Want to play Saints Row 3 on your PC? Me too. Volition has added a Saints Video Record mode that allows you to take clips and share them. After launch we'll see other enhancements, like Team Fortress 2 bobblehead mask add-on.
If you're in it more for the tech side, you'll be glad to hear that SR3 supports advanced depth of field, reflections, and ambient occlusion quality. SLI? Yep. There's AMD Eyefinity support, DX9, DX10, and DX11 support, and it's Crossfire enabled. Play it on PC if you can.

Looks like I'll be buying this twice.
Hopefully it'll go on sale, though, having already dropped $100 on the CE for 360.
I loved GTA4's clip editor, and now that it's gonna be in SR3 it's another thing I have to add to my "Must Buy Eventually" list.
@Popliteal Buy a controller for PC. In fact, I just recently discovered that there are xbox controllers sold with a PC adapter, i.e. you can use it for both... not at the same time though... unless you're Ben Heck of course ;)
After that horrible port of SR2 its like putting your money down at the casino.
Plus mods havent really been a strong point for SR games. I woulndt buy it on PC for that.
ALL PC games should have split-screen, since it's no different from playing on consoles. Someone even made a split-screen patch for the PC version of Resident Evil 5, and it literally works identically to the 360 version.
The SR2 port was farmed out to some company in Asia. SR3 is being done in house along side the console version. Violition did the same with Red Faction: Armageddon and the PC version ended up being pretty good.
