Went ahead and grabbed it, but it won't launch. Just sits on the Steam "Preparing to launch..." dialogue box.
Are you starting it using the launcher or the exe?  Try switching.  Also, try it with the LAA mod installed: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35262

I actually tried it both ways.

Did the confirm cache thing, it said I had 1 bad file, and it would re-download it. Then I ran the checker again, said the same thing. So I assumed the problem must have been something to do with Steam.

Eventually fixed it by downloading new graphics drivers, and re-starting my system. Don't know if it was the grpahics driver or re-start that was the key though. Pretty strange bug.

Starting to get back into this & just restarted a new character -- it took me a bit to configure the game on my new rig so that it doesn't crash on me every other time I change cells, but I think I've got it...

;)

I also just DL'd the "Lonesome Road" DLC.  Haven't had a chance to get there yet.  Still building up my PC.  For those of you that haven't Been There & Done That, my take on the DLC's:

Dead Money - Hate it, extremely tedious, can only play it now using some quasi-cheat mods that allow me to bring my PC's own equipment into the area

Honest Hearts - Like it, nice setting, interesting story line

Old World Blues - Loved it the first & only time that I went through it, but the beginning is sort of a Dialog Clickfest that I can see being annoying on subsequent play-throughs

Or something...
Got all the DLCs and agree with this assessment.

Lonesome Road didn't do it for me.  The motivation for the bad guy didn't make a whole lot of sense. The value of the loot there was ridiculous.

I saw the Fallout3 GOTY at Wallmart and picked it up. Good choice?

Depends on what you paid.  I thought it was a good game (not as good as FONV IMO, but others feel differently).

There are a ton of excellent mods for the game, if you got the PC version.  Install FO Wanderer's edition (which was good enough that Obsidion pretty much copied it entire and incorporated it into FONV), and play the various mods by Puce Moose (start with this one http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4730 and work down the list), as well as Quest for Heaven (first ione here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10208).

I have started a melee based char up, just cleared the Primm Hotel only armed with a 9-iron..."Fore!" :P

Don't advance on the main quest (ie-entering the Strip et al) too soon. Travel around a bit first or the game will seem too short.
