Any help or advice would be very much appreciated

Umm... if that runs skyrim, buy for pc. if not, then xbox.

Eh. If your computer can handle reccomended, I'd say PC. If not, 360 as that is the console it was ported from.

Mods are the reason I play the game. If I couldn't mod the game, I probably wouldn't buy it at all, honestly. So PC if it is even remotely possible to play on PC.

PC... even without the construction kit we're seeing mods pop up. Once that comes out, there's going to be whole new worlds created.

His computer would obviously handle it good enough

With those specs PC.

Help out Todd Howard.

Get two for each !!

Pc of course.

Your computer is better than mine, so if I can run it on med/high settings you should be able to max it no problem.

PC because not only will you be able to run Skyrim and enjoy it, you'll also be able to add the large plethora of mods that will start appearing, to give you even more long lasting experiences as you search for adventure, fortune and fame!

Even though I am an xbox player I say if your PC can run it, go PC. Just for the mods they get.

Buy it for PC. use a 360 controller for PC to play it though.

I WOULD say PC. But I'm not sure how stable it would be on Bootcamp. Buy both. XD

Nah, Mods to the rescue - not just the UI for the menu will be made better, but there were plenty of mods for Oblivion that simply expanded on the number and functionality of the keys on your keyboard, as well. No controller is going to match up to a keyboard in terms of number of button combinations.

PC>console

PC with xbox controller

Xbox ofc

If you have an XBox you might want to grab it for that and then enjoy yourself with a great game with all the comforts that console gaming affords.

The game is so large that you'll be playing for ages, potentially for multiple times.

I spent over 1000 hours in "Oblivion" on the XBox 360 and I'm still discovering new things.

If I ever reach the point where the game get's stale I can pick up a PC copy for ten dollars and maybe try some MODs.

You ought to be able to do the same with "Skyrim".

Great game and with MODs and patches to come you'll have a solid experience no matter which platform or platforms you select.

If you can run skyrim on it, get it for the pc. There are likely things you will want to fix with mods and you can still use an xbox controller if you want to.

Hmm if you have a friend with it go watch it there dont go by some VIDEO on youtobe or anywhere else. The game on PC looks tons better then XBOX. Far easier to mod

a mac and an xbox..

dear god..

Get it for the PS3!

I got the game on both.
I have a better PC and better video card then you.
I can play skyrim on Ultra Ultra settings and it does look beautiful.

BUT...

The Xbox version looks similar to "high" settings on the PC.
And the controls are streamlined for Xbox.

It is far far far more beautiful on the xbox then I first anticipated after looking at the PC version.

Its all if you want mods or not. The game is massive though, massive.

I went with the Xbox when I play the game and am content with that.
So much better controls in all ways. And it looks almost as good. Draw distance and shadows are worse, the rest are the same.
Not sure how the heck they managed to get this game so good looking on the console, but they did it.

I bought it on 360 because I knew I would have no problems or lag when playing. My computer is not that great. Besides which, on the 360 I can play it on my 42" tv lol.

PC with an Xbox controller. That's how I roll.
