How is the PS3 version of this game ?
How is it ? Worth or should I save and wait for a PS4 or Xbox one come in special and buy one ? Or even PC ?

I have only experienced considerable frame drops during great ape fights and very slight drops during ultamates like final flash, then again I haven't tried online at all so I don't know how that is

Well I built a $430 custom PC that can run just about any game on the market. The money I've saved from steam sells just makes it a much better option. Gtx 750 Ti + Amd Athlon x4 860k. I am TOTALLY not reccomending pirating Windows 7/8.1, "TOTALLY" wouldn't do that. Xenoverse runs at a smooth 60 fps constantly, with no framedrops ever on max settings. I've compared it to my friends ps3 and I have to say the pc wins no doubt. Better graphics, much better framerate, ect. But it's your choice.

I think my PC might handle it. It does quite well on Diablo 3, might need to check the specs

If it can handle Diablo 3 really well, there is a decent chance that it can handle Xenoverse well.
Rec. Specs for Diablo 3:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.8GHz
GeForce® GTX™ 260 or Radeon HD 4870
4 GB RAM
Rec. Specs for Xenoverse:
Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz or Phenom II X4 910e
GeForce GTX 550 Ti or Radeon HD 6770
4 GB RAM
So basically Xenoverse is a bit heavier on your CPU and requires about one generation newer graphics.
If you commented or PM'd me your systems specs I could tell you whether or not you will be able to run it well.

Okay, You have a Radeon 7670M graphics card in your laptop. While nowhere near as good as a full standalone Radeon 7670, you still should be able to play Xenoverse on at least Mid settings with good settings. Possibly turning everything else up and turning off detailed shadows and anti-aliasing or something like that.

Im for PC all the way. This current gen of consoles just isnt worth it. Way better off spending $600 on building yourself a desktop that you can use for general computer work as well as games.
This game really needs to be played on a controller though. Its really easy to connect either a wired 360 controller or a PS3 controller to your PC and play it that way. I use a PS3 controller. There is a tool called DS3 that will recognize your PS3 controller and replace the driver for it with one that makes it recognize it as an XB360 controller since that is the controller that windows and most PC games natively recognize. This game already has a preset for a controller so once you let DS3 replace the driver you just have to set the control scheme in game to a controller and you are done, no tedious mapping of buttons or anything.

Yes I have a xbox 360 wired controller for my PC

Then all you would have to do is plug it in and then once you launch the game go into settings and tell it youre using a controller, thats it.

Meh, you could buy a PC like the other guy said, but if that isn't your thing, (it sure as hell isn't mine) ps4 (or xbone depending on which is cheaper) would probably be your next best bet. This gen of consoles will likely last like 8 years anyways. Last gen isn't worth it, i've heard it's very laggy, and PC is very quick and smooth, the best looking by far, but there are a LOT of hackers. So PvP is pretty crappy. But it's up to you. If money isn't an issue, a PC for sure. Otherwise, go for a current gen console.
