I have been watching fallout 3 gameplay videos and i personally think it looks like a fun game. The thing that is holding me back is that the PS3 got lower rated but only because of some visual glitches. To anyone that has the PS3 version is it bad enough that i shouldnt get it(The Orange Box Port) or is it worth the 60 bucks.

It is worth the 60 bucks. The bugs are minimal and dont affect your experience that badly

The only bug I've seen that is not in the other versions is that the game freezes momentarily whenever you get any PSN notifications on your screen (friend online/offline, new msg, etc)... but if you turn off notifications in the XMB then this issue does not come up at all.

The game is awesome and well worth getting. There are other bugs in the game... but they're the same ones in the PC & 360 version... and while they can be annoying at times, they don't take away from the greatness of the game. Definitely a GOTY contender.

It's soooo worth it IMO. The only really bad bug is the XMB notifications but other than that, this game is seriously one of the best I've ever played. :)

I am very much in the same boat. The disparity between the two versions seems to fairly big, PS3 version has worse draw distance, lower resolution textures, and a ton of visual glitches, I think I could let those pass, but when you also consider the PS3 verison does not support Anti Aisling as well, I am very hesistant to get a game in which I will constantly bothered by tons of jagged edges. But I have been waiting for this game for ages, its a tough decision.

As somebody who has owned the PS3 version and now owns the PC version. If you have the ability to get it for PC do it. If not, it is an awesome game so grab it for the PS3. Definitely worth your money.

I don't think the game really looks that great (visually) on 360...so I don't understand the graphical complaints. Is it just texture problems or something?

Personally, I haven't experienced any bugs, but I'm only starting the game. Keep in mind, this was made by the Oblivion people, and Oblivion had tons of bugs in it. I would say more than Fallout 3 based on my own experiences.

Keep in mind that the reviews that gave it a lower score, have also all said the game is still awesome on PS3...and they are right. Amazing game. Plus, despite what some whiners may have said in the past, this really does just FEEL like a Fallout game.
