Steam: TF2 item bundle, Deus Ex GOTY all at $54.

PC wtf is an 360?

Depends on if you can run it on your PC well and your preference, i am picking it up for PS3 because i don't care about PC gaming and don't have the money or reason to get one, i have a laptop that can run SC2 which is all that matters to em.

I went with PC.

It's cheaper (paid $45 on Steam), has Steam Achievements/Cloud Saves, and 8 TF2 items.

Already have it pre-loaded.

PC wtf is an 360?

I'm getting the 360 version, due to the simple fact that if I am gonna spend 50-60 dollars on a game, I want to be able to play it without worrying if my PC will run it. 
 
Besides, I prefer playing shooters on the Xbox. I hate trying to scramble to find a key when an enemy is giving me a case of terminal lead poisoning.

@Lind_L_Taylor: Your graphics card is quite important to know, but yes, you should be fine if its on par with your other stuff.

PC version is superior - looks much better, mouse and controller, cheaper, HD. No real choice to make.

I think it's a $150 HD Radeon card from a couple years back. I've played Spore, Blood Bowl, Star Trek Online, Champions Online, Dark Spore, Magicka, EVE, bit.triprunner, Braid, Magicka, Portal, & Kotor. Nothing heavy duty, but I think it can play it. NWN 1 & 2. I'd just hate to buy a new PC game off Steam & find out that it doesn't work.

I tried the leaked beta and have a modest rig and it ran at 60FPS maxed out at 1920x1080 no problems - no DX11 stuff of course.

Also, the Ars Technica preview of the PC version pretty much emphatically stated that the PC was the best platform to get it on due to the improvements they made to the UI and such.

PC for Deus Ex.

I'm kinda in the same boat, I'm bouncing between Ps3 version or PC/Steam version. Mind helping me out duders? 
Specs for my PC:
AMD Raedeon HD 6790
4 GB Ram
AMD Athlon II X2 265 Processor 3.30 Ghz

If you don't have a proper setup to play PC comfortably, doesn't matter how good your PC is. I prefer sitting back on a couch, with a controller, on my HDTV, than hunched over 5 inches away from a monitor.

I hook up my PC to the TV every now and again and plugin my controller, but I know thats not the option for everyone.

I'm getting the 360 version (assuming it turns out to be good). Mostly because I don't have a windows machine. If I did have a proper gaming rig I would definitely get it on that, as with most FPS games. 

@Ultramar: You can run it just fine. It didn't appear to as quad-core demanding as things like FrostBite engine games.

PC? Yes. Yes, PC.

The SKIDROW version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution runs great on older hardware (dual core processor, 8800gt, 2gig ram), my dads PC gets over 30fps at 1080p with default graphics settings.  Plugging a 360 controller in makes me realise how awful the 360 version is though.  The shooting feels a little loose and twitchy so a controller feels less accurate and more cumbersome than say, halo.

Getting so tired of this "hunched over a monitor" schtick.  First off my deluxe office chair is comfier than my couch.  Secondly my monitor is 30" and due to how close I sit to it that makes the image about twice as large as my 44" HDTV.

Reread the first sentence. "If you don't have a proper setup to play PC comfortably..."

Not everyone has a giant monitor or extremely comfy office chair. Chances are the majority of people have a couch and HDTV and not the best monitor/office chair, so console gaming for them it is.

I use my PC with my TV exclusively. What's your point?

I played an hour or so of the leaked preview, and I used a gamepad. The game is gorgeous, plays well, and I got to use my controller method of choice. Personal preference (and giant TV) dictates the 360 version for me. All things being equal, it really comes down to whether you prefer a gamepad or KB+M. 

I wonder if a wired 360 controller works with the PC version.

PC with 3D and 360 controller (if the game was indeed built around it)

PC cheaper price and better graphics its a win,win although I still have doubts about this game in general hope it is  great.

360, I think. I don't have a fancy PC as of late, so I've decided just to stick to console games. I might be spontaneous and buy the PS3 version. But I'm assuming they're both the same.

I have to say PC. I'd play it on console if I had to though.

@Lind_L_Taylor said:

Yes it does. The demo switched on the fly (including some major UI cues) from controller to mouse controls based on what last received input. Frankly though, I felt the mouse and keyboard controls worked better than the gamepad controls, even with the snap to cover system in place. Compared to Mass Effect 2, which had poor mouse and keyboard controls and UI and no controller option or Alpha Protocol which is basically unplayable without the gamepad, this is a real delight.

@Edwardryu: Console is Garbage. I guess you are right since PC gaming is outselling console games 100 to 1.

I'm a 360 man my self but I say go with the PC.

Honestly I say PC for a number of reasons but in all honesty the game plays better on a 360 controller than on a mouse and keyboard.

"PC elitism yay lolz!"

"360 like normal people lolz!"

Everybody, do what you like!

The number of white names in this thread are telling of the general distribution of people who are interested in this game.  I say wait for reviews to determine whether the port is good before you worry about specs.  The games you listed, however, are all pretty forgiving to a graphics card.  I'm going to guess based on very limited evidence that your configuration will probably play the game at a level roughly comparable to the console.

I only have a laptop which won't be able to run it so 360 for me.

So my choice is between using it on the PC for the graphics and nostalgia at the expense of forcing my wife to watch TV while I play and using headphones versus having it on the xbox and my of-late more familiar controller with a nicer stereo and where my wife can watch me play or play on the pc.  Damn- hard choice.

Well, I have a 6 year old machine and I can run it (poorly, but it works) so yeah, if you have pretty much any gaming rig from maybe 2008 and onward, I'd say you can run it pretty good.

The 360 version suffers from massive contrast black crush issues as usual.

360 is never the correct answer to this question.

PC all the way.

When playing BFBC1 on PS3 I sat hunched over on the couch pulled closer to the TV.  My face was glued to the TV so I could spot the enemy pixels better.   If you play an online FPS relaxed, lying down on a couch, your KD ratio is bound to suck...

I was comfortably above 2.0 in Black Ops when playing it some time ago. And that's lying on the bed. Played BFBC2 for a few months too and was sporting a 1.7+ there So no it's not bound to suck.  PS: some people also actually play better when relaxed rather then tensed up. For example if I take a large glass of beer before playing AC:B multiplayer I actualy tend to do better on average :P

I guess you're right: You can definitely get large KD ratios relaxed when playing BFBC2: just jump in a helicopter and spam.  I don't remember that kind of abuse in BFBC1.
