Slimmer, lighter

Not much has changed

More of a losing those pounds put on over Christmas than a brand new you

HDMI socket, 120Gb hard drive, great graphics

Power pack is massive, still noisy

If you're a gamer and you want to get into the Xbox 360, this is the way to do it. Skip the Core and Pro and stump up the extra £50. It will be worth it in the long run.

Small, cute, interactive, cheap, innovative

Graphics, lack of home entertainment features

Although the graphics aren't up to what gamers will be expecting for a next generation console, the gameplay and its interactivity will have you jumping around the living room with joy

Graphics, Blu-ray player, memory card reader, quiet compared to the Xbox 360

Games aren't as innovative as the Nintendo offering, HDMI setup annoying

A very impressive machine, if only the games and the movie selection were at the same level as the console this would be a no brainer. Hopefully for UK readers, by the time the console launches here both issues will be resolved

Slimmer, brighter screen, shiny case, better looks all round

Still not as powerful or multimedia focused as the PSP

The handheld console hasn't just lost weight, its gained some style too

Easy to use, cheap, plenty of puzzles

The cursor marking your box is hard to find if you turn away,

Being a big fan myself, my first initial thoughts of this device were that of excitement, but unfortunately this soon wore off after a few games.

Graphics, wireless controller, digital hub capabilities

Tad on the large side, huge power pack. Budget version won't give you what you need to really enjoy this

If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you should you try and bribe and beg to have one under the tree for this Christmas the answer is most definitely

Screen, games, menu system

Likely to get scratched if you don't protect it, a must have item for thieves

This is going to be the must have gadget of the season for gamers and gadget lovers alike

two player, powerpack included

games and graphics are rubbish

Nostalgia can be cruel - for purists only

30 games to play, easy to connect to television

Needs four AA batteries to work, graphics really were rubbish in the good old days

Like the slew of retro gaming consoles all offering you memories of gaming yesteryear this is another five-minute wonder
