Product name	Sony PlayStation 2 (slim form factor)	Denon AVR-1910 A/V receiver	Samsung HT-BD8200 home theater system	Sony PlayStation 3 Slim
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.7 Excellent	7.3 Very good	8.5 Spectacular	8.7 Spectacular
Review Summary	Sony's slimmed-down, network-ready PS2 is a welcome update to the world's most popular video game console.	The Denon AVR-1910 is a fully featured midrange A/V receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality.	The Samsung HT-BD8200 is a truly solid performer and is worth considering if it fits in with your current equipment stylistically. But it's not the best-specced machine in terms of connectivity.	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.
