Over and above the basic gaming capability of a console, various other entertainment devices may be included within the console unit, or connections are available so that customers can connect the gaming console to other devices (e.g. HD television screens) as well as to the internet via a wireless or wired connection. This competing factor is thus measured on an index from 1 to 9, where 1 is no other devices other than the gaming console itself. As the index increases, it becomes possible to play CDs and DVDs, to interact with an MP3 player (copying and playing music), to store information on a Hard Drive of 20GB to 100GB (for saving movies purchased off of the internet) and even have an HD (high definition) Video playing device.
