You could wait on the PS3, but how long do you plan on waiting? Myself I am getting one but not till around this time next year. Plus not too much game wise has been shown even with the launch just under 2 months away. I would how off on it untill more is known and shown.
Actually I would not say 360 for sure for you. I play my 360 and PC both equally so I would not want to show bias.
I guess it all comes down to money. How much are you willing to spend?
You can upgrade your PC, but how much of an upgrade do you want to go? Some good stuff on the horizon for next year on the PC. Do you want to be able to play them at a certain decent level?
With the 360 you do get alot of games that will never be on a PC wheras a good majority of PC games eventually make it on to consoles. Though of course if you want to get into the mod side of games I would always go for the PC version.
You also have some added costs to the 360. If you want to play a retail game online then you will nee to subscribe to Xbox Gold. Want certain things on the marketplace? While there are a bunch of free stuff there is alot of what they call microtransactions. Stuff ranging from like $1.50 all the way to $15. In order to buy stuff on the marketplace you need points. You can buy cards in various stores. Last I looked 1600 points cost $20. These get tied into your account once you enter the code. You can also purchase points through the marketplace via your debit/credit card.
Also most new third party games on the 360 will hit you up for $59.99 the rest $49.99. There are a few recently that have been knocked down to $40 including a bunch of stuff that came out around last years launch.
I enjoy how much Xbox Live is connected through each game and the general service itself. A few times I would be playing one game and Quick another, but we were in a private chat seemlessly. The whole service flows pretty smoothly.
To me personally aside from a good assorment of games on both platforms (PC, 360) money is what it is going to come down to.
