And the heavens [and me] rejoiced!
I have read over the past couple of months about all of the wonderful, AMAZING [!!!] DLC [downloadable content] that has been available to PC and XBOX360 users who play Fallout 3 and have felt a smidge of envy.
OK. It was all out envy and lust and a pinch of anger tossed in for good measure.
While I readily admit that I LOVE my PS3 and am happy with my favorite platform, the lack of DLC for a game that has sucked me into the black hole of time suckage left me bitter.
Apparently Bethesda felt my pain since they have announced that DLC is coming to a PS3 near you [and me].
From the Fallout 3 website:
We are pleased to announce that Fallout® 3 downloadable content (DLC) is coming to PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. We have been working on implementing it for a while and look forward to bringing it to PS3 gamers via the PlayStation Network. Operation: Anchorage will be released for PS3 in late June, followed by the release of The Pitt and Broken Steel 4-6 weeks apart. Release dates will be forthcoming.
In addition, a new update will be released for PS3 that will allow users to download and play the new DLC. The release date for that update will be announced at a later date.
There are also two new DLCs planned for all three platforms:
- Point Lookout – Explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content.
- 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.
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 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.
If you could see me now, you would witness a grown woman doing the happy dance.
No. Seriously. I just did a jig.
