Question about Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition

#1 19 Oct 2009 @ 11:28
It comes on 2 discs, with disc 1 being the game and disc 2 being the 5 add-on packs. How does this work exactly though? Presumably you install disc 2 to your hard drive and then play from disc 1, but do you ever have to put disc 2 in the drive again once the content is installed? If anyone here has it and could tell me how it works, that would be cool. Cheers.

EDIT - Never mind. I found the answer I was looking for on IGN: -

Quote:
The second disc for Xbox 360 and PC does not appear to have any restrictions placed on it. No code is required to import the add-ons and you don't need to be connected to Xbox Live. I was able to install the add-ons on multiple hard drives without a hitch, and saves carry over for anyone that has started the original Fallout 3 campaign. As far as I can tell, it's possible to buy one copy of the Game of the Year edition and simply trade the second disc around to friends that own Fallout 3 to let them install the add-ons for free.

Cheers. The reason I asked is because I was wondering if I could borrow disc 2 off a mate, install the content, then give the disc back to him and play using my standard edition of Fallout 3 and it seems I can, so that's cool.
