Battlefield 3
Game » consists of 15 releases. Released Oct 25, 2011
Battlefield 3 is DICE's third numerical installment in the Battlefield franchise. It features a single player and co-operative campaign, as well as an extensive multiplayer component.
So, who's buying on console?
all my friends are getting it on xbox..even my pc friends lol..seems silly to not go xbox after hearing that
I agree PC version is superior version and I already have everything set up for my PC on my TV as a prefer playing games on a television but will be getting 360 version for 2 reasons
1. All my friends are getting the 360 version and being social-able is more important than being IMBA by myself
2. Even if none of my friends were getting BF3 and got pc version and played it on my TV, it would make multiplayer unplayable for me, taking on keyboard and mouse players with a controller isn't going to be very fun, ie if you wanna play multiplayer games with a controller get a console version,
Yep 360, not going to bother with PC cause it would require tons of work on my part to make it look close to how it does for the console, sigh I really should get a new gaming PC.

Lets look at the OP:

- couch? check!
- TV? check!
- decent PC? :

This seems like the best alternative possible.
I WAS going to get it on PC. I have a respectable computer, and would love to be one of the 64 players in a conquest match, but everything I've heard about Origin has completely turned me off to the idea.
One of my co-workers installed it with the intention of pre-ordering Battlefield 3. While it was scanning his hard drive for "non-personally identifiable" information (that they can sell to 3rd parties as they see fit - something every BF3 PC player has allowed them to do...), it came across his encrypted files and couldn't leave them well enough alone, apparently, because he later found they had a file size of 0 bytes - wiped clean.
Also, the fact that they can just get rid of your account after two years of inactivity really bothers me. I mean, I understand that 2 years is a long time, but this just gives me another reason to fear an all-digital future.
The only way I'd get this game on PC is if I build a PC strictly for Origin games... which isn't going to happen unless it becomes economically viable in the future, somehow. Either way, I'm probably going to start reading ToSs now.
I'll deal with 24 player matches and less-impressive-but-still-eye-burstingly-good graphics to keep my digital dignity. PS3 for me.
I'm getting it on PS3, because I can't afford a new rig for the Pc version, and my current PC wont run it better than consoles will.
For now, I will buy the Xbox 360 version. When I can finally afford a good gaming PC, I will buy the game for it.
Player count aside, Battlefield 3 will probably run better on the 360 than my mediocre PC and I have already made plans with XBL friends, so I will be getting it on that platform. Also, I like Xbox 360 achievements.
I'll be playing this and Skyrim on the Xbox 360, as long as there is nothing intrinsically debilitating.
