Mouse and keyboard for life unless it's Smash Brothers or Metroid.

Same. Generally PC versions are heaps better - they're cheaper, can be modded, free DLC (vast majority of games at least), support a wider range of control options, better graphics & higher resolutions.

Unless they're also on handheld systems. I get my Tomb Raider and GTA fix on PSP and generally prefer Nintendo's long running IPs on handhelds (except Mario). But that's just me

I agree, if you like tweaking your stuff and is not afraid of technology, PC version would be the best.

I get PS3 games. alll you have to do is put the disk in and away you go. I will get pc games but only simulation games like comand and conquer, Age of empires etc

I choose PC first, mainly for the controls and it's nice that it supports higher settings. I like V-Sync.

But it depends on the type of game.

For games like Ghostbusters, I'm thinking about getting the Wii version and PC version, since they differ from what I understand.

PC for most multiplat FPS's, all RTS and misc games.

PS3 for everything else UNLESS the quality is notably worse than the 360 version. I prefer my whisper quiet PS3 to the jet engine disguised by MS as a gaming console.

Just a little correction
Out of PS3/360 games I'll generally go for 360 since I much prefer the controller and standards present. But on the same hand I could never imagine playing PS3 exclusives on the 360, my LBP hands are forever used to the PS3.
