The standard HDD was nice yet it paved the way for 'release now, patch later' PC mentality to come to consoles.
It popularized FPS on consoles thanks to Halo, yet that was originally a Mac title, so it was simply buying an exclusive, which was nothing new either.
I bought an XBox for PGR and Rallisport challenge. Racing on consoles was better than on PC, while I still preferred mouse + kb for fps. Fable 1 was fun too.
PS2 was ahead of its time in sound quality. Sporting uncompressed digital audio and high quality DTS surround sound, while the xbox was locked to low bit rate dolby digital. Both had some HD support with component cables.
I'm not sure if it was ahead of its time, it was more like it was exactly the right time for online gaming to come to consoles with always on internet becoming affordable for the masses.
