PlayStation 3 owners who were bent out of shape because 360 owners were the only ones getting any DLC love from Bethesda can now put their strongly worded emails away - Fallout 3 DLC is coming to the PS3, and quick.

According to a press release that came out today, Operation: Anchorage will be available to download from the PlayStation Network in June, with The Pitt and Broken Steel coming out in 4-6 week increments after that. Not only did Bethesda announce the availability of DLC for PS3 gamers, but they also gave details on two new batches of episodic content that will be made available for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

"Point Lookout" will be available on the 360 and PC in June, and "Mothership Zeta" in July. Both of these unreleased DLC's will be available on the PS3 at a later date. For those who have no online connection, Fallout 3 disc add-on packs, containing two episodes of DLC apiece, will be out this summer. 

Hit the jump for all the fine print.
