The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability, a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations, smart power management that extended battery life, and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultraportable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedule, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike. Less

Pros
Great graphics and games! Smaller unit, very powerful
Cons
Poor lighting, no backlight
Recommended it?
Yes
Normally, hand held games aren?t my thing, as I find that games simply don?t translate well to a small screen. However, I can honestly say that the Nintendo (and it?s no secret that I am not too crazy about this company), has really outdone themselves with the Game Boy Advance creating yet another...

Cons
Menu Navigation<br>No Party Chat<br>Unreliable
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...

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
Well, since our family has been using Sony Playstations for years (the original and then the PS2), it was a natural fit for us to get the Playstation 3. However, we did wait a while until we got the system, as we were still enjoying games on the PS2 as well as the Wii that we had gotten a...
