    Xbox 360, I'm a Mac user so no PC gaming for me. I will miss out on mods (my friend always shows them off to me on his computer).

    I own all the platforms it is coming out for. So, I guess I will wait and see where the game is best. If it is pretty universally similar, I will probably go Xbox.

    I don't know what kind of Mac you have, but all I can really say is my five year old Macbook Pro has been and is still a passable gaming machine via Bootcamp.

    PC- I love playing first person games on that system and the modding community is amazing. I had such an amazing time playing Oblivion on my old rig that I want to make some new memories on the rig I just built (specifically for Skyrim.)

    What is this "Bootcamp"?

    I have a new macbook pro and it laggs on everything.

    PC, in about six months, when it's cheaper and patched and fixed.

    I've learned my lesson. I don't buy games at launch.

    If i had a better computer i would buy PC, but since i don't im buying 360, i usually buy 360 over ps3 ( i have both ) because i like the layout and feel of the xbox controller more then the dual shock. but if the ps3 was going to be any different then the 360 ( it isn't ) then i would buy it.

    If my laptop could handle it, I'd buy the PC version. Seeing as how that's not the case, I will be getting it for 360. If the mod community comes up with some awesome stuff, I may pick it up for PC later when I have a more capable machine.

    Either PC or Xbox 360; if I get Xbox, at least I can guarantee I'll have it pretty much forever (the one aspect of digital distribution that always bothers me.) PC version is probably better, though.

    The latest 2011 MBP, it's only got Intel HD 3000 though so I doubt it could play Skyrim.

    I'm skeptical as to how they'll fit that game on a single 7gb disc so I'm taking my chances with the PS3 version. Believe me, I'd get it on PC if I had a quad core processor. The dual core I have just isn't cutting it anymore.
