Is the PC version of Dragon Age:Origins better than the 360 version?

I've been playing DA:O on 360 for a while now, and I determined its a pretty good game. On gamespot however, they gave the PC Version a 9.5 instead of the 360's 8.5. I was wondering if anyone have played both and can make an opinion on whether or not its actually better on PC or if its just Gamespots possible pro-PC bias.Is the PC version of Dragon Age:Origins better than the 360 version?
The PC version has higher resolution textures and the prop models are more detailed (like bags, crates etc), but other than there aren't significant differences in terms of graphics.

In terms of game play, the PC version has one important advantage over the 360 version, meaning the spell bar, where you can have up to 15 or 16 slots (which proves to be very useful for a mage class). Also, you can pause the game to issue orders, and zoom out for a tactical perspective of the battlefield. Overall, the PC version is inclined towards strategy during a battle, while the Xbox360 version is inclined towards the action.

The inventory management is a little more fluid too, as far as I could tell.Is the PC version of Dragon Age:Origins better than the 360 version?
I've played both , pc first, the graphics on the pc are way better, and there's things I like about it, like you can pause and make your team members do something, which you really need on hard mode, bc sometimes they just stand around, and the descriptions of things and layouts, like the 360version you don't know what the actions are (like what spell you're casting and such) bc there are no descriptions, just pictures, but the targeting on 360 is better, targeting on pc is a *****, bc you have to click on the character then click on the spell and it takes that much longer. so 360 better for that, but picking up items in pc is better. they are kinda equal in my opinion, both good an negative for both. I DO like the 360 better in the case that you can sit back anywhere and not have to worry about wires and keyboards and mouse rather than just your controller, and can lay back while playing and ****.
