16.8k sub.

I have a copy of this sealed in box for Xbox. I was working at GameStop and someone wanted to trade it in. I told them they couldn't trade it in since it was dlc so they gave it to me. I kept it sealed. Pretty cool

I only recently got into the series after the new update to Fallout 4, but I did remember when they announced it to release not long after it was announced. It’s crazy to go back in time through this video to see all the hype I missed out on.

This is so crazy to me because I vividly remember buying this DLC at a game stop fully expecting a disc inside. I got home and opened it up to see that card inside with no disc and my 7th grade ass IMMEDIATELY becoming stressed out because I was very new to xbox live and had no idea how to redeem a code on XBL yet. Once I got it downloaded it turned me into a Microsoft Point redeeming fiend. (Sorry mom)

As a proud owner of Battlefield 3 Premium Edition DLC Bundle in form of a physical edition from way back in 2012: it's not unheard of to create box-art and manufacture physical cases for distribution while not including anything in the case aside from a download code, even way back when. The aforementioned case doesn't even contain a card of any kind, it just has a license code printed on a piece of paper and glued onto the inside unprotected by anything. So I'm not saying Zeta had a physical edition, all evidence goes against it, but it was a somewhat common practice to distribute digital content through physical boxes with download codes.

I remember I had to stop playing NV when it launched because the Enclave Remnants Bunker door didn't have the tag to let me exit. The game didn't see it as a door at all and my playthrough had stalled.

Aww, I expected Alpha Protocol to be mentioned in the backstory section

Not on fallout new Vegas, but probably would happen there too if I buyed the dlc’s. My ps3 didn’t download the icon for the alien canon in fallout 3, so two weapons for icon had a box with error 404 in it

I had this thing! I got it from gamestop back when you could go to the store and buy dlc in store, since I bought the other 2 add on packs I figured I'd get this one to finish the collection, but when it only had a card in it, I redeemed it and repurposed the case, eventually when I traded in my 360 games I put the artwork behind the second add on pack's art because I didn't know what else to do with it, so somewhere out there is a legit box art of this sitting behind add on pack 2 lol

Was that PS3 copy of Fallout new vegas ever returned? or did the owner get something?

Game is ok. Was to broken and bored me to death when it came out. To bad Obsidian didnt get more time maybe it would have been better but whatever they agreed to it.

The name for the dial tone sounds is called DTMF.

I actually still own the physical box for this DLC - if I recall correctly it either came with a card that had a redemption code, or a plain paper printout of the code on a receipt from gamestop or eb games

I bought the PC physical copy PC 2 months after released and one of the earlier updates was literally re-downloading the entire game! I never encountered game breaking bugs.

you should say peace of cake at the endo fg oyur videos

the intro feels like an internet historian video, I loved it

Brink was the first bethesda game and I loved it 😂

My first fallout experience was actually on the PS3 Playing both fallout 3 & NV. I never had Internet when I was younger so I played both games without ever updating them 😂

Obsidian Bug 🤝 Bethesda Bug

.... still 10,000 times better than fall of 76 my goodness

I love that DLC. It’s one of my favorites. I mean obviously it can’t compare to like far harbor… but I love it. I love space, aliens, the weapons, everything. I just wanted more.

I can see you worked hard on this vid. Nice job dude

I swear I remember seeing a Mothership Zeta box at Best Buy once along with the other Fallout 3 expansion physical boxes. I remember specifically thinking that them going to space was a jump the shark moment. Could it be possible that a few boxes were made simply for display purposes, possibly by the stores themselves, and then they just gave you a code/card if you purchased it?

I bought the card upon release, redeemed it and probably threw it away eventually.

people didn't start appreciating New Vegas until Fallout 76. before then, public opinion was on the side of Fallout 3.

Babe stop I need to watch this video by a stranger I never seen before talk about if a game dlc from 15 years ago ever existed in physical form or not.

I know that WoW sold their game cards in DVD cases, so it wouldn't be surprising if they did the same for a short period

There’s a lot of gameplay footage so must be real

I do not know about the USA/Canada, but here in Australia/New Zealand such cases and cards (often used by EA for the Sims 4) are produced locally buy authorized sellers to put items on the shelves, they sell at the same price as a disc, but the labels are printed locally and assembled locally for local sales. the authorised distributor will download the cover page, print them and insert them in the sleaves, they then print a code onto a slip or card, and package and seal it, one code per product. and then they retail at the same price EA sells them for on their e-Store. I prefer this way because at least we get something for the money we pay instead of a simple download code in the EA stores App. Plus clearance sales for the physical version still happens far better to pay $8 at a real store when all e sales are never more than 50% off however in the case of Mothership Zeta I do not think it ever came on physical media other than via GOTY Disc or G.O.G. store and after you've downloaded the offline installer and put it onto a Data Disc

I think it’s real there’s are old ass video I saw with the case!!! Search fallout 3 and fallout 3 mother ship zeta unboxing

Plot twist: the Survivor2299 guy was not a troll, but a legitimate leaker.

"Why would Bethesda spend the time, energy, and money to create a unique case just to shove a piece of cardboard in it to show a code?" They did it for Fallout 76

There is a audio bug on series S that every so often the voice line stutters and so does the pipboy radio…..

Just found your channel a few days ago. Love the content man keep up the great work!

This is why New Vegas needs a remaster

Why create an entirely unique case to shove just a piece of cardboard in??? Like the Fallout 76 physical release?? lol

good video keep it up. could you do video about van buren?

This video made me laugh a lot :D love to see more of this!

7:48 song name??

10:53 fucking got me LMAO

I think it would have been best game of all time if they pushed it to 2012 instead of rushing it.

hot take, mothership zeta is the best fallout 3 dlc and it should have been a wild wasteland addon for new vegas instead

PSA - Don't download New Vegas Anti-Crash. It basically just captures the crashes in a box where they violently jostle around and compound, slowly fucking with your save data. It should only be used as an absolute _last resort_ if you can't figure out why a crash is happening and can't seem to find a fix.

God I miss the day that I got New Vegas on my old dell laptop after I was unable to beat it on ps3 because my copy was actually totally bugged to where if I started the battle of hoover dam it would just hard crash no matter what. Good times, and I've beaten it at least 26 times since then

To answer your question they sold them as singletons at gamestop. They just had the DLC image on a disk case with nothing in there, the dlc image was printed on the disk and they stopped doing it around oblivion horse armor.

Mothership Zeta was the worst DLC I have ever had the pleasure of playing
