I'd take the internship. Getting your foot in the door is huge.
I was an dev intern at a video game company my senior year of college, and thanks to that one internship I met senior devs and producers. Thanks to their letters of recommendation I could take my pick of work in the game industry. The president of nintendo called me about a job thanks to one of those letters. Obviously that's an exceptional case but it illustrates the point. It's all about connections.
Take the internship, and show passion. Reach out, take initiative, do a great job. Develop relationships with the people in the planning dept. Then when you graduate you'll have a job where you want to be.
