I'm rather tempted since it seems to be a lot of game for $20.  I'm just wondering how mush i should worry about glitches and other problems, especially since they have had so long to patch it.

how good is your pc?

Point Lookout is almost completely unplayable on the PS3.  Almost.  Save often, and prepare for a lot of slowdown and lock ups when you try it.

Which is a real shame, I think that was probably my favorite downloadable content for Fallout 3.

Beth really fucked over the PS3 users for DLC on that game. 

It's pretty buggy. Stuff will glitch through you and the camera in VATS is insane. Not to mention occasional lock ups. It's the price they paid for making it amazingly open ended..

Definitely.  The DLC is really good, it just becomes a game of endurance after a while though to try and push through without any major glitch or crash from happening and setting you back however far.

In my experience, it was fucked up.  The more you play, the bigger your save files will get and you'll encounter more slowdown and lock-ups, especially when you're out in the Wasteland.  Completely ruined the game for me, which is sad because if it weren't for the tech issues, it would be really good.

Also, if you do get it, make sure to keep more than one save.

Not really. Its the price they paid for using a broke ass engine.

Agreed but there aren't many engines that do what Gamebryo's did. Not saying that's a good thing...

@KaosAngel: awful, i have trouble running source engine games.

If you start fresh with the GOTY edition, it is fine - except for the DLC. As stated above, Point Lookout will crash on you at least ten  times. The first encounter you have with Desmond and the crazy raiders will have frame rate issues so bad you'll think your PS3 is dying. If you get past that initial encounter, it gets better. 

Not that bad. And when I saw "not that bad" I mean it only locks up every 5-10 hours. 

Well... at least Point Lookout is short.  I didn't realize this game was so poorly done on the PS3.  Is it worse than New Vegas (which is horrible on, at least, the 360)?
