Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (120GB)

By (cnet.com)

More affordable $299 price ; slimmer, more compact design with quieter operation ; all games in high-definition ; easy-to-use interface ; doubles as a Blu-ray and upscaling DVD player ; built-in Wi-Fi ; 120GB hard drive ; HDMI output with 1080p ...

Lacks backward support for PS2 games ; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren't compatible ; online gaming, media, and commerce options still aren't as fully developed as Xbox Live, though they're getting better

With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price.
