For your game saves from Fallout 3 to work with Fallout 3 GOTY, make sure your versions match up. If they don't match up (US disc to US disc, UK disc to UK disc, etc) you're going to run into compatibility issues.

We have come up with a fix for the issue relating to saves with the Canadian PS3 version of Fallout 3 Game of the Year. We're currently completing and testing the fix.

I don't have an exact date of when it will be available, but I'll let you know as soon as I do. Thanks for your patience.

For French Canada GOTY (PS3 only):

A new update is available to allow players to use their game saves from Fallout 3 (BLUS-30185) with Fallout 3 GOTY BLUS-30455 .

Some things to note...

If you only have saves from the Fallout 3 (BLUS-30185) on your PS3, when you load Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition (BLUS-30455), your saves will not initially appear in your saved games list.

In order to get them to appear, you'll need to start a new game on the GOTY disc and make a new save. You can do this as soon as you can start moving around during the "Baby Steps" quest. Once you've made a a GOTY save, all of your original BLUS-30185 saves will appear in your saved games list.

If you have already made any save with the GOTY disc, then the old saves should appear immediately after updating, barring any issues with hitting the total displayed saved game limit (130). If you have more than 130 saves between the two releases, you'll need to delete older saves for the newest ones to appear.

Something to note:

Any BLUS-30185 saves made may take a while to load. If your saves are taking a long time to load you might want to resave them and back up or remove the old ones.

Re: users in Canada that have more than 130 saves between the original Fallout 3 release and GOTY from our developers.

To clarify, if the user has a large number of saves that exceeds this limit, the saves will still be on their system, they just won't be able to see them in game. The limitation just affects how many saves are listed in the in-game menus. If they have saves they cannot get to, they'll need to delete some that are in the list.

The title enumerates saves from Newest to Oldest, first GOTY and then Retail saves, as far as I know.

Also, if their save list exceeds this number (either by having copied saves or by somehow having a combined total greater than the limit on both the GOTY and Retail save areas) they won't be able to make any new saves until they've moved/deleted some of the older ones.
