Most likely 360. Maybe I can get a good PC by then though.

Can't agree with you more.

*walks into the local Gamestop. 3 of the 4 walls are dedicated to each of the three major consoles*

Me: Where's the PC games section?
GS Employee: That tiny kiosk in the dark corner over there.

*the tiny Kiosk has 20 games. only one if them is anywhere close to being "new"*

Me: Awww....

Best Buy's better for that. I found a brand new copy of Fallout 2 there, the other day, and they still sell Morrowind.

I'll be getting it for 360 first and then PC. I like to play the game on console then mod the hell out of it. (Started with Morrowind then Oblivion and it is the best route to go)

Another "PC of course" here.

I got started on Morrowind for the Xbox. (About 20 hours.) I loved it so much I bought the PC version and never looked back. (Admittedly, I hated my first play through of Morrowind, I lasted about an hour, but gave it another go a few weeks later and fell in love.)

PC of course. TES and mods go hand in hand.

Buying for PC. I just finished building a new one that should last me a few years without having to upgrade any more.

I'm a couch gamer, so 360 it is for me. I like to kick back with a big TV and a comfy couch (possibly a bed) and play for extended periods of time. Forget my PC's power - my back just can't hold up to the amount of time I'll be spending with Skyrim.

For one, BGS does not "port" their games (well - PS3 version of Oblivion excluded), they develop on each platform simultaneously. The difference being, when you "port", you take a finished title and migrate all of its code to a new platform, making changes so that it will fit - essentially, "shoehorning" it in. That's not at all how BGS handles their titles. Instead, they develop individual code sets on each platform (sharing some assets where needed) so that they can ensure all platforms run as equally as possible. Obviously changes are made to each version so it suits the platform better (UI being a big factor) but overall, there are no "inferior" versions.

Take it from someone who has the ability to play on all available platforms - the only advantage the PC has (albeit a big one) is customization. Which platform you play on has nothing to do with "superiority" of the platform, it comes down to preference. If I want to mod and customize Skyrim to my heart's content, I'll pick it up on Steam. If I want the ability to play from the couch, with a controller in hand and the comfort that I don't have to think about whether or not it will run smoothly with graphics setting X, I'll pick it up for the console. Usually, I do both, because my preferences change based on what I'm in the mood for. But outright stating that one version is naturally inferior just because you don't personally prefer it is spreading misinformation. I prefer playing on console most of the time, but that doesn't mean I think the PC is an inferior platform by any means. See how easy that is?

Not to mention that the console market is huge. Without it, Bethesda wouldn't be able to afford the big budgets they spend on their games nowadays.

My PC won't be able to handle all the awesome in stored. So I'll be getting it for 360.

I'm going to be getting mine for the 360. I'd rather get it on the PC for the mods and what not, but my PC just doesn't have that type of power; I know that we don't know what the specs are going to be for Skyrim but, just an assumption. Plus, I've been playing on consoles since forever!

PC. Mine should be powerful enough to run TES:V as it is, so I don't see why I wouldn't get it on my favourite platform. ;) And, of course, mods. That'll keep the game alive for me forever.

You do know that you can plug your PC into your TV and use a controller other than mouse/keyboard with it don't you? Sorry but when I see people state this reason for going with one platform over another it makes me wonder if they are not aware of all the options! Because in that sense, all platforms are pretty much interchangeable.

Xbox 360(I want to hear it on my Bose surround sound system), and GOTY when it comes out for PC (mods). If it is good, I will have no problem buying it twice.

I will be getting it for PS3, as well as PC.

I primarily only console-game on PS3.

Because in that sense, all platforms are pretty much interchangeable.

I'm perfectly aware of that, but see if you can convince my HP Pavilion Slimline 3600z with a mini power source to fully support my 47inch 1080p HDTV without hiccups. 1920x1080 is not something my PC is capable of without toning down certain graphics settings. ;)

Not to mention, I have friends on Xbox Live I love party-chatting with while gaming. Especially when we're all playing the same game, e.g. Skyrim.

For a game I am going to spend soo much time playing, I want to be laying in bed or relaxing on the couch, so as of now, the 360, as my PC is not up for the task at the time being.

But if the 360 is that limited, I suppose I'd upgrade my PC, or heck, I'll see where my PC is by the end of next year, a few upgrades in mind at the moment.

Though, as it stands, my PC is going to need a lot of love to handle some like TESV.

You and Seti are the only ones who are buying for PS3? Anything wrong with the console, or are people just cheap and go for the Xbox like i did?

And buying it twice? We need more people like you to support our games :goodjob:

Remember the exclusive DLC and construction set? PS3 players don't get either from Bethesda. :(

I might buy it twice to show support, sure, but if I did, I'd buy it twice on the PC and gift it to someone. :P
