The Bottom Line	The most affordable of the current game systems, the Nintendo GameCube offers great graphics and good performance but few extras.	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.	With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price.	The Xbox is the most versatile console and perfectly complements a home-theater system.	Sony's slimmed-down, network-ready PS2 is a welcome update to the world's most popular video game console.
