| Review summary |
The Xbox 360 Core is the basic model with everything needed to get started playing out of the box. |
The Xbox 360 delivers the power and performance of a high-end gaming PC, including impressive digital media and networking features. |
Sony's PlayStation 3 may be the most expensive next-gen game console, and its launch titles are not all that impressive, but its swanky design and bevy of features, including a Blu-ray drive, make it hard to resist--even at $600. |
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. |
The Sony PSP elevates portable gaming to the next level, but its multimedia functionality falls short of its full potential. |
