Star Wars Battlefront - Striving For Galactic Conquest?

Thanks to LucasArts for their press release officially announcing more information on Star Wars Battlefront, the PS2/Xbox/PC multiplayer action title featuring "the most memorable Star Wars battles set in over 15 environments across 10 diverse planets, including Hoth, Geonosis, Yavin, Tatooine and Naboo." However, a GameSpy preview adds further detail to the previously revealed information regarding this Battlefield 1942-like online-orientated title, including "the 'metagame' driving Star Wars Battlefront. Tentatively called 'Galactic Conquest,' this mode will throw players into a full-scale war. Once you capture every checkpoint on a planet and defeat the enemy's forces utterly, you'll control that planet."

Notice that this has been released for the PS2, XBox, AND PC? Not that this game particularly interests me in the slightest, but I wish game companies would do this more often. I have the PC computing power to handle games like Smash Brothers Melee or Metroid Prime but due the lack of a PC port, I have to either buy a GC, which IMO is a waste of money seeing as how I already have a good enough computer, or wait for GC emulation to get mature enough to be useful. If Nintendo ported their games to the PC or even other consoles like this game company has done, there'd be a much wider fanbase!
