before i get flamedlet me explain the situation, as im sure im not the only one...
I am a avid gamer... used to be a dyed in the wool PC-only gamer, but over the years have lost many a days to my 360...
This used to be OK, as there were games that came out on the pc, and most big games were console exclusive.
But now, with the pc "back in the running" so to speak with many more high profile cross-platform releases it raises a question of which platform to buy for.
Now i guess it comes down to the type of game.. FPS it has to be PC every time for mouse/keyboard.. but having invested quite a bit into home cinema, big telly, HD surround sound etc im beginning to appreciate "the bigger picture" with better sound quality and more consistant framerate etc..
Which leads me to the problem... Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2. both are multiplatform... i suppose they are FPS games, but not as "high-action" as say BC2 or MW2..
Normally id go for the PC release every time, but im having thoughts as to plumping for the xbox releases, solely to take advantage of the extra AV hardware i have the xbox running through.. Bioshock in particular i would assume that surround sound will add a large extra dimension to the game then playing it on a 22" monitor with tinny stereo sound.
Does anyone else have the same prediciment?
(and before anyone says hook PC up to tv/av system, i have thought about that but dont fancy shelling out to replace my 8800gt to cope with 1080p)
Cheers

Although if I build another gaming PC I will no doubt start getting them for the PC again. The machine I have now (in the system specs under the avatar) has to last a minimum of another 2 years.
