Well I played the vanilla Fallout 3 on PS3 and then played it with all the DLC, so I'm quite aware of the worst bugs (lagging and freezing).

I've played New Vegas for about 9 hours now (have a newborn at home so playtime is limited) on the Xbox 360 this time.

I haven't had a freeze yet (knocks on wood) or a corrupt saves, I do save often (a habit from Fallout 3 on PS3), only auto-save on sleep. I also take my time in areas looting and just looking around.

Only glitches I've had were: animals and NPC enemies falling into the ground; some out of sync talking and animation (Nash in Primm); using ironsights seems to make your gun move above your head but holstering your gun and switch to third person and back seems to fix it right away (they should patch that soon).

I've finished up a bunch of quests and haven't had a problem entering any towns. I still haven't made it to New Vegas, still in Novac.

I'm really enjoying this game, it is a lot different than Fallout 3, it seems more hostile and I know it was bashed in the reviews that travelling was boring cause of nothing around, but that's what a wasteland should be and it's nice to venture out and not have to always shoot something.

I do hope Bethesda/Obsidian keep patching this game and not drop it so fast like Bethesda did with Fallout 3.

Well in a nutshell, I haven't had many issues, and it's a lot of fun so far.

P.S. Here's my technical info: Xbox 360 Slim (250HD) with the game installed on harddrive and the classic pack DLC installed.

hehehe Are you kidding. My cheap out of date toy plays it very very slightly better than your cheap out of date toy..... Come on man get a life.

Get a PC instead and play anything you like without MS monitoring your internet usage, gaming and everything. Plus we get to mod games as much as we like for free.

So you will still be stuck with crap console textures while we are playing using 4096x4096 textures and enjoying the unlimited content from good modders.

Personally I stopped playing xbox and got a PC due to oblivion. After seeing it on my mates PC I justified the investment to myself. But LIVE was enough reason alone once I found out how my personal date was being used. If I had to have a console I would choose the lesser of 2 evils and get a PS3. But right now I am fortunate enough to be able to afford a decent gaming PC. I wouldnt compare a PS3 to an Xbox. Its not a fair comparison. Sony arent anyones best friend but they have not done the same degree of harm to innovation in the gaming industry as MS..

Just my opinion... hey you started it. lol.

Although I wouldn't have been quite as rude about it as Dethstar, I agree with him. There is really no reason you should buy a PS3 or a 360 when you could buy or upgrade a PC. Sure, it costs a bit more, but you get more out of it and when your hardware is out of date, you can just buy new parts instead of a new machine, like you have to do with consoles.

I've also experienced way less bugs in NV than I did with Fallout 3 GOTY. I'm well into double figures on hours played and two radscorpions have fallen through the floor, apart from that it's been smooth sailing and I'm delighted. I had to save diligently in Fallout 3 as the crashes came at frustratingly regular intervals.

I don't think the environment is as hostile as the capital wasteland and the game, in my opinion, is more enjoyable for it. I flat out refuse to fast travel when people have made the effort to create an interesting sandbox for me to play in, but I was forced to on occassion in Fallout 3 because of the sheer volume of enemies soon became tiresome.

I've played both of the new Fallout games on 360 because I can't afford to keep upgrading a gaming PC. I couldn't give two hoots what information Microsoft do or don't want from me, but whatever, fight the power etc...

console ￡200 - ￡300 in comparison to a PC that is able to play fallout to a reasonable standard is ￡500 - ￡600 if you shop arround.

Anyways who cares its all the same game.

Anyway my experiance has not been as smooth.

Mojave outpost, lets just say if I try trading game crashes. Very annoying when you have you and two companions loden with random object to sell. Grrrrrrr

Once I passed that bit though haven had much problems so far.

Oh is the brought cards from traders broken as they just sit in the inventory rather then adding to caravan deck. Or are they suposed to do that till you have all 54 cards( 52 + 2 jokers)

Yeah! Let Valve do it instead. /facetiousness.

I'm trying to decide whether to buy my friend a copy for his PS3, or lend him my 360 and get it for that. (We live in the same house. So it wont go far. I live just upstairs.)

Wow I didn't want this to be PC vs Xbox vs PS3. I was just saying what my experience is on the Xbox 360 so far. I never played Oblivion or Fallout 3 on another platform other than PS3. So Fallout 3 on PS3 is my only comparison to base how the game is running.

This was not to be a console/PC war or really devoted fan whining.

rofl, it will always turn out that way.

Wooden stick FTW
