I was on the fence between pc version and console version as well. The store decided for me, pc version was sold out. I don't regret it after my experience with The witcher 2. I did finally get it to work on my big screen tv, however hmdi from my pc is limited to stereo and on top of that the dialogue sound regularly kept crapping out leaving just the environmental sounds. My 360 controller is not compatible with my pc, so I still ended up with keyboard and mouse on my lap. Plus I had some horrible slow down in certain areas making it very difficult to fight. Deus Ex was only playable on my pc with v-sync turned of, resulting is some horrendous screen tearing.

It might not look as good on console (why bother with shadows if you make them look that poor), but the whole experience is a lot smoother with proper surround sound. The uncompressed 5.1 sound is excellent on the ps3. The only thing I miss is being able to make screenshots.

Of course if I could somehow convince my wife it's a good idea to spend a 1000 bucks on a new gaming pc then I would get it on pc in a heart beat. Any tips?

You don't need a very powerful PC to run Skyrim easily. Could probably get a PC for 500 dollars and run everything on high with close to 60 fps

Also, don't forget about the mods with the PC version. Are you sure the PS3 sound is uncompressed? Isn't the game disk just as large (small) as the PC/360 versions?

Don't forget about tax and other little things that all add up.

The dialogue doesn't sound uncompressed, but the music and sound effects are not compressed after mixing on the way to the amp. It makes a difference. The install is a little bigger on ps3 (4.3) then 360 (3.8) but that could just as well be the installer unpacking some of the data.
