Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help us out with on which platform to choose. To start off I'll list of what I have (just incase there are any questions asking what I have)
  • I have a very good PC (I'll be able to run this game with no problems)
    I have a Xbox 360 with a gold membership
    I have a keyboard for my Xbox 360
    I don't have a pad for my PC (nor a wired 360 pad that I could use)

I know the 360 version costs more to buy (£25 where the PC version is £15) but the cost of the game doesn't matter to me. I'm more concerned about which version is worth getting. Which version do you reckon I should get and WHY?

While I'm here I'll ask a question. Say I had both versions, could I have one account and log in in either version with the same username and password?

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to mention, I've played the beta of the 360 version and yes I did enjoy it.

Help much appreciated

Thanks!

This question is always a very sensitive matter, mainly because both sides have fanboys that will start screaming at each other about how their version is better.

Fanboy BS aside, from a pure enjoyment perspective. In my opinion, you should get the 360 version. There are more poeple online with it over the PC/PS2 version at any given time. Additionally the hacking on the PC/PS2 version is becoming pretty nasty as of late. On the 360 hacking, is virtually non-exstant.

Thanks for you input Sychosis. I hope there will be no fanboy trash talking on here, everyone is entitled to their opinion on which version they prefer and let's start saying people's opinion's are wrong.

Sychosis are you sure there are more people on the 360 version? I've heard it was quite dead, but of course I haven't played the full game and what other people have said could be completely wrong.

Does the game come with a month free trial?

Thanks again

Get the 360 version.

Cheaters run rampant on the PC/PS2 version and Sega could give a rat's ass about the US servers. It ranges from meseta fabrication, taking over your chat abilities, board duping, messing with your room, etc.

Due to the cheating, the economy is crap on PC/PS2. The cost of simple synth mats can be well up into the millions.

Before any PC/PS2 defenders show up, I myself am on the PC.

/edit

Relatively speaking, both versions are dead. US PSU has a very small playerbase compared to something like WoW or even Guild Wars. But I've heard that XB360 usually fills up more universe stars than PC/PS2 so take that for what you will.

Dead? Nah, I sometimes have to go to Universe 4 because 1-3 are usually full.

But it just depends on YOU if you want to get which platform. Don't take anyone's opinions because we have different say in things.

MayLee of course I know it's down to me, but there's no harm is asking for a second opinion.

Naturally I think the 360 version is better; but for the hell of it PC has some advantages too, like the ability to take screenshots, no voice chat issues, and no random disconnects from some "interrupt request" glitch that Sega was supposed to have fixed months ago but never did.

And although 360 does have more concurrent players, PC is the more popular platform among prominent members of this website.

Wait a second. I posted something pro-360 and a PC user agreed with me...and didn't call me a 360 elitist? By the Nine Divines! You sure can tell where the official forums end and intelligence begins...

PC but don't mind me I won't fret much on the cheaters because it's do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
