   Well, a lot of it has to do with the fact that if the game was actually   
   programmed for the Xbox, or it was an optimized port, it's always better   
   than the PS2 version. Be it running at 480p or higher, it always looks   
   better, it always runs better. Just has to do with the Xbox's more   
   powerful hardware. Another thing is that online games can be patched to   
   prevent cheating and fix issues. With the PS2 version, there's no fix.   
   This is why there is *rampant* cheating on virtually every online PS2   
   game out there...they can't fix it, at all. With the Xbox, they just put   
   out a patch and it's done. Finally, it's also probably due to the fact   
   that the Xbox version of most games didn't get nearly the number of   
   copies made that the PS2 version did...thus making them harder to come   
   by, and more expensive when you do find them.
