($250)

The Wii, at $250 the most affordable of the next-generation gaming machines, has a wand-shaped remote controller with motion and pointing sensors that allow it to be swung like a golf club or aimed like a gun. It's compact and an energy sipper, so it can be connected 24 hours a day to the Internet via WiFi networks. Players can also create avatars, or digital look-alikes of real people, and give them cameo appearances in games.
