Hey, I say go for it. I'm running skyrim on an old laptop, barely being able to play smoothly on tweaked Med-Low settings, but I also have skyrim for the xbox. And I have to say, I love both versions! I'm mainly using the PC copy for modding, etc. And the nice thing is that when I get tired of playing skyrim modded and with "meh" graphics, I can just start my xbox and play a vanilla game that almost always runs smoothly. It might sound weird now, but I'm sure you'll experience the same thing ;) And just so you know, there are some fantastic mods out there that compensate for the "meh" graphics. It took a while before I decided to go the Xbox way. Im just really happy that I have both copies of the game! I hope this helped you make a decision :)
