Should I Get Fallout 3 on PC or Xbox 360?

I'm past the point of deciding whether or not to buy Fallout 3, my problem now is what platform to get it on.

I have a decent gaming PC (it does Crysis on Medium/High without trouble) and an Xbox 360 both of which have their own pros and cons and no matter how much I ponder the question there's never an obvious winner.

Both setups are running 5.1 audio with the Xbox 360 attached to a cheap-ass plasma and the PC using a 4:3 ratio 21" CRT monitor.

PC
Pros

• Finer control with the mouse for aiming and shooting in first person view. That said the game can be played using a non-realtime combat system where this pretty much becomes irrelevant.
• Can play with less chance of the kids walking in during one of those amazing "Crash Mode" death sequences.
• PC edition is $10 cheaper than the Xbox 360 version.
  

Cons

• I only have a 4:3 21" monitor but I am sitting closer to it.
• Moving around in the game is done in the third person (like Oblivion) which sucks dogs balls on a PC.
• No Achievements. :(
  

Xbox 360
Pros

• XBox 360 Achievements! Yes, I'm an Achievement whore...
• Third person movement is much more natural and intuitive with the analog sticks on the controller.

Cons

• Targeting in first person view is far from accurate with a controller but as mentioned above, may not be necessary to play the game.
• Xbox 360 version is $10 more than the PC version.

So which version do you reckon I should get!?!?

For the nerds among us my PC setup is as follows:

Intel Quad Core 6600
4GB RAM
GeForce 8600 GT (needs replacing as it's slowing me down but should run Fallout 3 OK)
64bit Vista Home Premium

GTA IV On PC: Sooner Than You'd Expect

Hot off the press comes this piece of interesting information from Kotaku. I assume the quicker-than-usual PC release is due to the fact that GTA no longer has an exclusivity contract with one particular console to worry about.

Rockstar Games Announces Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC

New York, NY – August 6, 2008 – Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto IV will be arriving on the PC on November 18th and 21st in North America and Europe, respectively.

Your 30" Monitor Sucks

Kotaku has a little story today about a guy who installs computer systems for the US government. Said guy recently set up this behemoth then proceeded to thoroughly "test" it by playing BioShock and World of Warcraft on it.

In case you have the money lying around under your mattress here's what you'll need to get started: 27 HD panels that equate to a display that's 40 feet wide (12.2 meters) and 15 feet high (4.6 meters), with a desktop resolution of 12,600 x 3,150. You'll probably need to get some serious graphics hardware to push that many pixels at once too.
