Oblvion !?!?! . . .do not mention the spawn of Satan! . . .I have slight issues with that title . . . But yeah simlutaneous console release and PC release usually means bad things . . . in general. Like horrible interfaces . . .erm see above unmentionable game for that. -S

For you unfortunate types without a 360, yeah that probably is gonna hurt the pc port, but for those of us with a 360 and a HDTV, I cant @#$%#!^ wait for this game. It, along with Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, and a couple others have been on my radar for some time.

Your aware right, that the game is being developed for the ding ding XBOX360, and the pc version is just a port right? Oh gee, why would the interface work better on the 360. Here's a quarter, buy yourself a clue, and talk to me when you understand development a bit better. Interfaces work better on the system they are designed for. Its really simple. I could list hundreds of examples here, like unreal tournament designed for pc, with a shitty interface and control scheme after it was wedged as a port to the ps2. Or Quake4.
As to what is so nice about playing it on 360, how about high definintion on a 57 inch widescreen with stereo surround sound for a start? Or I suppose I could sit in my office chair, which while confortable, cant hold a candle to my couch.

The cost of an xbox 360 is insignificant next to the cost a pc that can play the new games would cost you. Maybe 1/3 the price. and funny how no one addresses the fact that pc version is a PORT of the 360 version. This game is being developed for the Xbox 360 and optimized for that system.
Also, if you didnt play Gears of War you are really missing out a great gaming experience.

Yeah Gears of War is quite a showcase of XBOX. I perfer PC games for the interface, expecially when it comes to RPG's. But wow, if I want an action game. Nothing beats the xbox360 and playing a FPS. Yes they are fun on the PC, but the THX sound (Proper equipment required) the gameing with others in the same room as you (Without a crazy setup required for a LAN) absolutly drive the experience.
This is also the reason I own a Wii. If you don't think of it as a gaming platform and more of a party platform. It's insane. I'll commonly have my 60 year old dad playing with a 12 year old and they are both having a blast. (And they both are not gamers.)

Well if you had been paying attention to the game you would have known, maybe do some research before arguing. It says it all over the previews of the game, which I first read about and watched trailers oh about 6 months ago.
As for worthy games on the 360, tomb raider, THPS, GoW, Rainbow 6 Vegas, Need for Speed, and Xbox Live have already made it well worth its purchase price.

Sounds like it's going to be another Deus Ex 2 (ie. watered down console crap that's supposed to be the successor of a bitching pc rpg.)
