Sure, games like Gears of War and Halo 3 are the obvious reasons to justify an Xbox 360 purchase. But what else do you get that makes Microsoft's console better than the PS3? These seven reasons may not have a ton of sex appeal, but they're cooler (and more useful) than you might think.

6. Xbox 360 Plays Nice with iPod
Who'da thunk it? Microsoft playing nice with Apple? I remember how surprised I was to see my iPod load up problem-free on our first Xbox 360 in the office a year and a half ago. Not only that, but it's just as easy to use an iPod to play custom in-game soundtracks. And no problemo with AAC files, too.
Microsoft and Apple -- an unlikely match made in heaven
Yeah, the controls and navigation could use an update, but the core functionality is there and that's a battle won. Again, no such luck on the PS3 at launch, though there is rudimentary, low-level iPod compatibility. But again, there's no in-game support and the interface stinks - this is an area in which Sony really needs to improve.
