    Max Payne has always been a PC game for me first. I played the first two on the PC. But apparently the PC version is coming out 2 weeks later but i don't want to wait. Also a friend of mine is getting it on the PS3 and wants to play multiplayer with me but i feel the PC version will be the better version (i'm assuming the graphics will be better).

    Just wanted to see what other people are doing that have to make the choice between the PC version of console.

    I have Max Payne 1 and 2 on both PC and Xbox, but for Max Payne 3 I'll be getting it on console 'cause I don't have a PC to handle the game.

    If I'm ever going to get it, it's going to be the PC version. But that's just me because I don't own a console. And I have free 35 GB of disk pissing me off so I have to take care of that as well.

    I have the PC digital version on Amazon pre-ordered. If Rockstar fucks up the PC version, this will most definately be the last full price PC Rockstar game I'll take a chance on. I played the first two on PC, it just feels dirty playing the third on console.

    While I could run it on my PC with ease, I will most likely get it on 360.

    Console.

    I'd love to see this game on my PC, but a couple friends are getting it on 360 and that's good enough for me.

    I'm gonna get the PC version even though, knowing Rockstar's recent track record, I'm a little worried about the quality of the port or version or whatever they've decided to call it.

    i think the pc version was developed in house along with the console version so it should be pretty good. plus max payne has what seems like a really large following on pc so hopefully they won't fuck it up.

    Probably not gonna get it untill it is discounted on Steam or someting.

    With D3 and Dragon's Dogma coming out, there wont be any time to play much else for me, and im not seeing anything that strikes my fancy in Max payne 3 anyway.

    Lotta PC pirates in this thread. :P I am kidding.

    X360 or PS3, I have not decided yet. Xbox is 2 discs right? If that is indeed correct then PS3, I am kinda tired of multi-disc gaming. :(

    Max Payne 3 is a linear game so the Mass Effect 3 "issue" will probably not happen, but still at this point it's weird that Forza 3 is the only game that got the 2 disc thing right. I don't understand why other devs can't do the same for their games.
