The wait is finally over for Playstation 3 owners, this morning Bethesda announced that downloadable content will be coming to the PS3 version of Fallout 3. They also revealed two new DLC packs for all.

Operation: Anchorage will hit the PS3 in late June, followed by the release of The Pitt and Broken Steel four to six weeks apart. In addition, a new patch will be released for the PS3 that will let gamers download and play the new DLC.

As rumored, there are also two new DLCs planned for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360:

Point Lookout – Explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content. Point Lookout will be available in late June for Xbox 360 and PC. Cost will be 800 points or $9.99. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live and through token cards available at retail. Point Lookout will be available on PS3 after the first three DLCs have been released.

Mothership Zeta – The aliens have returned, and they're pissed. Experience an alien abduction first hand and find out if you're tough enough to survive. Mothership Zeta is scheduled for release in late July for Xbox 360 and PC. Cost will be 800 points or $9.99. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live and through token cards available at retail. Mothership Zeta will be available on PS3 after Point Lookout.

Finally, Bethesda plans to release some of the DLC on disc this summer and a Game of the Year edition this October.

Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #1 includes The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage on a disc and will be available for Xbox 360 and PC on May 26. The Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #2 includes Broken Steel and Point Lookout on a disc and will be available for Xbox 360 and PC in August.

Retail versions of the game add-on packs for PS3 are not possible and the DLC will only be available for download online via PlayStation Network.

A Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition will be available in October. It will include the original game plus all five add-ons for $59.99 for Xbox 360 and PS3, and $49.99 for PC.

That blows. I guess I'll have to buy the Game of the Year Edition.

yeah, same here, thats probably the only way ill be buying the DLC

bandit29 · 05-19-2009, 03:21 PM

Cool. The lack of DLC for the PS3 version is the reason I didn't buy it...I'll wait for the GOTY edition in the fall.

PA_Kid · 05-19-2009, 03:21 PM

Since I don't have fallout 3 yet and have no idea when I'd find the time to play, I'll probably just wait for the GotY edition - glad they mentioned that one now and not later.

Korvac · 05-19-2009, 03:44 PM

I knew it would just be a matter of time. Hopefully all the bugs will be worked out by the time each add-on is released.

Also, I'm glad I have good, evil and neutral lvl 20 saves handy for Broken Steel

Darkhawk9587 · 05-19-2009, 03:48 PM

I wonder if I should stop playing and wait for the GotY edition as I am not very far into the game yet.

AikonEnt · 05-19-2009, 03:53 PM

Probably GOTY edition for me, and when it's cheap also

And I'm curious as to why it isn't possible to sell the expansions for PS3 retail. What's the difference between installing a file you've downloaded and installing a file from a disc?

For the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion GOTY, there were no installs required. It acted as if all the DLC packs were already installed.

saprano · 05-19-2009, 04:03 PM

yes!!!!!! about damn time!!!! OMG im buying every single last one!!!!!

Thank you bethesda!!!!

Agreed (though I only ever got as far as escaping the dungeon at the beginning!), I'm curious as to why they say it's not possible the sell the expansion at retail. I'm not arguing against it because downloading means no mass producing of discs, cases etc. which seems a bit much just for added content. You can buy the add-ons retail for the 360, you can buy the add-ons retail for the PC, but they're not possible for the PS3, that sounds strange to me. M$ money was probably involved

Xombito · 05-19-2009, 04:39 PM

Well good. I almost traded my PS3 version for the 360 version for the DLC but I won't now. Maybe there's hope for GTA4.

Luis_A51 · 05-19-2009, 04:40 PM

How much will each of the 5 expansions be? $10?
If thats the case, ill trade in my fallout 3 for $40 now, and then rebuy the GOTY edition for $60 in the fall.

I'm sure they are only saying that its not possible due to people just buying the expansions to just install them and then returning them.

Because without a major install, you cannot play the full game with only the expansions, you need the actual main disc to play.

So why are they doing it for PC and 360?

Nvm, I just re-read the article.

It sounds like they are just spoon feeding it to the PS3 owners to save costs on their end as they do not care about us.

Beast · 05-19-2009, 05:03 PM

No. It's gonna be available on a disc for XBOX.

Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #1 includes The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage on a disc and will be available for Xbox 360 and PC on May 26. The Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #2 includes Broken Steel and Point Lookout on a disc and will be available for Xbox 360 and PC in August.
