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
5. Windows Media Center Compatibility
3. Xbox Live
1. Bungie
3. Xbox Live
The PlayStation Network will get better, but you can't overlook the fact that Xbox Live is THE place to go for all your online gaming needs. Demos thrive, fragging flourishes, and everything is easy to use and well established. Microsoft has set the online gaming standard with Xbox Live, and Sony is going to need to put a heaping helping of effort into PSN if they want to even compete. Free membership is a good start, but at the moment PSN just can't compete with Xbox Live's huge library of content and sleek, smart interface.
It's a serious addiction around here.
We expect to see big improvements in PSN as Sony adds new features (Home, anyone?), but Xbox Live has a huge head start and we don't see them falling to second place anytime soon.
