Fallout 3 GoTY Arrives on October 13

Bethesda Softworks is preparing a bit of an event regarding its one-year anniversary of Fallout 3. The developer and publisher of the highly acclaimed, post-nuclear, role-playing game will release the Game of The Year Edition on October 13. The title will come out for the PlayStation 3, PC, Xbox 360 and include all the five expansion packs. The PC box will go for $49.99, while the console pack for $59.99. Quite the treat, one might say.

The downright fanatic or just the plain, more eager PS3 owners will be able to pick up the Broken Steel expansion of PSN on September 24, while Operation Anchorage and The Pitt will become available on October 1. The last two add-ons, Mothership Zeta and the much more acknowledged Point Lookout, will delight Sony fans on October 8. Along with this long line of releases, Bethesda also plans to put up an update meant to fix several of the troubles the game instilled in the PlayStation.

All these DLCs are bound to please many of the fans of the original game that never got to experience the Fallout-based spin-offs. Each of them offers a new side-story in the same universe, following a main quest and several secondary ones. Offering a hefty amount of gameplay time to the already vast experience, the expansions take the post-nuclear experience a few steps deeper into the Capital Wasteland.

Xbox 360 fans that proved loyal to the game and acquired all five Fallout 3 DLCs will also get some love from Bethesda in the form of a premium 360 dashboard theme inspired by the title. The players that paid MSP 4,000, the equivalent of $50, for the extra content will receive the theme gratis through a virtual token provided by Microsoft. Everyone else will have to cough up MSP 240, or $3.
