I never said the PS2 wasn\'t a good deal, it is, it\'s just that there ARE limitations to the system. Just look at Q3 and UT, levels on both games had to be trimmed down so it could run on the PS2. Planetside is going to have HUGE levels with a bunch of people on screen at one time, I really don\'t think it could be done very good on the PS2.
Also, it isn\'t only the monitor, the PS2 can also be hooked up to a monitor, but the fact that you can up the resolution so high on a PC that really helps make the games look better.
