Bethesda has unveiled two more Fallout 3 downloadable add-ons, one called Point Lookout (unsurprisingly) and the other called Mothership Zeta.
The first arrives late June and opens a big swamp to explore, but the latter, oh the latter, has us experience an alien abduction first-hand and discover whether we're tough enough to survive! Mothership Zeta arrives late July, and both are 800 MSP.
Bethesda also plans to offer all DLC on PS3. This will start with Operation: Anchorage in June and be followed by The Pitt and Broken Steel later. They'll be about a month or six-weeks apart - exact dates are TBC.
Finally, Bethesda revealed the not-so-secret DLC retail bundles. The first Fallout 3 add-on pack bundles Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt, and will be available on 12th June. The second pack has Broken Steel and Point Lookout and arrives in August.
There's also a Game of the Year Edition arriving in October for all three formats. This includes the original game plus all five DLC add-ons and costs 40 quid on consoles or 30 quid on PC.

5 packs at 800 points each means I could pay £34 for DLC, too expensive!
Broken Steel was worth the money, but I've not bothered with the other 2.

I bought Fallout 3 for £25 when it was first released thank to Blockbuster's special deal. Add the £34 on top of that for the DLC and it isn;t much more than the game of the year edition which is due out later this year.
I really hope they raise the level cap again; 30 is too low for all this DLC!! |

Wow. Still haven't finished the original though but I'm glad they're bringing the DLC out on PS3.

"Will we get to hit level 30 after all, then?"
Well by the time I finished Broken Steel and The Pitt I was on Level 28, possibly because I stuck the game on hard when I did the Broken Steel quests. The last two levels didn't take me long to reach either, just go and clean out a few Super Mutant infested areas and give the blood samples to Paladin Tristin. |

Sure, it's all joy and smiles now... but when the DLC hits and it doesn't work... the screams, oh the screams... you'll understand horror, my boy.

I don't know if I have any enthusiasm for Fallout left now, I kind of went through the motions nearer the end of the game... the best part of the game being the aimless roaming of the wasteland on a mission of discovery.
Now if they patched trophes into Oblivion and fixed the vampirism bug, I might go through that again. |

Great news!!! I completed this (PS3 version) at about Level 17 & used one save slot immediately after I entered the last room & got stuck in there! Was considering starting again as an evil character but as it's such a huge game I have since moved onto a number of other games since. Even better, I sold the game & have since (yesterday) received from ShopTo my new Lunchbox Collectors Edition & was considering keeping it sealed as I had no reason to open it. NOW I HAVE, WOOHOO!!!
Was also a little jealous of you 360 owners that got all the DLC & was always hoping this would come to fruition. My favourite game of last year by a mile & one of my all-time favourites too. |

Pleased for PS3 owners, as Pitts and even more Broken Steel are worth additions, Anchorage is too boring for me and the only neat thing is to see things, designs as THEY were before being NUKED to the teeth.
Intrigued by the new DLC, and hey FIVE serious DLC is a lot more than what was available for Oblivion what with Knights of the Nine and Shivering Island. Still nothing would compares to the freaking sizeable Shivering Island addition and which was responsible for my first and only X360 RROD to date! |

I'm glad for the PS3 version getting the DLC as I originally had this game for the 360 finished it and gave it to someone as a present. Then trophy patch came out for the PS3 and I was so in love with the Lunch box collector's edition that I bought it again for my PS3 (Couldn't resist temptation). Then i was feeling bad that I had given away the version with the 'exclusive' DLC so I'm really happy now.
and as read above yes bethesda please patch Oblivion with trophies and fix that darn Vampirism glitch.

I should be jumping for joy right now, but having gone through pretty much the whole of Fallout 3 with no problems, I am now finding that having downloaded The Pitt and Broken Steel, my game constantly crashes! It was fine after Operation Anchorage, so I don't know what the problem is. The Pitt and Broken Steel are both the newest, bug-free versions. Nevertheless, I've tried re-downloading and clearing my cache, but neither helped. So I'm facing the prospect of having to start a whole noe game.

why do i feel like i've been fucked here? i payed £20 for fallout and £20 for stingy dlc and now if i pay another £15 i will have payed £55 for the full game, which is extreame considering if i'd held of on the DLC i could've got fallout from day 1 and the GoTY edition for £25 and payed £10 less. this is definiatly the last time i buy DLC.

This is great news - I was going to sell my PS3 copy and pick it up on PC later in the year, but I might as well hang onto it now. I think I'll have the enthusiasm to start over when this all comes out. :o)

I'm still playing the DLC just now so knowing more is on the way is great. As a 360 owner I also commend Bethesda on releasing DLC on the PS3. I don't like exclusivity agreements and it's not fair that some gamers should miss out on the content because the PS3 is their console of choice.
Looking forward to the new content. Good job Bethesda! Also as others have said increasing the cap even further would be nice.
