LEGO Batman 2 is on sale for the 360 for $10 until tomorrow. I'm not sure whether to buy it or wait for a sale on PC (it's already been sold at $7.50 on GMG in the past).

If I buy it for the PC, the PC I'll play it on will be my HTPC, with a Radeon HD 5550. I think that the 360 will have a performance advantage, but I don't know by how much. This means that for now it will probably play better.

The advantage of the PC will be a slightly lower price, potentially longer lifetime (support for the 360 will end 3 years from now, and I'm not sure what will happen with digital downloads then, let alone replacing a defective machine), and potentially better performance with upgraded hardware.

What would you suggest?

I played it on PC with a 360 controller...personally I think you should go with PC cuz as you said the 360 will be gone 3 years from now.

Try to 'demo' it on your HTPC before buying it?

Thanks for the idea. I don't 'demo', but I just googled and found there's a real demo for this game. I'll try that.

Tried it, and it runs pretty well on my PC at 720p (didn't get to the open city though). I guess it's reasonably safe to say that it I shouldn't have a performance problem.

It's a shit game, but if you are determined to waste your money on it choose the PC version over any other (that goes for all games though).

It should run much better on the HD5550 than on the xbox, considering most other lego games worked just fine on my GeForce 8600GT. HD5550 is 4 years newer than GeForce 8600GT, so it should be much faster.

Actually in many respects the Xenos (Xbox 360), HD 5500 (DDR3 version) and 8600GT are equivalent. The HD 5550 should have an edge, but I didn't see benchmarks for the same games for both cards.

Four years are a difference, but the 5550 DDR3 is low end, while the 8600GT was mid-range, and this difference takes a while to bridge.
