I'll say this: Exclusive Content to support getting it for 360.

I think the 360 is getting exclusive content, but not 100% sure so don't quote me on it. So I'd say go with the 360.

If you dont want to quote him, quote me. Xbox 360 has exclusive content, and its not mass effect 360 exclusive content going to PC for free.

As it turns out, both 360 and PC are getting the content. It's PS3 that gets left out.

That said, you basically are choosing between playing it on your console or having mods. I'm not interested in mods, so my preorder is on 360.

No, the PC is getting that too.

The PC version also has LIVE and achievements. So, the 360 version has basically no feature-related advantage.

I'm not getting it at all, unless I eventually see some mods out there that turn it into an actual RPG rather than some bastardized hybrid.

Best choice based on what I've seen of the game: neither.

PC version. The exclusive DLC will probably turn out to be something like dog armor.

I remember at E3, the fallout 3 info clearly said the Downloadable content was coming to both 360 and PC.

PC unless it has some ridiculous DRM security that is creeping up on a lot of PC games (mostly EA though).

Definitely PC. The best part of Bethesda's games is the ability to mod them.

The PC version will obviously be superior; but I'm just not interested in this game, at all.

I'll say this: Exclusive Content to support getting it for 360.wile315

content will be coming out to BOTH platforms equally through the Live service. It's the reason why the PC version will NOT have a toolset for modding(cannot MOD LIVE titles that are DLC enabled). I personally would much rather have a mod community and unofficial content like other PC games then this official DLC milking, which Bethesda is no stranger of. I was originally all about the PC version with this game, but Bethesda has all but removed any incentive to grab to the PC version over the 360 version. Shame really.

Bethesda really got me angry with Oblivion, looking back it, it seems like with every waking moment, I end up disliking them and the game even more.

It would take nothing short of miracle for me to get this game.

I'm going with 360 because F3 runs on a similar engine as Oblivion and I get BSOD's every 30 minutes or so. What bothers me is that F3 seems suited for a mouse/keyboard interface and that I couldn't solve the BSOD problems by using HW or SW solutions I've seen online.

No, it's $50. Unless you're going to pirate it, in which case, please die slowly and painfully.

Why bother, they hate everything :P lock them in a room with only their favourite games and they would probably start picking them apart as well.

Though I cannot blame them in this case, I don't think I have seen a fanbase screw over like this since Shadowrun.

That said even though I don't plan on getting it; I'd say the PC version. Face it; it's the only version that isn't going to suck in the long term, plus extra resolution and more accurate controls is never a bad thing.

For PS3.. since I traded in my 360 for it (happy with the decision, and since mass effect went PC aswell, and it was the only game I wanted for the 360). I have a high end PC, that can play it on highest. But It just hurts my neck and back to play these things infront of it... I'd rather sit on a comfortable sofa with a nice drink next to me, and not worry about spilling it all over the keyboard or something.

I'm not a hermit...but even I know that Oblivion on 360 without mods is useless. Thanks to not being able to use mods in the 360 version, your character will NEVER EVER feel more powerful because of Bethesda's horrible level scaling system. Hermits HATED Oblivion before the mod community took over. And I have a bad feeling the exact same thing will happen with Fallout 3. Bethesda will have something really annoying in the game that will tick off hermits who are big fans of Fallout 1 and 2. And whatever annoyances are found in Fallout 3 will not be able to be corrected on 360 because of the inability to use mods.

Well I have pre-ordered this for PC, it was cheaper and I just think I would prefer to use the KB/M for this game.
