    I would go PC for the mod community. Also if you prefer to play with a controller you can always use your xbox controller on the PC if you have a wireless receiver.

    Get it for PC. I'm only getting it for 360, because my PC cannot run anything made after 2007 :(

    If your PC can run it, which it can, you should buy it for the PC.  Better graphics, more control options (keyboard and mouse versus controller), and access to a mod community that will provide a lot of quality content.

    PC, I imagine the control setup will be more comfortable and the mod community will give the game more legs then it would on the Xbox.

    This could just be an odd coincidence and I am not implying that they are reviewed by the same person, but 9.0 for pc version from ign uk 8.4 for 360version from australia

    I play on consoles so I'll be playing it one, but this really seems like a game for the PC.

    If your PC can run then that should be your only real choice. I mean PC was the lead platform and it's the type of game that much more easily played with a mouse and keyboard. Also I see mods being big for this game and you only get that on PC.
