Question Fallout 3 - Game of the Year Edition (PC or 360?)

Yo guys!

As you may already know, Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition came out a little while ago, and includes the game + all the expension packs.

I don't know if I should get it for 360 or PC... I played it a bit on the PC and was cool, but my couch is so much more comfortable

This said, I would like to know if I need a really big HDD on the Xbox to be able to play this ?

Finally, do you think it would be a good purchase ?

Get it on PC, you can always drag your desk over to your couch or vice versa.

good purchase? heck yes. i own the original and want to get the GoTY off Steam when they get it.

as above, you can move the PC to the couch. on PC you get mods, too.

PC for certain

I played it on PC but between the PS3 and 360 get it for the 360 because the PS3 version has some flaws. Just look the the reviews.

if the monitors/tvs are the same resolution, then what difference does the size make unless multiple people are viewing?

Well, for starters, a dev console. With that, you can get to places you wouldn't normally be able to get to(Including noclipping to lost Megaton NPC's and recovering them), fix game glitches(Such as reviving megaton NPC's that have fallen off the catwalks), and yes cheat your way into godmoad heaven if you so desire.


It will also look better, and it will be MUCH easier to free-aim. I tried playing it with a 360 pad on my PC(Which it does support, mind you), and I hated it. Playing freeaim with mouse and keybaord, I've gotten to the point where I don't use VATS anymore.
