Between January and August 2009, Bethesda Softworks released five add-on or DLC packs for Fallout 3 for all platforms. These add-ons are Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta. Each pack adds new quests, items, perks, achievements and other content to Fallout 3.
The add-ons were initially released exclusively as downloadable content on Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live between January and August 2009. They were made available for PlayStation Store starting with Broken Steel in September 2009, followed by the other add-ons in October. For Xbox 360, download codes for Xbox Live were also available in retail. Each add-on cost 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99. All five add-ons became available for the PC via the Steam platform on 7/16/2010, for $9.99 each.
In addition, two bundles with disc versions of the add-ons were released for PC and Xbox 360. The first Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack was made available on May 26, 2009, and consists of Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt and a Vault Boy poster. The second pack was published on August 25, 2009, and contains Broken Steel as well as Point Lookout. Both retail packages cost $19.99 US each. Mothership Zeta is not available on any disc other than the Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, except for the Japanese PlayStation 3 exclusive Append Content Pack, on December 9th, 2009, which contained all five add-on packs on one disc.
The Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, released on October 13, 2009, for all platforms, includes all five add-ons packs.

To do so, you’ll wield powerful new weapons, like the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon, and deck yourself out in brand new outfits, like the Gemini-Era Spacesuit and even Samurai Armor. | August 3, 2009 | |
