Say Yes to DS(i)

Pros New camera/MP3/photo-editing tools; small but handy design tweaks.

Cons Matte finish is somewhat icky and dirt-prone; not worth an upgrade for Lite owners.

Recommended it? Yes

As much as I’d like to be a hip, edgy early adopter, I’ve come to accept that that’s not really who I am at heart. My inherent thriftiness prevents me from splurging on the newest thing for its own sake, so I’m usually left wistfully admiring the cool gadgets of others. The DSi is no exception –...

I absolutely love my new DSi. We are a family of 4 and each one of us has our own DSi. It is great to play multiplayer games such as Mario Bros, sims racing, Mario cart etc. Perfect because as long as you are in the same area you can connect your DSi's...no need for internet... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I had a choice of buying an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3. As soon as I found out the Playstation 3 was FREE TO PLAY ONLINE, i was sucked in. I purchased the original "Fat" PS3 about 6 months after release. Unfortunately after a good amount of time it broke (the yellow light.) It was partly my fault... Read full review »

Pros Able to play PS3, DVD, Blu-Ray DVD and CDs and can stream movies via Netflix.

Cons It is still a little expensive and not able to play PS2 games.

Recommended it? Yes
