PLAYSTATION 2

Available in silver, black or pink, Sony's PlayStation 2 is the biggest-selling games console of all time. It can also play music CDs and DVDs, and, unlike the newer PlayStation 3, is backwards compatible, which means it will play virtually every PlayStation game out there.

Price: £104.99

Released last year, the PlayStation 3 is Sony's most powerful games console. Not only is its cell processor 35 times more powerful than the PlayStation 2 but it also boasts Blu-ray DVD capabilities. It has a 40Gb hard drive and can be connected to the internet for online gaming.

Price: £299.99
