I got FM 07 on the 360, and I like the controls on the 360. So that would be why I will buy it on the 360.

Ok but to compare the game to the pc version the 360 is like the poor little sibling. It is rather limited in terms of database size. 360 uses the smallest database option on the game. Also one of my fav areas of FM is customization on pc there is a huge community for it on 360 this cant be done.
