    Hi ,I ordered a copy of fallout 3 for the PS3 by mistake on bargain alerts.
    I've always wanted to get it for the Xbox ,I got it for the pc ,but my pc is crap.

    Is it worth my while changing the ps3 copy for an xbox copy?
    P.S. I have a ps3 btw.

    No real difference. Few issues with the screen freezing seem to have been ironed out. I have it on both and notice very little difference anyway.

    Fallout 3 runs and looks better on the 360 than the PS3. It has a smoother frame rate and increased draw distance. Also the PS3 version can have some white line gaps between textures at times that are a bit off-putting. I believe the PS3 version has been patched since to address these issues but I don't have my PS3 copy anymore so I don't really know.

    Other than that if you like the 360 controller over the PS3 one then I'd try and change it.

    Thanks for the replies ,I do prefer the 360 controller and thats something that was bugging me.
    I'll see if one of the game shops will take an unopened ps3 version off me ,never traded anything in before.:(

    Worst comes to worst, you could trade it in second hand to xtravision or somewhere, and get yourself the GOTY ed for it's trade in value

    Gamestop give you fairly decent store credit, I got €15 for opened Darksiders.

    Once there's no scratches basicly.

    Why?

    I have heard of people getting the same game across different consoles and platforms. Could never figure it out.

    Well with Fallout 3 all the DLC was released on the xbox AGES before it was on the ps3 so some people who owned both consoles but only had the ps3 edition got the 360 one to play the dlc. Similar story with GTA4.

    I own both

    I originally got it on the PS3. One of my favourite games ever, and when I bought my Xbox I picked up the Game of the Year edition for pretty much the same price as buying all the DLC on the PS3. Mainly because I wanted to play through it again and buying the Xbox version gave me that incentive. Trying to max out the achievements made sure I didn't just rush through it for the sake of the extra DLC either.

    I have Fallout 3 for the Xbox and I'd rather have it for the PS3. I'll swap with you if like?
