Saying you are boned to own the 360 version is way inaccurate. It seems to me PC gamers are jumping at the chance, and this is it, to trash a console version of a title, and their arguments against the console versions are extremely weak. The gameplay in the console version is equal to that of the pc's. The UI is different, but I can do everything using the radial wheel that a pc user can do using a taskbar, and in fact my screen isn't cluttered with that horizontal thing streaked across the bottom of my screen and the radial wheel has a limitless number of slots because it stacks. In fact I like it a lot better than the taskbar. Sure PC users have isometric view, but at least the console users have something I'd rather have and thats stability. Game runs flawlessly and as smooth as a baby's arse whereas PC users face bugs her or there causing crashing, lockups, stuttering, etc.....not to mention the intrinsic lack of optimization because of the sheer heterogeneity of computer hardware in peoples boxes. Graphics are just a tad less than the pc version and sure the textures aren't there but neither are the textures in the pc versions. The game was initially developed before mass effect 1 and the graphics on all fronts are incredibly outdated.
Sure the pc users have access to user created mods etc... but in all seriousness, most of which are complete crap. There will be plenty of "quality" dlc for consoles in the future.
I've played both the pc and the 360 and the differences i see are fairly insignificant.
Very well writen post.

Good point, and I will add that I also experience hook-ups, endless loops and insane load times with my quad core...however, you are forgetting one thing that will make up for all these flaws...."User generated Mods".....one word...
Oblivion. Thats game is literally a different game on PC. I owned the PS3 version and finished it 3 timeswith three different classes...no patches, DLC or content ever came out for it. Xbox 360 tried to release a DLC with only about 5 mods earlier this year for the Orrery, Wizards tower, and some others (mods that were created over 2years ago).
When I finished oblivion on my ps3, that was it, I ran around completing all the side quests and I was done. I bought the game for PC just recently and I almost cried..theres sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much user generated content for the game. That kind of stuff adds significantly to the replay value. I mean take a look at the projects created on this site alone...people have some interesting stuff already planned for this game in the first 2 weeks...
Take my advice and get a PC....its worth it
