Fallout 3 on steam (addon related)

Hi guys,

I bought fallout 3 on steam the day it came out and loved it, played it through several times. I want to play through the DLC but there is no way i'm paying through the teeth for it. I was wondering whether I could buy a retail copy of fallout 3 GOTY edition and use the DLC unlock codes on my steam copy.

Sorry if this has already been asked!

Just buy the retail GOTY version and uninstall the one from Steam and make sure you backup the saves in case they are in the Steam folder.

No idea if that will work though!

was hoping for a little more than that

....anyone else got any input?

So the retail copy has codes for dLC? If so don't you just input them all into GfWL through the game itself? The only difference with Steam is that the DLC is already downloaded for you.
