Given that I have a bitchin PC and am getting a PS3, there is now officially no reason for me to own a 360 :)

Enjoy your watered-down game that only runs on a few high-tech computers and has a horrible framerate on anything old a few years.

Watered down? Cool that it has finally been revealed for PC, but I want Mass Effect 2 already. >_>

PPA: I have a GeForce 8800GT and an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, both overclocked.  I don't believe I'll have the issues you're talking about; in fact given Bioware's history of PC conversions my money's on it looking better on PC.  Yes a modern PC is expensive and not neccesarily a better option for gaming than the 360, but I'm into performance hardware and overclocking so I'm glad not to have to shell out extra for the console.

BioWare also have a "new MMO" in development, and let's not forget Dragon Age and Sonic Chronicles.  I am a happy bunny.
