Default Thinking of buying a CE for a system I dont have. Inputs?

So I have an xboz 360, and I really want tget Splinter Cell Blacklist Silver Edition. However, the PC version is under $100, and since Im importig it, its not as expensive as buying the 360 version, which is $30 more...

I assume shipping costs will run up to $40 or so.

Have any of you guys done this? I sort of feel uneasy because, well, I dont have a powerful PC, and all of my CEs are for the 360. Its just feels strange to break that trend. I plan on selling the PC disc and buy the zavvi steelbook though.

Any thoughts, experiences?

It all depends on how anal you are with regards to the packaging. Would having a PC branded box bother you when it is amongst your 360 games? It personally bothers me, so I always try to get my games and CEs on the Xbox 360.

It's entirely down to your preference.

If it comes with a slipcover, i dont mind because ill just throw it out. But theres no unboxing video yet. The only unboxing video released is for the paladin edition, and it seems like the system's logo is on the package (no slipcover)

Recently i bought a deus ex collectors edition for the ps3. It comes with a paper flip cover which i threw out. I just replaced the ps3 discs with my 360 discs lol.

It was my first time doing that. I hope it can be done with this one too.. I open my CEs heh...

As Cosmic says, it depends on if a PC labelled box will annoy you or not.

And ahhh, you throw the slipcovers out!? That's madness xx

Having a PC CE amongst my collection wouldn't bother me at all. I just dont buy PC related games, UNLESSSSSS...
The game I wanted ONLY came out on the PC...In your case I would try to shell out the extra for the 360 version vs the PC version...
