You do not need a 2k PC to run Crysis on those settings.  A GTX260 is capable of running Crysis in 1900x1200 with Ultra high (0xAA) and running at a stable framerate.  This means you hardly need 2k computer to run the game, more like $800 for the required.  If you are including the monitor, you should then be including the $1500(minimum) for the HDTV to get the PS3 to produce those graphics.

$1500 minimum? WTF? Since when did 720p TVs start at $1500?!

And seriously ... whatever price you want to target with your PC build, you're still saying you need a GFX card that starts at $300 to even run this. That's not a relevant comparison at all.

The truth is if you are looking at running Crysis at a resolution similar to 720p, not something that is above 1080p, you could easily produce those graphics with a $150 video card.

You never said a TV is 1500 minimum, I was just using that as a point of reference for a video source for running a PS3.  There may be cheaper 720p displays out there, but I didn't really look at prices just went with memory from when I purchased my TV 3 months ago.
