Product name	Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite	Samsung HT-BD8200 home theater system	Pioneer VSX-LX52 A/V receiver	LG DA-W5100 wireless home theater system
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8.5 Spectacular	8.5 Spectacular	CNET Asia editor's take	8 Excellent
Review Summary	While it's neither a must-have upgrade for existing 360 owners nor as feature-packed as the PS3, the Xbox 360 Elite's combination of top-notch gaming and digital media features make it the current game console of choice.	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.	More info	The LG DA-W5100 wireless home theatre system is a decent system that performs well with both audio and video.
