Bethesda gives a status update on Fallout 3 DLC for PS3 photo

While the first three Fallout 3 add-ons for both Xbox 360 and PC were all sorts of messed up upon release, the latest pack, "Point Lookout," seemed to launch without a hitch. Has Bethesda learned its lesson? I hope for the sake of PlayStation 3 owners the company has.

"Operation: Anchorage," which is going to be the first of the Fallout 3 downloadable content to make it to the PS3, is still being worked on according to Bethesda's Pete Hines. He told Eurogamer that because they are dealing with a different platform, the DLC "requires special attention and plenty of testing before it's released."

Sounds to me like the developer wants to avoid another botched DLC pack launch at all costs. "We are trying to put the finishing touches on it now," Pete explained, "but as I said above it's a different task than DLC on another platform, and so there are things we have to finish doing and testing before it's done on PS3."

We are also reminded that the plan is to have each additional add-on go up on PlayStation Network in intervals of four to six weeks once "Operation: Anchorage" debuts. Sounds good to me. And for the record, I'm still totally rocking the ninja suit shown above.

I'm ok with the ninja suit, but I hate that it forces me to take off my lucky shades. Besides, with all my sneak perks I can pull that kind of crap off in Power Armor.

But no matter what, when I'm not in combat I roll around in my Merc Adventurer suit, with Roving Trader hat and Lincoln's Repeater.

I had already played the game when trophy support finally came out... so started it again. I'm actually kinda "fallout 3'd out" so I don't know that I would buy any of the expansions. :(

I'll wait for the GotY with ALL the new DLC. Cheaper.

Ditto. I can wait a couple months to play through it with all the DLC together and save a bit of cash in the process.

I recently bought fallout 3 new for ps3 for 15 bucks, with shipping to Brazil included. So I guess the DLC won't hurt so bad

I love ebay.

I wish more games received the same dlc treatment as fallout has. It really extends the life of the game. Sure it's been the most expensive game I've ever owned but to me it was worth it to have something good to play during the dry (game wise) months. Hopefully Vegas is similar - with better visuals.

Ninja Armor FTW. That looks awesome. . . I'll probably jump in on this. I wonder if it'll come in the DLC combo pack?

'Ninja Armor' is just the Chinese Stealth Armor from Operation Anchorage isn't it? So, yes it will come in the DLC combo.

And best? No. Cheapest? Yes. Nothing better than meeleing people to death without them being able to even see you.

Yeah, that Ninja armor is awesome. Also, you can wear head gear with it! It looks silly since the models clash with each other a bit, but I dont go anywhere without my shady hat or my crazy tree worshiper hood.

The Chinese Cheat Suit pretty much takes all challenge out of the game (not that it's difficult to begin with once you reach a certain level). I agree it looks pretty slick, but using it == instant win button in nearly every battle. I do think they made some of the new foes in Broken Steel nearly immune to it's "stealth field" so at least of few of the harder foes can bypass the cheapness of the item.
