Do you re-purchase games on PC which you own on console?

I re-bought several when I made the major switch from console to PC back in 2007. Changing from Oblivion on 360 to playing it loaded with mods and maxxed out @ 1680x1050 is one highlight experience that springs to mind :D

Nowadays, I keep a specific minority (sports games and some exclusives is really all) on console and everything else on PC :)

I've repurchased Pro Evo Soccer 6 on PC - purely for MODS and higher resolutions. Didnt buy a console game since though, PC turned out to be just too good:p
 
I've done it a few times, generally when I see them in a Steam sale or something. I've also re-bought games I have retail in Steam sales.

Some games I've bought in every conseivable format I can possibly find because they're that awesome. I must have at least five or six copies of the Secret of Monkey Island. :p
 
Once upon a time i used to occasionally usually because of mods. Now i don't, i've given both the 360 and PS3 away to my nephews and don't plan on bothering with consoles in the next generation of them. The current gen look like **** and the next gen ones are looking more like they're going to be mini-PC's and i refuse to support that... unupgradable hardware with games sold at a premium.
 
There are a few games that I have on the 360 that i've now bought on the PC - FO3, GTA IV and Mass Effect 1 are the main ones I can think of.
I did this as I either wanted mod support, or I wanted to experience the better graphics of the PC version.
 
I mostly buy console exclusives but if they ever appear on PC (which is VERY rare - the last time being Halo 2 and Gears of War) I'll buy it again. I'm eagerly anticipating Dark Souls.
 
When they're cheap enough I may get certain titles... currently waiting for a hard-copy bargain on Crysis2, which I enjoyed on the 360 and want to see the better graphics on the PC version.

Bought Skyrim for both the PC and 360 on release day... until the decent mods started coming out I much preferred playing it on the console, but now my PC play time has far exceeded the 360.
 
Except for exclusives I tend to buy PC first anyway, but there have been a few rebuys, usually during Steam sales and the likes; example Mass Effect 1. PLayed it first time round on the 360, rebought it a few years later on a steam sale for £2.99, and having replayed it, I did prefer it with PC controls.
 
Yes, quite often actually.

Games on PC look better, run better and have more 'tweaking' in terms of over all performance and mods.
 
No. buy them once on the platform that I think I will enjoy it most on. So for example, Fifa, always on console, first person shooters on the PC, GTA on the PS3.
 
might do it for skyrim as the ps3 version sucks... will wait for a really good deal though as im in no rush to play it again.
