You don't really need a comparison. Just read reviews. Everybody says the PC version > 360 version because of more content and better graphics.

Do many people have the pc version though? I'm thinking of getting it, but if no one plays it online then I might as well just wait until I get a 360.

OF Course PC version is bether,u can see it here on Gamespot,u asked about graphics,PC version have bether graphics,but Gears of War is far from best looking PC game.Unreal Tournament have bether graphics than Gears of War and Crysis is bether than both together.

Anyway,Gears of War got lower score for PC despite its bether game overall,because of long delay,and because when it came out,there were bether games allready,while when this game came for X360,there wasnt bether x360 game so it got bether score.

Keep in mind that 8 scored PC game > 8 scored Wii game

also, 8 scored pc game > 8 scored any other console game :P

Sometimes read scoring criteria

7 scored PC game > 10 scored atari game :P

I think u get the point

i have both pc and x360 version. PC version is better then x360 version, because pc has better graphics, extra content, keyboard and mouse. However the pc version is buggy at times.

Chances are, since it's out on 2 platforms, every review will have some sort of comparison of the two systems, even though the differences have clearly been stated in this thread by the players, not the reviewers. Players opinions>Reviewer's

I also agree that the PC version is much better than the 360, in many ways. However, it takes a decent system to run properly. Low-end systems will have some trouble rendering all the stuff needed (which means more than just 5 minutes of lag).

However, being able to turn and chainsaw someone faster than a 360 player can amuses me. Very much. :D

Cross-platform play would be so awesome. Then those pro 360 players would have a fair match... or more. I wasn't able to check for cross-platform, can someone confirm that for me?

You have no clue what your talking about. Gears textures are alot better then UT3 and the color/gamma is better as well. Crysis dont even count because you cant even run it at good speeds compare to Gears yet Crysis doesnt even make Gears look like a bad game at all. The only downfall to Gears is the constant crashing and overload on system ram usage. Overall Gears is one of the best looking titles on PC platform that has beauty and speed.8)

If you get it for PC, you run the risk of not being able to run it very well (if at all). EPIC has had terrible support for the PC version of this game. The only real advantage over 360 is the better textures, AAx4, and higher resolution. Chances are you don't have a PC that can run the extra AA or the higher resolution, but it doesn't look bad on 1280x1024.

Epic had terrible support? The real advantage over 360 is framerate, color and Eax 5.0 audio which is astounding if you configure the files right. Once you hit the high resolutions you really dont need AA bud.

EPIC hasn't released one patch for the game so far (not to mention they don't answer any questions on their own forums). I've seen about 100+posts on the forums about how this game doesn't run well (runs fine for me except for a little stuttering). I used OR, by the way, so I didn't mean high resolution AND AAx4. Even though, at 1280x1024, it still has a huge difference with the AA on.

Well here's one patch from Epic http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/50113

Actually, once you hit higher resolutions you need AA more, because the higher the resolution, the more the graphic engine's flaws start to show.

That's your opinion.

From my preference and experience on PCs in my home the higher the resolution the better the engine looks. At super high resolutions you really don't need AA for a crisp picture.
