The Bottom Line Sony's slimmed-down, network-ready PS2 is a welcome update to the world's most popular video game console. The elder statesman of next generation consoles, the PlayStation 2 has the luxury of a year's head start and many solid games. The latest PS3 slims down to its smallest size ever while retaining everything we like -- and a few things we don't -- about the PlayStation 3 gaming console. The most affordable of the current game systems, the Nintendo GameCube offers great graphics and good performance but few extras. 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.
