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.
