Fallout 3 news galore!

DLC to come to PS3 at last, while more Fallout 3 content announced for the near future.

Can you ever get enough Fallout 3? The overwhelming consensus (despite some bugs in Games For Windows Live's downloading process and some server issues) is that the answer to that question is a resounding NO. 

So there's even more coming, and to the PS3 as well.

Following some serious brain-time getting the DLC implementation to work over the Playstation Network, we should see Operation: Anchorage released for PS3 in late June, followed by The Pitt and Broken Steel 4-6 weeks apart.

What's more, there are two whole new expansion packs just announced. Point Lookout lets players explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content. In Mothership Zeta the aliens have returned! Experience an alien abduction first hand and find out if you're tough enough to survive.

Both games will cost 800 MS Points, be available on PC and 360 initially, and will be released in late June and July respectively.

Finally, for those who cannot be arsed with all this DLC malarkey, there are three new retail packages just announced.

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 June 12th.

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.

A Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition will be available in October. 

Looks like this game's going to own a piece of my soul for time yet. Keen.

Awesome.

I've yet to play "The Pitt" and "Broken Steel", but man do I love this game.

The swamp one sounds particularly interesting.

I haven't played any of the addons cause I don't want to catch Windows Live Aids.

I love the fact that every time I think I've finished everything Fallout 3 has to offer, Bethesda releases something else.

I'm gonna be playing for a year at this rate!

I was under the impression that Live has been dropped from all future DLC's which will make these future ones all the sweeter. Although backporting all the DLC's for the 360 and PC seem... random.

I think the DLC's for console won't have WindowsLiveAids, but I haven't heard anything like that for the PC?

Yes good point, I shall have to look into this further. I do know that the DLC's WILL be released on Disc at a later date for PC's however. Getting them on release date that is differnt.
