Ragdoll physics are better than the old style shoot-kill-fall-flat-through-wall style of older games. There is something strangely satisfying about seeing an enemy on RS3 slumped horribly against a barrel or something.

PS2 can manage that too, it just depends on whether a developer can be bothered putting it into their games. It should be a brilliant feature in San Andreas.

xbox advantages over ps2:
Better graphics
best racing games - PGR2, Rallisport 2, Midtown madness 3 etc
Best shoot em ups - halo, yager, crimson skies etc
No need for multi tap, 4 control ports are already built in.
Lag free live connection
bigger live community
inbuilt 50,000 block memory
Play music in the background of games - PGR2 and DOA beach volleyball for example.
Better controller, triggers perfect for fps and racing
Newer, will last longer
cooler design
not glitcy
rag doll physics, dynamic lighting and bump mapping
So their you have it, the best features of xbox

No need to explain to someone with a tag name like yours, if you want basic language then go to Nursery.

Last time I checked, Halo wasn't playable on Live.

Oh, and if you think the GC is just for 'Nintendo followers', you have a problem.
