Fantastic games, but I'd suggest not playing them on PS3. Why? I don't want you to get unnecessarily frustrated at the memory leaks, crashes, bugs and glitches plaguing that platform. Hah. Much better to play them on PC.
Bethesda don't really optimise their games for PlayStation and I've encountered the same problems in most of their releases. Whilst being made by another developer, NV still uses the same engine as Fallout 3 and so it suffers from the exact same problems. On PS3 - only, mind. Still, when you learn that the console has only 512mb RAM and look at the things some developers have done ... yep!
I too hope they bring back Hardcore mode from F: NV, since that was a lot of fun. If I had to suggest one? Fallout: NV Ultimate Edition (it's GotY) but note that it has a LOT of DLC content to wade through.
If you are more concerned with lore and backstory in preparation for Fallout 4, then get Fallout 3 GotY. Easy! Have fun whichever you choose!
