Fallout 3 For PS3 Lagging

[ZagZig]

Hello everyone, tonight I was sat down to play Fallout 3 on the PS3 with all of the available DLC. The games frames were dropping substantially, to around 10 or 20 FPS at some points. I'm not sure whether or not the DLC is slowing it down, or if it's just the particular mission I was on, as it seemed to have a very far render distance for the map. Either way, it is incredibly difficult to play and even more difficult when entering VATS, as the game sometimes pauses for seconds at a time before allowing you to continue. These freezes are consistent throughout gameplay and I am not sure what to do about it. I have checked hard drive space and made sure all software/games are up to date. There aren't many video settings in Fallout (on console) so unfortunately I cannot simply turn down the resolution, model detail, etc. Anyone have a similar problem or have a possible fix? Thanks in advance! -ZagZig

Not much you can do other than rebuying it on PC, i mean you said it yourself

Yeah, that is what I had assumed. I know the PC versions are much better than console, but owning the game disc and DLCs already made it seem silly. Thank you though.
