I'm a PS2 user and I think this thread is very ineteresting. For starters I enjoy playing the PS2 version of FFXI and would be reluctant to leave it behind for a new PC. :P However, for everyone saying there's a PC worth 100 - 200 bucks that can run FFXI I'd love a link to the computer please.

If it could also run other MMO games and maybe even FFXIV (once it gets fixed up) that be even better and I'd give you cookies for a link that could cover all that.
I would also like to point out that the problems many PS2 version users are experiencing aren't limited to just the PS2 version. On top of that I doubt SE would stop supporting PS2 versions because of the shape they are in after FFXIV release. If they do however I think SE should offer some gateway to FFXI on either PC or Xbox so they don't simply lose all their PS2 users.
