PlayStation 3 owners waiting to get their Fallout 3 DLC on need only wait a wee bit longer, as Bethesda announced all DLC currently available exclusively on Xbox 360 will be coming to PS3 this summer.

The first add-on, Operation: Anchorage, will be available in late June, followed by The Pitt and Broken Steel. The latter two will be released roughly four to six weeks apart. But first, Sony will release a patch that will allow PS3 owners to get in on the DLC fun (no patch = no DLC).

Oh, but that’s not all, folks. There will also be two new DLC packs, available on Xbox 360, PC, and PS3. The first: Point Lookout, a new swampland area filled with new quests and additional content. Point Lookout will hit Xbox 360 and PC in late June for the price of 800 MS Points or $9.99, respectively, and will be available on PS3 once all three previous DLC packs are released.

The second new DLC pack is called Mothership Zeta, and involves an invasion of Earth by the aliens who crashed a ship on our planet, as seen in the far reaches of D.C. by the more adventurous players in Fallout 3. Mothership Zeta will cost the same as Point Lookout, and will be available in late July on Xbox 360 and PC. It will release on PS3 sometime after Point Lookout.

There will be two DLC retail discs — Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #1 and #2 — released this summer. #1 will include Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt and will be available on May 26, while #2 will feature Broken Steel and Point Lookout and release sometime in August. Both discs will be available only on Xbox 360 and PC.

Finally, Bethesda will release a Game of the Year edition of Fallout 3, featuring the main game and all five DLC packs, this October. This edition will run you $59.99 on Xbox 360 and PS3, and $49.99 on PC. Sounds like this is the one to buy if you’re still on Should I play Fallout 3 or not? boat.
