Re: PS3 Or PC?
AFAIK it is not released for the PS3, you would have to get the PS2 Vana'diel Collection '08. It is really personal preference - do you prefer using the keyboard, or a controller? A PC is handy for looking up Quest information etc. - would you have your PS3 in a room with a computer, or would it be more prudent to just use your PC for the game?

I don't know if PS3 can improve the graphics of the PS2 version, but if you have a decent PC it would look better on it.

PC > *

(Graphics are best on PC and you can run hi-rez) Just get a good pc, get a PS2 controller w/ usb adapter and call it a day.

Re: PS3 Or PC?
PC gives you more options as you sit and seek for a party. Another reason I prefer PC is because I fall asleep on the couch while sitting and seeking for a party otherwise! LOL If all you are concerned about is using a keyboard for controls on the PC, then do as Zoltar suggested. We all use PC's in the house and have PS2 controllers. It's the best of both worlds.

Re: PS3 Or PC?
Thankyou, thankyou. It really is a gift

Oh, I play on 360 and the the PS3 HDD patch is unavailable in Europe, so I really have no business in here either ^^

Re: PS3 Or PC?
The PS3 will upscale the game and smooth out some of the visuals, but it still won't compare to playing it on a decent PC. It's still the PS2 version of the game. I would certainly recommend the PC version over playing on PS3.
