Hmm,this is my opinion.I owned both gaming rig and PS3.

PC - A very good platform because u can tune the settings,apply graphic mod or game mod and it offers mouse and keyboard feature (which consoles dont) Secondly,it has the best graphics among all the consoles (but u will need good hardwares for it) and if u like piracy,pc is definitely for u.All you need is to spend like 3-4 times to wat a console cost and u r good to go.U can last like 2-3 years and if u willing to drop down the settings and lower the resolutions,then u can go further a bit more.Finally,other than gaming u can use ur PC for other stuffs like social networking,office work and so on.

PS3 - It gives me another type of gameplay which i couldnt find in PC.Games like Metal Gear Solid,Uncharted and God of War really makes thing worth.At first i couldnt adjust myself to play first/third person shooting games using controller but later i found it's fun.U r more like using strategy to run and shoot instead of relying on fast response and accuracy in pc.Then u get to play some very good RPG like Final Fantasy XIII and Star Ocean.Finally,not to mention how good and fun PSN is as well as multiplayer games.

Xbox 360 - I dont own it so cant comment much.Btw,i i like Tales of Vesperia and Halo III

I'm so happy to have my newly bought PS3.Btw,to answer ur questions,since PS4 and Xbox 720 is expected to come out next year (mostly a demo or prototype) so u can get a PC first while waiting for the next gen to come.Else,u do some research and see which platform has the most games or genre u wan to play.
