rjspring: One reason I prefer console gaming for modern games, don't worry about BS DRM or having to upgrade my hardware every other month to get the best graphics the game can run.
The Steam version of Fallout 3 has no DRM that I'm aware of, at least if you run the .exe directly. And the launcher only seems to have Steam DRM.
As for upgrading, PC games have been stagnating for years because they're just ports from consoles with far, far less powerful hardware. There are probably only a handful of games on the market that can stress a high-end PC these days because it's about a bazillion times more powerful than the consoles most games were designed for.
Heck, my laptop plays any game I've bought in recent years with high to maximum graphics settings and the GPU is only twice as fast as the one I bought in 2005 for my old desktop machine (and used until 2008).
Not to mention that talking about not having to worry about DRM on consoles is amusing when the Playstation network is down now and for the forseeable future.
