I will be using Fallout: Game Of The Year Edition, so my .INI file will be named differently.
If someone has the normal Fallout 3.INI file, send It to me so I can fix It to work and add to the downloads.

Method 1: Advanced, learning how to do It so you can add your own.
Small Description
Now, you can make your own .ESP files for this game, but this is not showing you how. This is going to be how you add .ESP files to the game, and make It work! So, today we will be adding your Personal Terminal to the game!
Tutorial

Put Fallout 3 on your internal (Might work for external) and you want to FTP into /dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLUS30451-[Fallout 3]/PS3_GAME/USRDIR
Drag the .INI file to your Desktop, Should be the top file. I am using Fallout 3: GOTY so It's "FALLOUT_GOTY.INI" || Normal Fallout 3 I think is "FALLOUT.INI"
Now go into DATA folder "/dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLUS30451-[Fallout 3]/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/DATA" and drag the .ESP file into the DATA folder, in our case drag PERSONALTERMINAL.ESP file into DATA folder
Right click the .INI file you dragged to your Desktop and edit the file, ctrl + f (Search) for "STestFile", and you will want to put "PERSONALTERMINAL.ESP" next to the equals symobl "=", make sure It's the next STestFile above what's being used.
With Fallout 3: GOTY we have to use STestFile8 because we have to load the DLC content, but with regular Fallout 3 you will probably use STestFile3 since all you have to do is load the Update.ESP and Fallout.ESM

Search for "bInvalidateOlderFiles" and make sure to set It to =0 not =1

Now, directly under you see Archive List, add "ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa," after the equals sign

Now everyone has ";;SArchiveList=" but If you do, also add "ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa," after the equals sign
You must login or register to view this content.
Search for "Search for sEssentialFileCacheListE=" and at the end of that, put "DATA/PERSONALTERMINAL.ESP, ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa"
You must login or register to view this content.
Now save the .INI file you have been editing, then put in back in
"/dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLUS30451-[Fallout 3]/PS3_GAME/USRDIR" and overwrite.
Delete the game update (Game Data Utility) not your save, then load up Fallout 3, (You can install the updates again If you'd like, had to just make It also install the mods), then load Fallout 3, start a new game and It should be in the Dresser in your room (When you first start the game in the vault, when you find out your father left, AKA: Amata wakes you up)

Method 2: Easy, so you can just get the mod.

Download the Terminal Mod file & the .INI file
Put Fallout 3 on your internal (Might work for external) and you want to FTP into /dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLUS30451-[Fallout 3]/PS3_GAME/USRDIR and copy over my .INI file "FALLOUT_GOTY.INI" and overwrite.
Drag the PERSONALTERMINAL.ESP into the DATA folder
"/dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLUS30451-[Fallout 3]/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/DATA"
Delete the game update (Game Data Utility) not your save, then load up Fallout 3, (You can install the updates again If you'd like, had to just make It also install the mods), then load Fallout 3, start a new game and It should be in the Dresser in your room (When you first start the game in the vault, when you find out your father left, AKA: Amata wakes you up)

~Downloads~

Terminal Mod (.ESP File) : You must login or register to view this content.
(For Easy Method) GOTY Fallout | FALLOUT_GOTY.INI : You must login or register to view this content.

I don't find the need for a Virus Scan cause It's just a ESP file that's going into your GAMES folder

Video of the mod, and possibilities you can do with adding .ESP files to ps3
