Fallout 3 will see simultaneous PC, XBox 360, PS3 release
Yesterday (February 18, 2008), Fallout 3‘s executive producer, Todd Howard, assured both Joystiq and anxious Playstation 3 owners that the PC, XBox 360 and PS3 versions of the game will all ship at exactly the same time. Bethesda’s previous RPG, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, debuted simultaneously only for the PC and 360 in March 2006, leaving PS3 owners to wait an entire year for their port to hit stores.
