| Review summary | With its impressive game library, lower price and expanded feature set, it's certainly a much better deal than the original PSP -- and it's even better than the PSP 2000. While its media and online functions won't necessarily replace a dedicated AV device or laptop, it will be good for most portable gaming and multimedia needs Read full review |
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. It's merely mediocre as an audio player, its VGA cameras are poor and under-utilised, and its battery life is significantly lower than its predecessor's Read full review |

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
