Video Game Consoles.
A specialized desktop computer used to play video games. The three most popular game consoles are Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3), Nintendo's Game Cube and Microsoft's Xbox. Game software is available on CD's or DVD's, although earlier game machines used cartridges containing read only memory (ROM) chips. Video game consoles require a TV for display.
Proprietary Systems.
Video Game Consoles are typically powered by Operating Systems and CPU's that differ from Desktop computers. The consoles are under the control of their respective manufacturers, and the software is geared to the machine's capabilities. Games are not interchangeable with other game consoles or desktop computers, although software publishers may develop games for more than one platform.
Handheld Games.
Handheld video games are miniature versions of Game Consoles. They are entirely
portable, self-contained, battery-operated devices with their own small screens. Examples are the
PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Game Boy and earlier Sega Game Gear and Atari Lynx machines.

| REVIEW BY: Mark "Technology, Music and Movies" (NY, NJ, CT USA) - Jun 25, 2008 |
'I was happy when Sony lowered the price on their Playstation 3 40GB, but it took until they released this PlayStation 3 80 GB Metal Gear Solid 4 Pack for me to pull the trigger. Not only do you get the PS3 with all the cool stuff that's included with it and an 80 GB hard drive, but you also get latest in a great Game franchise with Metal Gear Solid 4.' More Reviews...
