get an xbox and the game.   I have played both (I have both actually). 
While the pc version is superior graphically (if you have a high end 
machine), the xbox version is very very very good.  Also,  with xbox live 
(with headset), the multiplayer is better (IMO)  with xbox.

I highly recommend the collectors edition to get the extra videos and the 
original doom 1 and 2.
