Microsoft Xbox 360 Slim review

The Xbox 360 Slim is the best console on the market today. It improves on its predecessors with a slick design, reduced fan noise and a generous hard-drive size. Its chassis collects fingerprints like an obsessed forensic scientist, but this machine offers really good value for money Read more

Sony has finally responded to criticism that its next-generation console is too expensive, introducing this new 40GB unit, priced at £300. The saving means a few hardware omissions, and it can't play PS2 games, but it's outstanding value for such an excellent home-entertainment centre Read more
