    I had it for PS3 because my PC before now would not run Fallout 3.

    Also

    IGN has a review on the Fallout 3 DLC. Never seen such a bad review on DLC before.

    Hey look 1k posts...yay me

    Colin's Take on the PS3 Version

    Here we are, in the third and final week of Fallout 3 DLC releases on the PlayStation 3. And finally, we've gotten to the real heart of the DLC packs' greatness -- Point Lookout. Readers who have been following my comments on Erik's reviews for the DLC thusfar have no doubt been disheartened. After all, the DLC packs are all worth playing for Fallout 3 fans, but so far, on PlayStation 3, they've run like complete garbage. Rife with problems, some of these DLC packs have been barely-playable on a technical level, no matter how good they are underneath all of the issues.

    Point Lookout, Bethesda's strongest DLC attempt with Fallout 3, is certainly worth your purchase. Indeed, if the level cap raise that comes with Broken Steel isn't important to you, and you were to only buy one DLC pack, Point Lookout would have to be that pack. Unfortunately, I have to report some technical issues, not that this should surprise anyone. Bethesda seems to be completely incapable of releasing DLC that works on the PlayStation 3, and while Point Lookout ran better for me than Broken Steel, Operation: Anchorage, or The Pitt did, it's still far from being perfect.

    I ran into issues common with all of the PS3 DLC packs. The game would stutter often, the framerate dips regularly, and using VATS would only make these two problems worse. I have to warn you again, as I did plenty of times during the last three DLC reviews, that you should save in Point Lookout, and save often, because you never know when a freeze is going to strike. If you haven't saved in a while, you're inevitably going to be out of luck, so save, save, save, or risk controller-throwing amounts of frustration.

    In addition to these technical problems, you may also experience a bizarre glitch I experienced after I finished getting my Bogwalker trophy (this was following the end of Point Lookout's contained storyline). I went and spoke to Tobar the Ferryman so I could leave Point Lookout, and the game froze suddenly, and then my PS3 reset itself. I have no idea how this happened -- or why -- but it did happen, nonetheless. Bizarre? Certainly. But when you're playing Fallout 3 DLC on PlayStation 3, expect the unexpected. Or should I say, expect the entirely expected in terms of technical flaws, freezing and glitches galore. And that's a shame, because Point Lookout is pretty amazing in its own right, with its own story, its own map, and its own side quests.

    Well the last two fallout 3 DLC for the PS3 come out tommorow.

    BS was a busy. Massive lag and courrt saves

    OA had lag and quite a few crashes

    The pitt had bad frame rate and lots of sound issues(They all had it but it was real bad in the pitt) Along with some visual bugs.

    But I had all ready put some money aside for all the DLC so I might as well get PL and MZ.

    Just a but annoyed on how much Beth has failed its customers.

    It seems the servers are now doing better.

    A limited file service has resumed on one of the file servers while files continue to be restored. There's about 20G of the 200G or so files left to transfer, so hopefully by the end of the day service will have resumed properly along with the second file server returning to action.

    I want to thank everyone for their patience during this period.

    Update at 4pm GMT: I've had to bring the server offline briefly to finish the transfer. The server was so saturated with users trying to download that the original transfers had slowed to a crawl (a 1kb/sec crawl). The sooner I can get the second file server up, the better for everyone, so bare with me please.

    News about nexus

    Rage. Pure rage. The two file servers are currently down due to an utterly avoidable situation at my file server provider.

    The down time will last at least 24 hours as all the files have been whiped and need to be synched back to the file servers from the UK servers; something that is prolonged by the slow transfer of the files across the Atlantic.

    As the premium file server is now in the UK it is unaffected, but small files are still served in the US where the servers are down so even premium members will not have access to files less than 2MB in size. Apologies for that.

    There is no issue with uploading files to the server at this time, and your file will be available for download as soon as the file servers come back up.

    They've been failing long before the silly name change. They made a mockery of trying to follow Battlestar Galactica because of their scheduling lunacy. They really seem more interested in wrestling and B-movie creature flicks than actual interesting science fiction.

    The constant stream of HORRBILE sci fi movies makes me wanna hurt someone.
