Ditto. Another thing I would like to add... I will NOT buy another Bethesda game until they correct their brains. Think what could have been if Fallout's world had been created to fit a BD 50...
you just blew my mind dude...that would have been totally wicked!!
I'm disappointed that the PS3 version seems to be the worst of the bunch, but its got to be better then playing it on my 5 year old PC. I was running Oblivion with very low settings and was able to achieve 8-9 fps.
I'd also like to see what other magazines and websites say about the PS3 version. Remember this is only one person opinion. Granted it is PSM, but...

I had to emulate the pixel shaders for oblivion on my pc, and lets say oblivion on the ps3 looked amazing, if you saw oblivion on my pc it was like half life 1.. thats just how low I had to set the settings to move at higher then 5fps.
So the size of what the DLC will be is that of a Knights of the Nine? That's not so bad. I think the graphics will look better on the PS3 anyway!! If it was a full on expansion I would see the problem.
Yeah it sucks but I still think it will look better on PS3. I could be wrong though.
Also, I blew through the article....what was the reason for this anyway? Laziness?

It was a opinion of a reviewer that was originally misquoted and token out of context, corrected, corrected version taken out of context and the internet set it self on fire...

they never said, which means $$$$$$
im going to wait to see reviews before i jump to any conclusions mat about the quality of each game. that article did not say anything about the ps3 version being inferior aside from the DLC. so we will see. id much rather play this game on my ps3 with my HDTV than on my laptop with a 15in screen

They said it stuff in the distance was more jaggie, rougher textures, and choppy framerates. What is wrong with your eyes?
Total crap, no. But it's clearly the red headed stepchild of the three.
In any case, anyone who wants the definitive version will get the PC one, otherwise, the PS3 version is clearly the worst one, although it admitedly seems like a great game on any platform.
I think there were quite a few of us who were looking forward to this....
Im still looking foward to this... Still firmly have the collectors edition preordered.
The Collector's Edition will include the game disc, manual, a bonus "making of" DVD, a concept artbook, and a Vault Boy Bobblehead, all of which will be contained in a Vault-Tec lunchbox.
Fallout 3 looks rubbish on PS3 - UPDATED
22-Oct-2008 Claim the predictable internet headlines, but we've played it on all three platforms - and here's the real, if less exciting, truth...
25 Comments
Our exclusive Fallout 3 PS3 review (from PSM3#107) has leaked onto the Internet and, as expected, a single sentence has been dragged out, beaten and interrogated under a spotlight. This one; "The PS3 version compares poorly to its Xbox and PC counterparts." Which, in the parlance of the Internet, obviously means; "THE PS3 VERSION SUCKS! XBOX WINS! ANOTHER CRAPPY PORT!" But that isn't the case. The PS3 version just looks SLIGHTLY WORSE than the other versions.
The PC version of Fallout 3 is gorgeous. The colours are vivid, the draw distance is endless, the textures are high-res and the lighting effects are beautifully subtle, especially when you're gazing over the Capital Wasteland at sunset. It's the best-looking of the three.
The Xbox 360 version's textures are noticeably rougher than on PC, and objects in the distance aren't quite as clear. It does, however, boast an impressively solid frame rate. The game is, otherwise, identical.
NOW, the PS3 version looks the same as on Xbox, but things in the distance are slightly jaggier/rougher, the textures seem 'muddier' up-close and the frame rate is choppier, especially during the last few story missions (which may be the same on Xbox, but we've not seen the equivalent scenes to comment). We won't spoil anything, but the set-pieces here are MASSIVE, and the engine quivers under the weight of what's happening.
So, really, the difference between the Xbox and PS3 versions won't hamper your enjoyment of the game in ANY WAY. High-res textures or not, it's still the same huge, epic, absorbing, brilliant adventure.
And if you're bothered by a slightly inferior frame rate and fractionally blurrier textures, then perhaps, yes, you'd best buy the Xbox version, leaving the rest of us to enjoy an almost-identical, equally brilliant, game on PS3, while you smugly inspect concrete textures at terrifyingly close range to reap the full benefit, rather than, say, losing yourself in a 100 hour epic quest in an evocative post-apocalypse. Or having fun.
Good night.

EDIT: As this story has spread, some of the more conspiratorial forum posters are suggesting this post is 'damage control', prompted by Bethesda. Once again, sorry to disappoint, but no-one from Bethesda, or their PR Agency has been in touch - we just felt the need to clarify what had been taken, and blown out of proportion, in our review. While it is entirely sensible comment that, yes, we could have clarified the visual differences between formats more clearly in the review, seeing as we already had to trim up to 800 words off the original copy, we opted to describe more about the game's setting, its atmosphere and rich possibility, than devote 300 words to the minutiae of textures, and visible - but negligible - draw distance occurrences, since most of our readers, we presume, would be more interested in the game's broader sweep. It is, after all, a 100 hour action-RPG, not an exercise in turning over corpses to inspect the resolution of their trousers. As for those claiming this as some form of victory for Xbox's architecture over PS3, the dull truth is that games will almost always look slightly better on the format they were originally coded for. In the reverse scenario, look at PS3-specific titles like Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, MGS4 and Killzone to see how PS3 can perform when coded from the ground up. Bigger third-party developers, especially EA, have almost completely eradicated cross-platform hiccups - for example, our recent demo of Skate 2 led on PS3, while last year's game led on Xbox.
I hope Bethesda are reading the furor and saying, "oh shit....we screwed up.."
im going to wait for reviews as well, but i don't really know how much this will affect game sales for the ps3. there may be a few hundred or even in the low thousands of those who won't buy it on principle, but overall many more people will still buy it. it makes me mad that they are putting out a product that is not as well made as the 360 and PC, but i still might end up getting it because the actual game will probably be really well done. every game does not have to be as graphically sound as uncharted and MGS4. would this game be much prettier if it was a ps3 exclusive and used up 40 gb? yes. would it change the gameplay at all? not really.
dont worry, soon, xbox will release 720 and then gone are the days of watered down ps3 ports
