Bethesda is acknowledging Xbox 360 Fallout 3 fans this afternoon. Those with an IV drip bag with the word “Wastelands” printed on the side are receiving downloadable vouchers -- via e-mail -- from the developer as a way of thanks for purchasing all five pieces of the post-apocalyptic RPG’s DLC.
The voucher (pictured above) is good for one free download of a premium Fallout 3 theme. We’re still trying to figure out if the premium theme is fresh or a golden oldie, but it really doesn’t matter -- we can’t imagine anyone wanting to download every shred of DLC for a premium theme. Then again, people are purchasing RC cars and masks for their Avatars. Talk about nutty.

[Update: The theme -- I believe -- is fresh, but was announced by Microsoft and Bethesda several days ago. Game Informer is reporting that the DLC will be purchasable with a price set at 240 Microsoft Banana Dollars.]

It's one of those "redeem code" things they do for unlocking content for free.
I wish we were able to make our own themes like PS3 users however, even if it is kind of cool to have these things, paying for them is rather dumb personally.
Personally, I'd have preferred a vault 101 shirt.
Dont think i'll be changing the theme anytime soon, love that Wasteland Vista.
Hell I bought the DLCs cos I adore the game, the franchise and want to do my part to ensure there is more Fallout...so this theme is just an added bonus :D
The math sucks no matter how you slice it.
