11 years after its release, Sony has finally stopped shipping the PlayStation 3 to retailers in Japan. We all knew this day was coming, with the country ceasing production on the 500 GB standard model in December last year. Now, however, a recent update on PlayStation Japan's website suggests that the final lingering units have all been shipped. For those who somehow still haven't bought one, Sony's long-standing game machine is still being produced in other parts of the world.
Selling over 70 million units in just seven years, the PlayStation 3 was certainly a console to be reckoned with. Yet, for all its achievements, the long-surviving gaming machine initially made a name for itself for all the wrong reasons. With Sony riding high on the PlayStation 2's market-leading sales numbers, its successor launched at the eye-watering price of $499 -- and consumers weren't too happy about it. Luckily for Sony, publishers stuck with the pricey console, and exclusive games like Uncharted, Heavy Rain, The Last Of Us and Metal Gear Solid 4 helped to right the course of Sony's initially water-riddled ship.

Thanks a lot for the list of useful mods, exactly the sort of stuff i'd be looking for. Will definitely start checking them out.
I have not played the original Fallout, although I have watched some of MATN's play through on YouTube, don't think I have the patience for it. If i'd have known about it closer to it's release, would have been all over it.
FO:NV with the DLC is one of my favorite games ever, even with all it's faults. I'm one of those people who was extremely disappointed with the lack of RP elements in FO4, even with the big step forward in combat mechanics and the graphics. I've put barely 30 hours into it, and I just don't care. There is a lot to appreciate all the improvements they made, but at the cost of gutting role playing it wasn't worth it at all. Load an existing or start a new game of NV now and can be quite happy for a few hours trying a different play style... Loading up my current game of FO4 and get bored within an hour... shoot and loot, shoot and loot, shoot and loot... I miss doing pacifist runs and speech options that made a difference beyond caps...
