Re: Looks
Seriously.... I like all of the designs. X360 is smaller then this gen... + for them. PS2 added curves and shiny'ness to their console design + for them. Nintendo also added shiny'ness and added a lil twist with the slant +for them...
Hmm....
But it's kinda obvious what i'm going to pick... look at my signature.
The PS3's design seems to be the most different and seems like a console thats suited for Next-Gen. I mean, the Revolution is purdy and all but just being a slanted boxes doesn't appeal to me, and Xbox's is just a dvd player with inner curves....
The PS3 seems like it's trying to do something different with the design... It's rounded and glossy yet can still do the Standing/Laying feature. I also like the variety in the console's overall appearance in how the slot-loading drive in inset leaving LED eject and power buttons on a ledge, and the rest finishes off the curve.
The Xbox 360 is a tray-loader and so it's no big deal for me, and it's just a regular box with curvature towards the inside... so real variety in the overall design.
The Revolution has something with their slant in making things different, but it's still just a square, like NES, SNES, and GCN.... N64 had to be one of their more varied designs.
One more important factor in the designs... is that they all copied Sony's Vertical/Horizontal architecture...... and we all know Sony did that first with the PS2...
