The PSP elevates portable gaming to the next level, but its multimedia functionality falls short of its full potential Read full review |
The Nintendo DSi is great if you're looking for a new handheld games console, but there's very little point buying one if you already own a DS Lite.

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim
Smaller, quieter and cheaper than previous PlayStation 3 models, it's the best version yet
Nintendo Wii MotionPlus
Does a good job in some games, but it doesn't provide a consistent user experience
Nintendo DSi
It's a slight improvement on the DS Lite, but the new features don't warrant an upgrade at this point
