Fallout 3 is one of only three PS3 games that I own. No other games available at the present time interest me whatsoever. I am looking forward to the DLC.
Even though I've done everything there is to do in this game, I still boot it up on occasion for the sole purpose of collecting Alien Power Cells. I don't actually use the Alien Blaster in my present game, but perhaps I'll decide to utilize the thousands of Alien Power Cells that I've accumulated, while playing through the DLC.

U must had a nasty experience, but i didnt had a single bug experience yet
I had a whole giant bunch of them...
1. Game won't let you start the GOAT test (almost the first "challenge" of the game) - you sit down as directed and it doesn't start. Only fixed by reloading a manually-saved game, not autosave (so if you've let it autosave to there, you have to restart the game from scratch).
2. Characters "flee" (Nuka Cola Challenge girl... Sierra? is particularly bad for this) and won't let you talk to them, making certain tasks impossible to complete without a reload.
3. Numerous game freezes moving from location to location (I found it happened quite a lot when leaving subway stations for the outside world).
4. VATS gives you greater-than-zero % hit chances (I've seen up to 95%) when the shot is obstructed by objects close to the character.
5. Dialogue can include dead characters, even when both you and the character to whom you're speaking know the other guy is dead.
This is by no means a comprehensive list - I forget lots of it just as I forget lots of the game. However, I used "The Vault" as my helping hand through and they list known bugs for everything in the game - objects, people, locations, missions - and there's literally hundreds of them. The PS3 version seems, if anything, to be slightly less buggy than the 360/PC versions...
I recently started playing Fallout 3. It's been sitting on the shelf since release, but I didn't have the time to sit down for long periods and play it. Now that I do, I am enjoying it quite a bit!
I didn't think I would like it, as I very much prefer an Elder Scrolls style fantasy setting in RPGs, however Bethesda have succeeded again (IMO) in creating a really detailed and interesting world to explore.
Yes, there are bugs. Some of them are just unbelievably obvious and make me wonder just what the QA department were doing, but this is sort of the norm for Bethesda's games.
Oblivion had quite a few game breaking bugs and thousands of minor ones. One look at the changelog for the Unofficial Oblivion Patch will prove that. So far the only problem I've had with Fallout 3 is that it once crashed back to the XMB when I fast traveled to a location. Nothing has happened since.
I was glad to hear that the DLC and previous (and I guess future?) patches are coming to PS3. I'm unsure if I will hold off purchasing the DLC and just buy the GoTY edition in October. Depends if it's still classed as the same game in the Trophy Collection and if save games are compatible.

for those who have played Oblivion it's the same story, Bethesda seems to have an issue with this sort of thing. Some of the glitches are so blatant that it seems they surely must not have tested thoroughly enough. That being said however, I played through the game twice without experiencing any of the major glitches and I wasn't even trying to avoid them (for those that can be avoided). I did however have lots of issues with freezing and slowdowns before the patch.

great now the DLC is coming to the ps3 version as well? I had it and sold it after i beat it. I actually really enjoyed the game. The scenery and feeling of exploring the wasteland. Finding stuff, upgrading etc. I enjoyed the overall experience. Was really upset when the xbox version had all the DLC (wish i woulda bought it for 360 instead of ps3) But i sold my copy a long time ago. If only i woulda known. I just did NOT like the ending...not one bit.

I just got Fallout 3 yesterday, and I'm pretty hooked so far. Glad to know there'll be more once I finish this to.

The DLC every get released? I never saw any in the PS store. However, I did notice the trophies got updated. I once had 100% complete and earned a Platinum trophy, but now it's at 51%.

BTW - there is a GOTY edition coming out sometime in "fall" - that has all of the DLC's in...
I'm renting this game at the mo - but will buy the GOTY edition when it's out so that I get all of the DLC'S!
Currently loving the game too - although it is taking up all of my free time!!!

Had an upgrade for this game today - not sure if anything was fixed - but a load of new trophies were added - obviously in connection to the incoming DLC...

EDIT : Sure anyone who cares has already noticed - but Bethesda has released the release dates for the DLC...
FWIW though - I'm pretty sure the GOTY version comes out on the 16th in Blighty as that is what Play think...

It's still only $10. The new gameplay really is kind of cool. More Liberty Prime is always good. And the glitches aren't that bad, it's just frustrating because i don't like having to reset my PS3 manually. But sometimes, if you let the game sit for a bit, it will eventually un-freeze.
