The numbers after the first two don't matter as much; my PS3 version is 1.8.183.0.7, while I'm using 1.8.151.0.7 on the PC. Hopefully when 1.9 is released on PS3, that'll solve a lot of people's problems with the process.

*That includes all DLC - if you have Dragonborn on PS3, you need to have it on your PC version as well, and so on with all 3 DLC available.
