Because I don't have a 360 I can't possibly have the option of buying Alan Wake on the same day as Heavy Rain releases, unless HR releases on the same day as the PC port of Alan Wake. Alan Wake looks good but if Mass Effect can't convince me to buy a 360 I don't think Alan Wake can.
On the basis that I could only buy the PC port I will have to go with Heavy Rain as the title I will get. I pretty much restrict my PC gaming to RTS and WRPG, everything else (including the rare FPSs I play) belong on console for me. So Alan Wake on PC is out of contention.
I think I'll pick up a cheap 360 once the 720 comes out. Then I'll play the best 360 titles that are single player focussed, story driven games (i.e. not requiring a Gold membership to get the most out of them). At that point Alan Wake (assuming it does turn out to be a great game) will be at the top of my 360 games to buy list. Along with Mass Effect 1 & 2 if they don't get ported to PS3.
So there will probably be a good couple of years between me playing HR and AW.
The day I buy my obsolesent 360 I'll be asking y'all for advice on what other games I should get.
