I have a PS3 and wish I could send it back to Sony, and get all of the money I paid back, lol.
Soooo yea, I'd say I'd buy it for PC. And wait a year before that happens. But I have Xenoblade Chronicles and Professor Layton to keep me company these days so I'm content to wait for patching, not like I'll miss out on anything.
But seriously Sony, please buy back my PS3

Given the development cycle was based on the 360, the weakest hardware. I'd go with that if you gotta play it ASAP. It may not look as pretty though.
Also I think the lack of updating may have to do with the limits M$ and $ony place on games when it comes to patching and updating. In regards to how many times and how large they can be. Not sure just something I've read. Either way it sounds like a great way to kill your own market, especially once people start hearing about how tight you're pinching your fingers. I just don't think any developer, especially one with such a low amount of published titles at the time, want to put you on their bad side because of the small things that mar an otherwise good product. Returning customers decide whether they make money, not the small percentage they bring in with new installments.
Same goes for titles on XBLA, I believe there's some sort of arbitrary data size cap limit. To go along with the also arbitrary proprietary HDDs they sell for way too much. At least the price of 250 GB is much more manageable than when I used to own one.
Fool me once, shame on... Shame on you. Fool me... you can't get fooled again!
