My PS3, because you play on a great, big TV, it's got good graphics and it's in HD. And, oh, let's not forget surround sound :)

HTPC --> 46" HDTV = true 1080p. :P You should hear what my X-Fi with Dolby Live sounds like coming out of my surround system. :D

For the record, I kind of hate threads like this, since their is always some level of platform superiority going on, with people trying to convince others to change their preferences, and taking offense at the slightest insinuation that another person would enjoy playing on one platform over another. And stuff like that really gets on my nerves. :sleep:

Anyway, since I don't have any sort of allegiance to one specific platform, I'm getting it for the 360, since it'll just be easier for me to play it that way and would be just as fun if I got it for PC or PS3. Down the line, I'll probably buy it on Steam during a good sale for the PC, to take advantage of all the good mods that'll pile up over time.

I do agree with that. Some people can't leave well enough alone. I'm sure some of my responses come off as PC elitist, but they're not. I have a 360 and several other consoles, and I love them. I will chime in when someone says something like, "console because I don't have $5,000 to spend on a PC that will be outdated in 3 months," because that's just FUD and misinformation. Also when someone says, "console because I don't like being forced to be hunched over a computer desk using a keyboard," I'm likely to say something. I'm not touting the superiority of the PC so much as correcting misinformation.

The fact is that the PC experience can be whatever you want it to be...it's extremely versatile. However, you have to be willing to get everything set up yourself, which can take some time. The consoles have the (considerable) advantage of being really easy to use and portable, but they lack the flexibility to use the control scheme you want, mod the game if you want, etc. To be honest, the cost of PC vs. console gaming ends up being close to the same all things considered. It's really a matter of whether you want an easy, effortless experience, or if you're willing to put some effort into customizing your experience. Yes, my PC runs games a lot better than my 360, and I can play in my living room on a TV with a 360 controller, but I had to put some effort and know-how into getting there and the initial investment is higher (although it becomes cheaper after that). When I play a game on my 360 all I do is put in a disc.

PC.
Come to think of it, I built my current PC specifically for Fallout 3. It's getting a bit old nowadays, but being that it'll run F3 on max NV will be sweet.

PS3, mainly because its not the Satan box 360, and I could get it on the PC. My computer might be able to handle it but I hate having to wait about 14 hours for a game to download, and I always prefer a controller and a soft chair over a keyboard and a spinny chair.

I will rent this on my PS3. Once the eventual GOTY addition comes out, I will buy it on PC so I can download any mods that change the parts of the game I didn't like.

Xbox 360, because I don't have a thousand dollars to spend on a high powered PC to run it. And I already have a 360... so... 360 it is.

You can run the game fine on a PC half that price......sure $1000+ gives you luxury items, but for the base game, it can be achieved at about $500-$600 (excluding monitor)

I will play on my PC. Why you ask. For 3 reasons.

1) Mods
2) I don't own a 360 or PS3
3) Mods

i would chose xbox 360 because they have improved a lot over the last 2 years and now they are better than ps3, and wii they got kinect and upgraded a lot everything else really, and for if i want to (have to) use mods i would use pc's but who cares about mods? yea they add cool things but still they ruin the games. so my votes for xbox 360.

PC. It'a an FPS RPG, and like all FPS games, it plays best with a mouse and keyboard.



Plus I like to mod Fallout to hell and back.


And I don't own any consoles.

How you are ignorant? Let me count the ways...

1: The hardware is inherently the same power as it was at launch.

2: Kinect is an interface, and means diddly to FONV.

3: Apparently a lot of people, seeing that the Fallout 3 Mods board is the most popular of the FO3 boards. And my game is hardly "ruined", it is much improved over vanilla Fallout. Sounds like you have a case of sour graqes.

What will you play fallout new vages on and why.


PS3... mainly because well I own three of these machines (a 120G, 80G, and a 40G) I've played on the Xbox 360 I have friends that play on them and I think they are fine machines (now) someday I might add one to my collection and so I can play Forza Motorsport really great racing game (better than any GT game ever made and I have them all).

Fallout New Vagas I can't wait!!!!!!
