Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition Hits October 13, PlayStation 3 DLC Dated

By Alice O'Connor, Sep 17, 2009 7:26am PDT

Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition will arrive on October 13, Bethesda today announced along with news that its DLC will hit the PlayStation 3 thick and fast from September 24.

The GotY edition of Bethesda's post-apocalyptic RPG includes all five batches of its downloadable content and will be priced at $50 on PC and $60 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3--50 and 60 Euros respectively in Europe.

PlayStation 3 DLC--originally scheduled for late June--will finally begin arriving from September 24 when Broken Steel is released, which crucially continues the game beyond its original ending. October 1 will see the release of 'Operation: Anchorage' and 'The Pitt' packs, while 'Point Lookout' and 'Mothership Zeta' will arrive on October 8.

Bethesda paved the way for the PS3 DLC with an update which "addresses a number of issues, includes some optimizations, and adds trophy support for the DLC."

Hopefully the Fallout 3 GOTY is released without the whole GFWL tumor.

Looks like time to fire up the game again, to get a character set up and ready to jump right into the DLC areas.

What mods do you guys recommend for FO3?

What I'd like to see is a discounted DLC bundle for $30 or less that would have all the DLC for fallout 3.

I'm interested in the one that extends the story past the end the most. Do any of the others extend the ending or is it just one?

The problem I have is that I already own a copy of the original Fallout 3, and I'd just like to buy the exp stuff without having to buy a whole new copy of the game on top of it. It would be nice if they sold a pack of all of the exp stuff separately in retail. iirc the last two aren't released on retail are they?

I was just looking for news on this yesterday!

Like others have said I tend to wait now a days for a GotY edition of games that I know will have expansions/DLC as there is always enough games for me to play until then. (I still have yet to finish the first two Fallout games anyway)

I bought FO3 for $35. Getting all five DLCs would cost me $50.

WTF. Do I get FO3 GOTY for $50, and give FO3 (original) to a friend?

Can't I just get the five DLC packs for around $30? That would be great.
