Hey guys. I really want to get BioShock but I want to know if I should get it for PC or 360. I want the best playing experience possible. My system specs are in my signature. Which should I get?

Thanks,

Id get it for the 360. but if you want to game on the go then you will probably see a slideshow. When you have a choice between console or pc then always go for the console when in doubt.

Do you have an HDTV? I really don't think it's worth getting the console version since the resolution is so low. I mean yeah, it's guaranteed to run well for everyone, but with the PC version you can turn features on and off to your liking. If you don't like it you can do a nice overclock of your 8600. The only thing I'm worried about is super high res with your 8600GT. Since it's only DDR2 RAM I don't think you'll be able to play at really high res. You much have to play at 1200x800 (Still better than SDTV). Some people say this creates ghosting effects. But When I play games below my native res it's fine. It's just desktop applications that suffer. So yeah, I vote Xbox 360 if you have HDTV but if you don't, I say go with the PC version.

I do have an HDTV. If I upgrade my ram to 4GB would it help? And how hard is it to overclock a vid card... I'll be worried that I'd damage it.

Thanks,

Well if you get it for PC then you have a chance to try out the DX10 features in Bioshock. I think your 8600M GT should at least run it very well on medium settings...

I'm starting to regret getting the high rest screen... lol.

Thanks everyone for answering,

high res is usually used in general work. not gaming. usually.

[Sprintguy1376]

You can bring the resolution down in the games, don't worry. It only looks bad when the desktop isn't using native resolution. Game developers work hard to make the games work on non-native resolutions too.

You should get Bioshock for the PC60.
