From what my friends say, graphics look way better on the PC than they do on consoles - so much sharper on the former.
My HD4670 plays Crysis fine on High.  Imagine a more mid range 4850 (around AU$250 - probably can get for around US$150) should be able to play it well on reasonably high settings.  Can't really compare prices otherwise, since you're probably going to need a PC anyway, for other tasks.
PC has more games - you're not forced to the consoles' limit range >_>
