I didn't mention pirating games, I mentioned using an emulator. Or am I incorrect in thinking that an emulator can run a purchased console game on a PC? It isn't something I have looked into.

A PS2 costs around $50 second-hand in this country which would be a worthwhile purchase for me to have access to PS2 RPGs. Thanks for the feedback everyone, it has swayed my decision towards buying the actual console rather than using my PC for everything(as I love to do).
What type of monster PC are we talking about? Better than a quad core i5 3.4ghz, P8H77 motherboard, 8gb 1600mhz ddr3 ram, nVidia GTX 560ti?

Hmm, well I never knew that. I probably couldn't run it anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me. Not to mention I would probably be too stupid to figure out how to get it to work. Also may I recommend the Ace Combat games (at least the ones for the ps2)? They aren't RPGs (they are like arcade-y flight sims) but they have great stories.

No matter where you choose to play PS2 games, but please, Include Shadow of the Colossus on your list.
For me, is not one of the best PS2 games, but one of the best games I've ever played.

There's a HD version for PS3 (as most of the PS2 games), but I never touched... but I hope to, one day. ;p

A lot of People is under the wrong impression that emulation = Piracy. Your correct to think that some emulators can run console games from the original media, but most of those is CD based. But most emulators is easier to use with "ripped/dumped" media.

I've got a 2.6ghz Duel-core with 3gb mem and a gt240 and it runs pcsx2 at a reasonable rate in some games. Games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance it runs very slowly.

It is not wrong impression. Even if the games are original the emulator itself is not. It uses console BIOS without the permission from creators. To use it legally you should buy console then extract the code yourself and run emulation. I bet no one does that.

The production of the PS2 and associated games came to an end anyway, or..
