Does the PS3 version still have problems?

Back when the game first came out and borrowed from my friend on the 360 enjoyed and beat it. I am considering getting it on the PS3 now but Im wondering if the PS3 version still have that problem where it freezes every time a friend logs on and off.

While I can't answer that particular question because I have like, 2 PSN friends, I recently bought the GotY Edition for the PS3, aaaaand I'm only level 10, and have experienced 5 game crashes, and an auto save that once loaded, didn't allow a cinematic to trigger, leaving me to replay about an hours worth of game.   The frame rate is also bad, so I ended up torrenting the PC GotY edition, because If I'm spending 70$ on a game, I want it to at least be an enjoyable experience. (so much nicer on my PC... even though it's like 4 years old?)
 
Besides those major glitches, I've noticed a handful of graphical glitches.  When I had it for the 360 when it first came out, I never had the game crash on me. So if you can, I'd suggest 360 or PC.

Did they fixed all the buggy as hell DLC? The every 10 min crashes for Point Look out? The slow downs in OA? The issue where the goo piles never dissapear and eat up more and more of your hard drive space? 
 
As for the signing out and in thing. That was a huge  thing when the game first launched. Since a article talking about it was removed a week before release. Then put back up.

You can go a game without a single crash, and others where it crashes a bunch. Just the nature of the fallout beast.

@cancerdancer: so im guessing the crashing problem is prevalent within all the versions?

@iiNF3RNo: Yea, it's no secret, both PS3 and exbawks both have some major quirks. Just be sure to save often. As annoyed as I got with the crashes, I still got every single trophy in the game.

Man every version of the game has a plethora of problems, but it's still great.

PS3 version was screwed over by Beth. Took them ever to put in trophies. Forever to put out a patch. And when the DLC issues arised they never did anything.
