Following May's Anchorage and The Pitt combo-pack, Bethesda has confirmed with Joystiq that the second Fallout 3 DLC retail pack featuring Broken Steel and Point Lookout will hit store shelves on August 25 for $20 on both Xbox 360 and PC. You'll need Mothership Zeta – the fifth and "final" piece of Fallout 3 DLC – to round out your DLC collection. It's currently available for $10.

If you're late to the Fallout 3 bus, you may want to consider holding off until October when you can pick up the previously announced Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition which bundles the game with all five DLC packs. It's currently listed for $59.99 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 releases, and $49.99 for PC with an October 13th release date on both Amazon and GameStop.

MTV Multiplayer writes:

"Bethesda released a new trailer today for "Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta," the alien-themed DLC pack. While the trailer looks pretty slick, it was the description of the trailer on Bethesda's official "Fallout 3" site that really jumped out at me:

"We've released the trailer to Fallout 3's final DLC, Mothership Zeta."

Um...well, I guess that's it for "Fallout 3" DLC! Hope you've enjoyed yourselves, we'll see ya when "New Vegas" comes out in 14 months or so!"

In an email interview with Jeff Gardiner regarding August 3rd's release of the next "Fallout 3" DLC, "Mothership Zeta," MTV Multiplayer asked if it would even be possible to increase the level cap from its current 30 (as set by "Broken Steel.") Specifically, if the stat caps were boosted beyond 10 and skill caps were boosted beyond 100, would the game system simply break?

Clearly it's not the first time Gardiner has had the question, but his reaction was a bit more focused.

We're excited and eager to bring Fallout 3 DLC to PSN. Unfortunately, the content is going to be releasing later than originally expected. Our DLC expands on the original game tremendously - each DLC offering 4-6 hours of additional content - and is no trivial undertaking. Here's a brief look at the DLC you'll be able to play.

* Operation: Anchorage (pictured above) – Enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe - the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders.
* The Pitt (pictured below) – Journey to the industrial raider town called The Pitt, located in the remains of Pittsburgh and choose sides in the battle between the slaves and the slavers.
* Broken Steel (pictured below) – Join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. Continues the adventure past the main quest and raises the game's level cap to 30.
* 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.

There was much rejoicing when Bethesda Softworks revealed the ongoing, extensive downloadable content support for Fallout 3 would no longer remain exclusive only to Xbox 360 and PC. PlayStation 3 owners have been begging for the add-ons, too, with Bethesda dodging reporters' questions on the subject. In May, when Bethesda announced PlayStation 3 support, they also issued a release date for the first content -- late June.

Obviously, it's not late June anymore. What happened? Nothing showed up on the PlayStation Store this week and Bethesda's been mum on the subject. Fallout 3's downloadable debut on PS3 may have been delayed, but an update is coming.
