[Reasonable]

I will be playing on PS3, so no mods, I will play on 360 if that version is vastly superior, but I though the F3 problems had been sorted out on PS3?

Im not sure about the current differences, but IIRC at the time they were better framerate and MSAA for the Xbox 360. Since the wasteland has quite a few sharp lines if you dislike frame-rate drops or aliasing you may be better off with the Xbox 360 version.

I hated Oblivion too, but I absolutely loved Fallout 3. I put in over 100 hours already and thats with just one playthrough and without the expansions. When I come back to it, im sure im going to drop another 200 hours in easy!

If theres one thing I can say about the game is that for an open world title, the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. I completely immersed myself in the lore of the game, the music and everything! If you loved the dialogue in Mass Effect theres a good chance you'll appreciate the dialogue in Fallout 3 as well.

edit: @ Reasonable, its unreasonable to panic in a game like Fallout 3. A reasonable person always comes prepared and can deal with anything.

 

My panic in Fallout 3 when I ran out of VATS was nothing next to my panic in Dead Space when I ran had to reload at the wrong moment.

Funnily enough, my level 20 perk was the one where your VATS refills with power when you make a kill - no panic then, just pure ownage.

Munkeh111 - I think Fallout 3 remains a little better on 360 graphically, particularly for AA.  Obviously you have the expansions too.  The PS3 version actually has some interesting pros too - in as much as for some odd reason the developers seem to have left more PC options turned 'on' than 'off' (I think Digital Vault comparison pointed this out) but you take a frame rate and AA hit as a result.
