Check out this new Premium Fallout 3 theme photo

I'd love to pretend I haven't had fun customizing my avatar on Xbox Live, but if I told you that it'd be a flat out lie. I've bought a few articles of clothing, I've bought a few wallpapers. Nothing out of control or anything, but sometimes it's fun to dress up the console you spend so much time with.

Fallout 3 fans will be excited to see this new theme, which is completely free if you have purchased the five DLC packs for the game ( “Operation: Anchorage,” “The Pitt,” “Broken Steel,” “Point Lookout” and “Mothership Zeta”). Microsoft will provide a token to download the theme if you fit these credentials, starting October 1st. If you didn't buy those expansions but want the theme anyway, never fear -- you can grab it for 240 Microsoft points. Cool, right?

Awesome - I've bought all of the DLC (though I still need to play Mothership Zeta...damn you, Batman, for eating up all of my game time). Nice to see a company throwing us a bone for supporting them, even if it's just a theme.

Can anyone, please, point me to a website or somewhere I can go to preview other themes? There are themes that I am potentially interested in buying, but I refuse to buy them if I don't know what they're going to look like...and for some idiotic reason, Microsoft doesn't preview them for you.

My god, you actually spent monopoly money on virtual clothing and themes?

You spent money on avatar customizing? You just wasted your money

I think it would be awesome if it would randomly switch one of your friend's avatars with a super mutant.

Well you know what they say: "Fools and their money soon part!" So anyone who buys new outfits, or even new theme for their virtual doll, is definitely a damn fool.

Well, that's pretty awesome if they're giving it away to people who picked up all the DLC. I'm all for stupid little bonuses like this.

Nerdy Suit, I believe there is a thread on the Neogaf forums that shows screenshots of premium themes and stuff. I don't go there often and don't feel like digging it up, but I remember checking out some Street Fighter premium themes among other things.

Don't worry, Colette. I'll save you a seat on the Ship of Fools, as, according to some, we're apparently morons for having a little fun with our Avatars. Heh heh...

When I purchased every game in the summer of arcade before September MS didn't give me my fucking 800 MS points for some reason. I still haven't seen or heard anything of them. If I buy Mothership Zeta (only fallout 3 dlc I don't already have) then a similar thing will probably happen. fuck.

I give my permission for other developers to do this.

@Holyetheline: Microsoft stated that it would take 4-6 weeks for your points to get added to your account. So don't worry! (:

I think I recognize some of those Avatars. Is the one sleeping on the right Chad?

OH HECK YES!!! Now the only dilemma will be to ROCK this Theme forever or a Borderlands one if they bring it out. That is why I really dig my PS3 too, because you can make these themes yourself for free or make any image in the world a background. Regardless I"m buying this!

Yes - you can make any image in the world a background on 360 too (I currently have the cover of Absolute New Frontier as mine) - but the individual friends list backgrounds/tableaus are what we basically pay for with premium themes.

Oh and that neogaf link for theme previews - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=342627&page=8 - not sure if it's been updated in a while.
