Fallout 3 - PC or PS3 version better?

I'm planning on getting Fallout 3 at some point, but I'm wondering which platform it would be better on?

My PC is spec'd for gaming, so that won't be an issue.

SO i'm wondering if the interface is more orientated to console gaming, if there's gonna be a ton of mod's on the PC like there was for oblivion, and which one runs better graphicallly.

Price wise I can get PC for £25 or PS3 for £37,so that's a factor too. just any opinions.

p.s before anyone even opens there mouths I have a 360, but its on its last legs, I had to borrow a different 360 to finish playing Fable 2, So I'm not gonna buy any new games for it in case they don't work too.

    The PC version is better. The game was meant for it.

    Also PC games are always much cheaper.

    And something about PCs make it more addicting...

    Absolutely the PC version. The interface was basically designed for the PC and if your computer is spec'd for gaming, the graphics will be brilliant. Just make sure you have a graphics card that's at least 256 MB and is fairly up to date. If you've never played a Fallout game before, I really recommend either Fallout II or Fallout Tactics, both for the PC as well. They might seem a bit graphically primitive if you're used to a lot of contemporary stuff, but they're really deep and rich.

    The PC version will always be better. its just eaier to make. And as long as your computer is upgraded with the latest hardware (which requires LOTS of money. one of the reasons i prefer consoles) it will be amazing.

    pc versions will always be better. Honetsly, if it didnt cost so much to upgrade (sometimes over a thoudand bucks) i think it would win the console wars by a long shot

    haven't played fallout but if it were up to me i'd get it on the PS3 just cos of the controller and my HDTV, unless of course you can hook your computer up to your TV.
