If you choose Other please specify.
I vote for PC - Windows as my fav game type is FPS and I cannot play these with a controller, mouse and keyboard rule for FPS

PC - Windows for me.
I play games on my Linux machine too, but the best games tend to be developed for windows.

It's been PC/Windows ever since I transferred from PC/DOS, which I transferred to from Amiga back in the early 1990s. Before the Amiga was the good ol' ZX Speccy!
But no. PC/Windows for me.

PC - Windows.
The only thing that bugs me about it is when the big games come out you invariably have to spent money boosting your system to get it to play right. The games are optimised for top-specs. Console versions on the other hand are optimised to the standard hardware so it can be focused around that.
GTA4 is a prime example.

Other. Bed is the best though pretty much any near horizontal platform in a storm.
PC Windows for me though this could be mainly due to never being willing to pay for software. I say never, last one would have been mid 90's I guess. Even this was only because I had a gift voucher that was about to be out of date.

PC 'rules supreme' in games world
The personal computer is king in the world of games, according to a new report by the PC Gaming Alliance.

Get rid of the Bible man s*it and I'll give you a Karma... In general, rather than just editing the above post you understand?

PC. ARMA2 and Operation Flashpoint 2 are designed with the PC in mind, thats if you want to see first class graphics and want to be part of the modding community.

I'm probably gonna get an x-box because the games are cheaper cos they've been around longer than ps3. They have more also. I like the look of that newish game called ASSASSINS CREED.
PC rocks if you have the money to waste. The games depreciate like money down the toilet. And the system requirements keep changing for new games on PC.

Xbox 360 for me. I've always worked on Macs and have Macs at home but they're not well known for their gaming ability.

I love my PC for games like the Total War series but I much prefer my PS3 for controllability and the online gaming.

If you want a console for online gaming I suggest the PS3. You haven't got to worry about the ring of death that the Xbox 360 still suffers with and you don't have to pay to play online
I have played games on the PC and found Battlefield 2 was so addictive that it was either the game or my relationship that gave way lol

PC - apart from when the games are half arsed console ports.
SDK's and the modding community give new life to any moddable pc game,extending its playability for years .
