Does any of you guys have experience with the Korg MS2000 and Virus TI? My question is if I can get out of the Virus the sounds this guy makes on the MS2000 or I'll have to buy the Korg for that?

You can get those sounds with a freeware synth.

+1 to nowaysj's post.
that said, i bought the MS2000 a few weeks ago and it blew me away. so awesome to program a synth in a normal freaking way, after years of fiddling with a mouse or using a single knob like on a Micron or Alpha Juno.
also,the sound is pure digital coldness (as opposed to dirty analog warmth

), the oscillators alias like crazy, the filter is all digital and mean and the whole thing sounds like some sort of evil cyborg synthesizer. I LOVE IT!

They're both virtual analog synths anyway

I understand. I also own a Tetra and an Evolver. Could they get me closer to the MS2000 sounds this guy makes in the clip??

Not trying to be dickish, though that rarely prevents it, but I don't think you're looking for that guy's sound. I'm betting you're looking for his skill.
Again no dickeshness. And like Komander up there mentioned, the MS2000 does have a sound, and so does the mpc 2500, same area of sound actually, the 2500, to me, sounds really kind of harsh or edgy in the highs, something the korg does to an extreme, though the korg fades into mushy aliasing in the uppers way more noticeably (again, not a bad thing).
Sounds like you have a large budget to work with, why not just pick up an mpc 2.5k and an ms2k?
But don't forget, knowledge/experience seem to be what you are lacking, which is a good thing, so again, no dickishness.
