PC > Pay a lot now, reap benefits (lower game cost, better visuals, no additional charge for online gaming, upgradability)
PS3 > medium, Pay a decent amount now, still need to suffer the higher cost for games, but you get no additional cost in online services.
Xbox > Low startup cost, pay a lot for games like the PS3, pay a lot for Xbox live over time, pay for wireless if you need it, etc. etc.
Question is, can you front it or do you need to pay for gaming in installments like the Xbox?
