Ahh excellent point Maurice. It means when I want to play Tekken 3 for example, I dont have to unplug everything and set up a new console.
One must not forget the DVD feature. I can now watch movies in my room. Of course one may argue that the Xbox also has the feature, but alas, they were not the first. By the time I had purchased my Ps2, they were still in planning to bring in their DVD add in.
Another reason why i bought a Ps2 over the Xbox was for its size and design. My cousin has an Xbox, and it is the most cumbersome, heavy and huge thing ive seen. The standing up feature is also very handy in low space areas.
