Play Station 3

Play Station 3

We're not pledging allegiance to any one gaming camp, but it's hard not to love the updated PS3. It's still one of the best Blu-ray players available, and it now also streams Netflix movies and TV shows, just like that other guy. It even comes with built-in wi-fi, so you can browse the Web out of the box. Game-wise, it has a number of exclusive titles, like Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time and Katamari Forever. The new PS3 console has shed a few pounds and, more irresistibly, slashed its price.

Price: $300 (120 GB) to $350 (250 GB)
