    As the title says...

    EDIT: As expected, it seems a lot of people will be playing on the PC simply because of increased performance and those that aren't either don't have a competent PC or have most of their friends buying the 360/PS3 version. Wouldn't it be nice if there was cross-platform play?

    EDIT 2: I just pre-ordered it for PC on Green Man Gaming for $40.00.

    I haven't decided yet. I don't want to spend $40-60 renewing my Gold subscription, but I hate the network disconnects that occur on my PS3 along with the fact that all four of my PS3 friends don't play Borderlands.

    I'm probably going to end up buying it for the Xbox and the PC. Xbox so I can play with a couple of friends, PC so I can play it with awesome graphics and my brother.

    I'm not going to be playing it at launch unless lady luck smiles down upon me, but when I do play it I plan to do so on a halfway decent gaming PC. My laptop can somehow run the first one at lowass settings, but I seriously doubt it will scratch 20 FPS on the second one.

    And I'll be playing it all by me lonesome, just like I did the first one. No need to put other bothersome peope in it.

    Now that I recall, there were serious frame rate problems with the 360 version of the first game...Can anyone testify to the PC or PS3 versions?

    I know Gearbox did the cutesy PC love letter and all, but I'll still wait and see if it works as promised. I'm done binding FOV settings to the F-keys.

    The PC version, though a direct port from consoles, was fine for the most part (excluding the terrible menus...), but the shadows could noticeably bring the performance down. But apart from that, it's Unreal Engine 3, so you more or less know what you can expect from it if you've played other UE3 games.

    PC and ps3 because, well, those are the ones I own. If I had a 360 I'd buy a 3rd copy for that too.

    Im in the same boat. I play mostly on 360 just because of my friends. If they all had decent gaming PCs, I would make that jump without even thinking.

    Similar, though I'll buy it on PC to play online with my mates, and 360 to play split screen with my wife.

    Split screen is still in there, right?

    Dunno. I don't have a gaming PC, but I don't know if I'll play on PS3 or 360. I played the first one 360, but I don't pay for Xbox Live. I guess it depends on if one of those two versions is better than the other.

    Probably PS3.  I can get a discount through Amazon though if I get it digitally, so I'm not really sure yet.
