If the do release the next expansion as a combined pack, it'll more than likely be $30.00 (Due to marketing price up-selling) and I'll still have to get the expansion for 360. Where if it were to be available on the PS2, I'd only have to buy the 2 expansions seeing how I already have everything up-to-date.

Of course the $30 is only a rough shot in the dark, but I've seen a number of times when retail people do market-ups way above the SRP.
Actually, no... I dind't assume anything. That is exactly what you said... that you would have to pay $40 to play on the PC RIGHT NOW.

Besides I still have my Atari, why in the world would I sell my PS2? Also I'd have to spend $40.00 if I got it for the PC now, versus the $20.00 I'd spend if I could continue using what I already have.
You would only have to pay $20 to put it on the PC RIGHT NOW. As for the additional cost for the expansion....it would be the same. You would be moving from XB360 and PS2 to XB360 and PC, as it appears they will not be offering Adoulin for PS2 outside of JP. So, you would not be buying any more copies of the expansion if they were offering it for the PS2---you would be buying 2 copies for XP360 and PS2, if you move to the PC you would STILL only be buying 2 copies, but for XB360 and PC.

So....the only additional cost, if you were to migrate to PC RIGHT NOW.... would be the cost of the PC version as it is RIGHT NOW, $20. It might even go on sale again for $9.99 at Steam--they do this off and on all the time. Or, as mentioned earlier, you could just get the expansion on the XB360 at launch and wait to migrate to the PC later when the next big bundle is released and save a little cash in the long run.

No matter how you slice it... it will NOT cost you $40 to move to PC, which is what you in fact actually stated. The only thing extra it would cost you would be the $20 to buy the Abyssea Addition as it is currently priced, UNLESS they were to extend Adoulin to the PS2 outside of JP AND you were to buy that third copy of the expansion, then you would be out $20 for that Abyssea Edition for PC Plus a THIRD copy of the expansion.
