If you can run it, the PC is preferred. Bethesda's post-release support going off of Morrowind and Oblivion has been pretty bad, and it's been up to the modding communities to patch up a lot of the bugs. That's something only available on PC.jackpackage200 said:
PS3, but I'll probably get the PC version if Bethesda don't follow up on their 'trying to implement user-made content on the consoles' thing.
Hell I'll probably get the PC version eventually anyway.

I wanna play it on my computer because of mods, but I haven't got around to setting up bootcamp on my mac, and Bethesda hasn't made their games mac-friendly yet, so I'll likely get it for my 360.Omnific One said:
If I do get around to setting up bootcamp (and downloading a version of windows 7 that doesn't try to attack everything on my computer the moment I unpack it...) then I'll definitely play it for PC.
PS3. Don't have an Xbox 360 after the Red Ring of Death and I've never been able to play proper games (i.e. Not Popcap games) on PC, as I've never been able to get my head around some of the control schemes. Also, I don't want to care about specs to play a game, I just want to dive in and play. Got my copy already pre-ordered by the way.
360 first, since my PC needs a good upgrade from its current state of scrap metal. After I do beef it up, PC all the way.

*edit: Didn't want this to be a one word answer - but i didn't have a lot to add. The amount of mods that come out for Bethesda titles is insane, and some of the stuff is really amazing (new faces in morrowing, complete balance reworks in Oblivion, etc..). Also, PC gets the game editor, so if i really want something in game, and there's no mod for it, i can actually make it myself.
I'm of the opinion that for the game world to become a better place you play the game on the platform that favours the gametype you are playing, such as FPS's and RTS's are arguably more favourable to play on a PC and Zelda: Phantom hourglass would have sucked on any non touch screen platform.
I played morrowind at my PC, sure bought the expansions but didn't delve that much into mods, and in my opinion Oblivion was utter crap so I barely played it at all.
but in the end I see no real reason why an RPG-style game should not be as good or even better if played on a console(dragon age being the exception because of a more strategic battle style), especially considering the more fight-oriented style of bethesda's RPGs.
so, since Bethesda already announced that they are making Skyrim mainly for the 360 I'm thinking that by principle I should play it on my 360, even though I'm much more of a PC-gamer.
besides, I don't have many games to my xbox so I suppose I might as well get a game I'm interested in so I might use it more.

It's only a year old, but the games I've played on it; batman, magicka, world of warcraft, it's really struggled with, though I'm guessing internet was a major problem for the latter 2.lithium.jelly said:
I would really like to get it on PC but with my PC being a turd with a screen it would be rather difficult to run
