Mainly the online aspect, XBox live really is a sweet system for playing games online. The buddy list, games request. The PS/2 doesn't have anything as unified as that for playing online.
The built in hard drive and the ability to d/l new content for games you own is cool. PS/2 doesn't have that.
BTW i'm only compaing it to the PS/2 because the GC's online component is, for all pratical purposes, non-existant. I love my little black box with the orange eye but it's an island unto itself.
The graphics are better on the Xbox than the PS/2, thus the sports games will look nicer and since the PS/2 and Xbox share a lot of the same sports games, I'd rather have the nicer graphics given then same price point.
Personally the Xbox had more games (GTA3, MechWarrior, HALO, Crimson Skies, Morrowind, KOTR, future Doom3 and Half-life 2) that I wanted to play than the PS/2(GTA3, FF XI, Jak2)
I outlined my reasons for buying an XBox and why I liked my GC. I didn't see any need to tear down the PS/2 because it's a perfectly fine console if you like the games that are out for it. If the PS/2 cost as much as the GC, I might have bought it instead of a GC.
I told him to look at the sports titles on the GC and see if he liked them. If he did, he can save $100 and buy a GC (or buy 2 or 3 of the GC sports titles to go with the GC when he buys it with the left over $100)
If not, I pointed to the XBox for reasons that I thought made it a better choice than the PS/2. Whether or not he wants use them. You haven't defined what makes the PS/2 sports titles "better" than the same title on the Xbox? Are the players smarter on the PS/2 version? Does Detroit not suck in Madden 2004 for the PS/2?
