Splinter Cell... PC or Xbox?

I want Splinter Cell. I played the demo on the PC and I loved it. However, I need more games for my Xbox. I only have Midtown Madness 3 (great game) and the games that came with it. Which version would be better? The graphics are comparable but what about the controls? I generally perfer to play FPS games on a PC with a mouse but Splinter Cell is different. I can't really tell how it would play on an Xbox controller. Any advice?

I played the demo for PC, and I have it for xbox, and I personally thing that the controls for XBOX are better, and with it being $20, its not a bad buy.

I prefer it on PC, but that fact that it's only $20 for XBOX makes it hard to beat. However, the PC version is only $29.99 at EB.

i like the controlls on xbox more than on the pc as well. 20 bucks is a great deal... it cost me 50.

If you buy a copy of Prince of Persia for either Xbox or PC you can get Splinter Cell for free

Thats the kind of game where you want the controls at your fingertips at all times and need to move accuretly, a keyboard and mouse just cant do that.
