    The 360 load times aren't bad though, are they?
    
    My main concern is crashing. From what people have said on the Shack both versions crack but I've seen a lot more people complaining about the PC version, especially when FFDShow (which I use) is installed.
    
    I still don't know which version to get. :-| But I'm in no rush as I've got other stuff to finish first.
