Trying to figure out what platform I should get this on? I've got a PS3, Xbox and Steam on my Mac laptop. The PS3 and Xbox are on a huge projector with surround sound, but oftentimes the controls on PC are better (and sometimes the graphics).

But since its a group game I want to be where the people are too.
Borderlands

Borderlands (X360)

Genre/Style: Shooter/First-Person Shooter
Release Date: 20/OCT/09

Do you have a bigger group of friends on one system over another? I haven't heard great things about the PC version from the Gearbox forums. There are some bugs system wide. The PC has alot of online issues right now, the PS3 has a few still, not sure on the 360 Live side.

I feel however most confident that the PC version will actually get patches to fix things. They happen on Xbox and PS3, but it can be weird.

Also the group finding stuff on Xbox and PS3 normally suck compared to what TF2 has on Steam for example

I used to primarily game on the PC, but I got tried of the whole upgrade hardware for each new games and most of my PC gaming buddies stopped gaming a long time ago. I had a PS1 and then PS2 that I would causally play, but I've gotten pretty deep into the PS3 gaming over the past year and a half.

I agree that it depends on what the majority of your friends have since this is a co-op driven game. Co-op is damn near a requirement to get the most out of the game. I also concur that the PC version being buggy would prevent me from getting it now, but I agree that those bugs will be fixed eventually. I have read in the forums where a lot people are saying that the PC version feels like a bad console port, but you what know until you try I guess.

I plan to buy the PC version if they open the game for modding otherwise I'll stay on the xbox for the easy access co-op

I hear the Ps3 has a lot of online frame rate problem, but those will be patched soon. I think maybe PC is the best choice, so long as you think your rig could handle it.

Personally I haven't been able to so much as install the PC version due to various issues during the process, and I'm not the only one either. However, I suspect I'm in a very small minority and you probably have pretty decent chances of never running into this issue. I'm sure Steam would allow for a refund if you have a problem anyways.
