| Review summary | The most affordable of the current game systems, the Nintendo GameCube offers great graphics and good performance but few extras. | With its extensive digital media features, a superior online service, and an excellent game library, the Xbox 360 remains the game console to beat. | It lacks the graphical prowess and rich media features of the Xbox 360 and the PS3, but the Nintendo Wii's combination of unique motion-sensitive controllers and emphasis on fun gameplay make the ultra-affordable console hard to resist. | A handful of notable upgrades from the entry-level model, the 80GB PS3 is superb Blu-ray player and high-definition game console. | While Sony has cut a few corners to get its entry-level PlayStation 3 below $400, it's still a great game console and Blu-ray player for the money--so long as you can live without backward compatibility for PS2 games. |
