Product name	Microsoft Xbox 360	Pioneer VSX-LX52 A/V receiver	Samsung HT-BD8200 home theater system	LG DA-W5100 wireless home theater system
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8.5 Spectacular	CNET Asia editor's take	8.5 Spectacular	8 Excellent
Review Summary	Now that Blu-ray has become the pre-eminent HD standard for discs, the Xbox 360 has yet to support it, but it still remains an excellent game console with a superior game library and online experience.	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.
