"Hotter than a heatwave"
What I like:
High quality build, blue-ray, value for money considering hardware specs, wifi, bluetooth, hard disk
What I don't like:
Limited games, not being used to full potential, games too expensive
Review:
Could do with more than 256mb RAM, since I will end up installing another OS on it as well. Other than that It is a fantastic system. Would have been nice to have a couple of USB ports at the rear of the machine to keep it tidy looking say for example if an external HD is connected. NTFS support should be included however I am sure this will be updated at some point.
Overall a massive improvement on the PS2.

Microsoft reportedly at loggerheads with BBC over iPlayer on Xbox Live
We want iPlayer on our Xbox 360, but apparently there isn't much chance of that unless Microsoft decides to allow it on free 'Silver' Xbox Live subscriptions

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
