    your system looks good enough to run it maxed out with no AA. It depends on if you like consol FPSs or PC FPSs more.

    I think you would have a better time on the PC then.

    Would you have friends to play with on xbl, or on your pc? 

    Because if you don't care about controls, its all about the multiplayer.

    Your CPU is dragging you down but you should run it fine.

    You should base your decision on how you want to play the game...with a keyboard and mouse, or the DualShock 3. I personally find the DS3 horrible for shooters.

    If you're using a widescreen TV don't even think about getting the PS3 version.  Consoles didn't get a true widescreen, just a cropped and stretched 4:3 ratio.  Everything looks too big and your viewing angle is too small making it seem like your character is a midget in an oversized world.  I'm not playing this game again until it's fixed, and if it doesn't get fixed I'm mailing it back to Ubisoft with a deadly contagion inside.  lazy bastards.
