| Review summary | This easy-to-use VCR/DVD combo recorder can dub to lots of recordable formats, but it does cost more than the competition. | With its extensive digital media features, a superior online service, and an excellent game library, the Xbox 360 remains the game console to beat. | The Samsung BD-P1500 lacks some features and doesn't perform as well as the PlayStation 3, but its relatively low price makes it a solid option for those few people on a budget who still demand a standalone Blu-ray player. | Excellent soundtrack support and Profile 2.0-compliancy make the Panasonic DMP-BD50 the most recommendable standalone Blu-ray player to date, but the PS3 is still better and cheaper. | If you're dead set on a standalone Blu-ray player, the BDP-S350 has a small form factor, solid feature set, and relatively low price--but the PlayStation 3 is still a better value. |
