Product name	Nintendo Wii	Pioneer VSX-LX52 A/V receiver	Samsung HT-BD8200 home theater system	LG DA-W5100 wireless home theater system
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	8.5 Spectacular	8 Excellent
Review Summary	It lacks the graphical prowess and rich media features of the Xbox 360 and the PS3, but the Nintendo Wii's combination of unique motion-sensitive controllers and emphasis on fun gameplay make the ultra-affordable console hard to resist.	More info	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.	The LG DA-W5100 wireless home theatre system is a decent system that performs well with both audio and video.
