Is a console for me?

[Serpent]

Just before i was about to send my payment to charlie for the messiah (sorry charlie :P), i got thinking " do i REALLY need a console?"

See, i have a kick ass PC, it is stable as hell, i can get any PC game, I like sitting in front of my PC (which is my entertainment center)... so what do i get for my $400 ps2? (modding + accessories)

I have a 27" nothing-special Toshiba TV. The gameplay isn't any better on a console (is it?). Of course we all know that the graphics on a Geforce Ti4600 at 1280x1024 (my vid card and resoultion) look much better than a console. Then most console games get ported to the PC.

So, do i REALLY need to buy a console? I can afford it, don't get me wrong, but i don't want to spend $400 and then go back to my PC and i end up with an expensive piece of trash.
