PC, Xbox 360 or PS3?

[Chaldfont]

I came back here to check on this thread after pretty much deciding not to buy anything. Recently, though, my company announced a huge bonus this year--not enough for a nice gaming PC, but I might be able to get a console. I'm still leaning Xbox360 because I want to play Halo 2 and 3, Bioshock and Mass Effect.

The PC bit might come back into play too, my friend just offered me his 2-year old rig.

Sweet.

All 3 if possible. But if I had to choose... PC hands down.

And if what you love are certain kinds of games that work better on the PC (mostly MMOs and RTSs), then that's what you've got to choose. But if it's not (and I'm mostly an RPG guy, with the occasional sports game thrown in), I really prefer the console route, mostly because if you don't have to worry about keeping your video card up to gaming standards, it's much easier to use a laptop or small form-factor PC as your normal PC.

I've been stalling on picking up a 360. Even though I'd really like to get one, can afford it easily, and already have an HDTV, I want an Elite and don't want to pay $450 for it.
