1. There is a much wider selection of games.
2. You dont need to pay an annual online subscription.
3. It has sold more units worldwide, making it more popular.
4. San Andreas came as exclusive to the PS2.
5. The PS2 mags are better,especially OPS2 magazine. (To bad that Rich is going away).
6. The new slimline PS2 looks a lot better than a clunky Xbox.
7. The PS2 will have a handheld buddy soon, the Xbox wont.
8. Its cheaper than an Xbox if you look around.
Those are the reasons. I hope that it will encourage more people to buy the great,excellent,brilliancy that is a PS2.

It's a matter of taste. Personally I found a lot of them used to be very misleading with a new game being praised as 'the PlayStation's Goldeneye' far too much, besdies the fact that none equalled or bettered Rare's game.

Wow! This pink piece of **** looks much better than that greasy hamburger, let's eat the **** then.

The Xbox sequel will no doubt be able to interact with your PC so you can do things like swap saves/MP3's etc.

It's been overpriced for far too long.
