| Review summary | The Sony PSP elevates portable gaming to the next level, but its multimedia functionality falls short of its full potential. | With its extensive digital media features, a superior online service, and an excellent game library, the Xbox 360 remains the game console to beat. | The high-end Sony PlayStation 3's larger hard drive and ability to play PS2 games makes it a worthwhile alternative to the cheaper model--so long as you're willing to wait several months for the more promising exclusive titles to hit store shelves. If backward compatibility is your top priority, this hard-to-find model may be worth the search. | 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. | While Sony has cut a few corners to get its entry-level PlayStation 3 below $400, it's still a great package for the money--so long as you can live without backward compatibility for PS2 games and are willing to wait several months for the more promising exclusive titles to hit store shelves. |
