Much anticipated Xbox 360 game Fallout 3 has already appeared on BitTorrent and Usenet file sharing sites, three weeks in advance of its official release. The 6.52GB file requires a modified Xbox 360 to run; currently there’s no sign of the PC or PS3 versions of the title for download. Early figures suggest 2,500 gamers on one BitTorrent portal alone have already downloaded Fallout 3.
The game’s publisher, Bethesda, is yet to comment on the leak, and it’s uncertain where the pre-release version – which was presumably sent out to be tested – came from. DRM protection for the title was already confirmed to be relatively low, possibly at most a CD key and with no active limits on number of installs.
Fallout 3 official release dates are North America on October 28th, Europe and Australia on October 30th, and the UK on October 31st. Read more about the game here.

You will not find a PS3 version being Pirated.
There are so many people that believe that the Xbox can not be hacked. Please. This is proof (again) thatit is happening left and right.
Oh well. Maybe they should stop making or delay xbox 360 to help prevent piracy. That is what they are doing for the Xbox360. Oops. Sorry. I mean PCs.

I’am not sure if there is enough demand for the PS3 version.

All the Xbox 360 needs is a software modification, not a mod chip, you’d have to take apart the 360 and disconnect your dvd drive and connect the 360 to your pc-dvd rom drive… It’s way too complicated for me… But I heard it can be done in 20 minutes for first-timers.
Console piracy is at an even more high, because there aren’t as many games coming out for PC.
Not only this game is released early on p2p… Far Cry 2 is now out, as well as Fable 2. Check on the Pirate Bay. Confirmed legit.
