[Dev] PS2 User Poll

[RAIST]

I said: I've got an artist's desk, so gaming in tandem with either/or is less than effective or comfortable if I use the PC as one of the open slots. ... 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. My statement is CORRECT, and I've already explained it to you. Read the whole thing not just part of it. It's a future tense there. It's not a buffet, it's a complete idea and thought. This is also a hypothetical instance, and I'm not got to stop playing a second character that I've been playing for years. Even if it was to go on sale, I'm still PURCHASING the game again, which is still an expense cost that I wouldn't normally have to because I already have the game.

Current Setup, 2 consoles, PS2 and XB360

future costs to Play Adoulin expansion IF it were extended to PS2 outside of JP:
2 x the cost of the Adoulin expansion.

Cost to migrate from PS2 to PC, continue playing XB360 (so you still have 2 platforms available):
$20 (IF you purchase it right now....you can actually install it on PC for ZERO cost)
HINT: you already have content ID's on the PS2, you'd use those on the PC.

Future cost to play Adoulin on two platforms after migration to PC (would be on XB360 and PC and NOT PS2):
2 x the cost of the Adoulin expansion.

If you were to find a USB converter, you could even use your PS2 controller on the PC. First one I used I got on ebay for $5. Found a better one at Walmart a few years later that also took GC, XB, and had extra USB ports on it for $10. So, you could actually simulate your PS2 experience, but on a better platform with the PC.

Nowhere in this process does $40 come into play, at most...it would cost you $20....PERIOD. And even that can be avoided under certain circumstances.

The point is, you can easily migrate to a PC for minimal investment (virtually nothing if you have access to the installation media so you don't have to buy it---just won't have a new content ID if you go the free route, which shouldn't matter since you would be linking to the existing ones registered with your SE ID/POL ID's anyway).

TLDR: $20 to purchase your own single copy of PC installation media != $40 (which can be avoided if you otherwise have access to the installation media up through WotG. The rest is downloaded in updates and activated after you link to your existing accounts, which is what you would be doing. So you don't really need that new content ID you get when purchasing a new copy).
