I'm still on the fense if I'm going to get the pc or Xbox version. Sure the pc version has better graphics and maybe less bugs but the Xbox plugs into my 46 in plasma.. what to do what to do...

  Figure out how to plug your PC into your plasma maybe...

  I enjoyed the first one on the Xbox for that very same reason. However, I'm hoping that they fix some of the problems with the Xbox version on the PC. (Like perhaps they may consider finishing the game this time)

    For an RPG I like to be close to the screen, and I think it gives the same effect as sitting in front of a huge ass television. The key figuring out how to sit back and be lazy in your computer chair.

      I'd get the one that has less bugs (PC version) and better graphics (PC version). Plus I don't own an Xbox anyway, nor do I have any desire to own one.

  I've never understood this argument from console players. If you put a lo-rez game on a big-ass screen, does it not simply look four times as chunky? I'll take the 1600x1200 version myself. Hell, my monitor's only a couple of inches smaller than my TV anyway. Plus, I've got a nice ergonomic office chair that can cradle my butt for eight hours at a time, no problem. I can't even sit on my couch for the length of a movie without my legs falling asleep. Ah hell, guess I'm just another old PC curmudgeon grumblin' at the young'uns.

    Yes it's lower rez than a PC screen. But the key is that no office chair matches a nice chair or couch. (In my case a beanbag) Plus after about 10 minutes (If the game is good enough) you dont notice the graphics are inferiour. It's not that big a deal. I dont play a game and every 10 seconds remind myself how much better things look on my monitor than it does on the TV.
