: So I should be happy that MS charges me for free content? Just because I can download it on my Xbox? Yeah...... |
lets see i have to pay just to get on live not to mention to pay for the content.i also find it annoying that microsoft makes u pay for free stuff(but didnt they pay bethesda to get it exclusively :O).

Again: a pc upgrade is not only so you can play something. It delivers much more than just an option for gaming. And if you upgrade sensibly, you won't have to upgrade for quite some time after that(it's easily possible to survive quite long with a PC upgrade). Games are already cheaper on a pc and they get the stuff for free. And it's easy to recuperate parts of your current rig into your future rig.
In this case MS charges for the DLC (downside compared to the PC), charges for live (downside compared to the pc) and the games are more expensive (also a downside). And if you want to keep playing it like that: A HD tv (for the optimal experience on a 360 and PS3) easily counters your "you have to pay for an upgrade too"-argument.

I dont see the point of bringing in the HDtv, cause you can use that also for watching football in HD

@Kirby
I WOULD have to upgrade my PC, yes, and that would cost ME money.
However, the money I spend upgrading my PC would not go to Bethesda, because the content by itself is free.
Look, we can make the same argument by saying that you already had to pay for the Xbox and the game, so having to pay for the DLC is ridiculous.

If you bring in the "you have to upgrade to play a game"-argument while a PC is capable of doing much much more than merely play games and that an upgrade isn't limited to games, then I can bring in the HDtv as part of the console-package.
Take out the HDtv, then take out part of the cost of the upgrade too, since it's not game-bound, but rig-bound.
All other points still stand then.
And Domo-kun's point about the actual content still being free as opposed to charging for it, depending on the platform it's coming out for, still stands too.
Console gamers subsidise PC gamer free-loaders. Thats pretty much all I can say.
Tease.
Why mention Bethesda's Fallout 3 DLC in this thread ?
The episodes aren't free on both platforms.
At the moment the only DLC I can think of which is free on the PC is Mass Effect's "Bringing Down the Sky" DLC.
