Hi all. I have the choice to get Skyrim on Xbox 360 or pc. I'm still undecided and considering which to play it on. My experiences with Oblivion on Xbox was annoying at first but it improved with more updates. PC's advantage would be the awesome Mods with no microsoft penalty.

For which of the three (PC, PS3 or Xbox 360) will you be playing Skyrim on?

I've already pre-ordered it for PC. I'm getting it because I recently got my new computer - If I didn't get my new computer yet, I'd probably get it on console. The game's going to have amazing graphics and I want the 'full' experience by playing it on PC. :)

Can't wait for Skyrim
I am the same.. PC or 360.. but the way I see it, it's a clear decision:

PC provides more immersion, it provides modding for after I've finished the game (I have my own rule, I never mod a game until I've fully completed the storyline at least once beforehand lol), as it'll be a single player game it loses nothing on the multi-player side, graphics on PC and loading times tend to be a lot faster for me as I have a gaming rig.. and overall it's just a more enjoyable experience. When it comes to playing the game, you also have more flexibility with controls and button mapping and things like that. :)

Also, apparently people on the consoles won't experience the game's graphics to the full extent - as the console graphics are a little outdated.

Definitely the PC.

While I do have some consoles I mostly play video games on my computer. Especially those that you play from a First Person perspective. I simply prefer the more precise controls for these. And in case of Bethesda games mods are obviously also a big plus. Not to mention the superior graphics ...

Same here. Most of the time I only use my consoles for exclusives such as “Shadow of the Colossus” or Beat ’Em Ups and turn-based RPGs.

You pinpointed exactly what I had in mind. PC is much easier to customize and mod to your own preferences, unlike consoles. And the hardware in consoles supports only directx 9, where as PC supports dx 11. Believe it or not, there's a huge difference between these two dx systems.
