Though it looks like a toy, don't be fooled: the Nintendo GameCube is a powerful video game console that rightly deserves its place among the other next-generation game systems. In fact, its playful, appealing design and small size (the unit is a not-quite-cubed 6 inches) aren't the only features that set it apart from the others. For starters, Nintendo has quite clearly made this a game-only machine. It doesn't try to play your CD collection, run your movies, read your e-mail, or store your MP3 files. The company has concentrated its efforts on games. All the prelaunch titles we've seen play smoothly, with bright, fast graphics and great sound. Nintendo says its engineers have removed traditional bottlenecks that have, in the past, slowed down processing. New components designed by IBM and MoSys, as well as a large-capacity secondary memory cache, keep instructions moving through the system's microprocessor (MPU) at peak levels. Less

Good Value
Cons
nothing
Recommended it?
Yes
Game cube is fun and addicting. The graphics aren't as great as on the newer game systems, and the new trendy games like rock band aren't offered for game cube, but it is fun for playing more classic video games, and kid friendly.

When we first got this, when this was the "new" system out there, it was awesome and very advanced. Now there have been another 2-3 systems since then, so naturally it pales in comparison. However, there are still tons of great games out there for it and it is very fun!

This review is a Hardware review of the current Playstation Portable console (configuration: PSP3000)
The PSP 3000 differs from the PSP 2000/1000 in that it has a new (and improved !) LCD screen as well as a built in microphone. A Lesser talked about detail is the fact the system has...

Yes
Just like the Playstation 3, the PSP (Playstation Portable) has seen its share of hardware upgrades. The PSP 3000 is the third in the line of PSPs. Before I go further, if you already own a PSP 2000 or the original model, you may as well stick with it. The PSP 3000 offers minor technical...
