When you've got a choice of different formats for a game (PC, PS3, Xbox), then how do you go about choosing which you buy?

For me, I'm currently looking at picking up Fallout3, but not sure if I should get the PC or Xbox version... I feel like I'd prefer the xbox version, but it's currently about a tenner more than the PC version.
 
cheers for all the inputs and different points of view on why's and wherefores (sp?)...

I'm going to go with the PC on this one I think... my quandry is often made more difficult by the fact that the xbox is linked to a nice 42" plasma and sound setup, but I can't always get access to the TV if there's something she wants to watch ;)
 
I buy pretty much every game I get for the 360, as I very rarely game on my PC any more except for games like Medieval 2 and Footy Manager. I much prefer sitting on a comfy couch playing games on a 42" LCD instead of sitting on a PC chair hunched over a keyboard and mouse.

I agree, the couch is nice :) but agreed with others on the FPS & RTS games re the PC
 
Do you think that the FPS preference comes from whichever style you first get used to?

I have to admit, I've only played Halo3 on the consoles for FPS styles... and find it pretty tricky to track a decent shot, the mouse on a PC feels much more intuitive to me.
