Why doesn't a company just release a system where white is a stock color? It always looks great.
PC-FX
Jaguar
Dreamcast (standard)
3DO (original Panasonic model)

No one seemed to notice my update to the retailer-specific holiday SP thread, but FYI Circuit City's exclusive is the Pearl White SP. I got one Friday, it rocks. The material also seems a lot more scratch resistant, like the color is the color of the plastic rather than a seperate layer (like my platinum one was).Quote:

The original NES was amazing because it was so ugly.
Orange spice GameCube (I like the GC in general, though)
Pearl pink GBA SP (Again, though, I'm a fan of the SP in general)
I've always had a soft spot for the PC Engine Duo-R, and something about the gargantuan nature of the NeoGeo AES was always fun. PSOne was a great remake of a console that I already thought had a good look to it. CDX was also a cool design.

The Skeleton Derby Stallion LE Saturn
I've always liked the Saturn's design and this is my favorite (non-custom) saturn system.
The Sega Master System II
I always thought this was the best looking system released before I saw the saturn. Now that I think about it I really want to do a custom job on one of these sometime.

The Duo is still sexy as hell but I love the way a model 2 Genesis and Sega CD look together.
Of the current consoles, the Panzer Dragoon Xbox and the DOA one are awesome.
Andy had it right.
Crystal Xbox.
no love for the silver NGPC?

I'm in the process of moving and upon unearthing my DC from beneath a pile of long-forgotten papers and carrying it to the car, I was...moved.
It really is cute. Little. White. Different. Tapered front end with 4 symmetrical inputs. The back end flares (but just a bit) and the lid opens at the top with a satisfying click of a button.
Call me old-fashioned but front-loading trays are impersonal, mechanical and robotic. You hear the gears whir and sometimes there's even a sound as the tray demands the game, it's 'hand' extended. Push the DC's button and the lid opens quitely and gracefully, waiting for you to put in the game...whenever you'd like.
wow....i really feel like masturbating onto my DC now. bastard :(
There was a similar thread on the Gaming Age message board (click here if you want to read it), so I'll just repeat what I said over there:
Atari 5200:
http://www.atariage.com/5200/images/...00_4port_a.jpg
This was a stunning piece of hardware when it was first introduced in 1982. A sleek, smooth black body was accented by a metal faceplate with the logo. There was even a built in controller storage compartment near the rear of the machine. Physically, it was a very large console. The overall package gave the impression that this was the system of the future that was here today.
Aspects of this machine's design also influenced the Atari 7800 and the 1986 redesign of the Atari 2600. Here's the 7800, with a similarly elegant design in a package that was much smaller than the 5200 (comparable in size to the original 2600):
http://www.old-computers.com/museum/...ari_7800_1.jpg
Here's the 1986 redesign of the 2600, which was a very small machine, along the lines of the PSone or the new model PS2:
http://www.skjoldhammer.dk/atari2600/a2600_a2600jr.jpg
I should also mention this other variation of the Atari 2600 which was sold in Japan, known as the Atari 2800:
http://www.atarimuseum.com/videogame...tari2800-2.jpg
The case design was sleek, and the overall form would later undergo a few minor modifications and become the casing for the 7800. The controllers were combination joystick and paddle controllers. You would push buttons on the console to determine whether you were using them as joysticks or paddles, and an LED would light up accordingly. Apart from those differences, it was essentially the same system as the 2600 internally.
Although this machine wasn't released in the US under the "Atari 2800" name, it was sold exclusively through Sears under the name Sears Video Arcade II:
http://www.atarimuseum.com/videogame...-arcade2-1.jpg
The nameplates were different, but otherwise it was the same as the 2800. In case you're wondering about the "II," it's the successor to the original Video Arcade, which was simply the original 2600 sold under the Sears name.
Looks can be deceiving.Quote:

No love for the Nintendo 64? I think it looks awesome, like a piece of home stereo equipment had sex with a Super Nintendo. I also dig the GameCube, original Genesis, Dreamcast, PSOne and Jaguar. What's with so many mentions of the PSP??? It's the most standard handheld layout possible, it's a rectangle with a screen and buttons on either side. The GBA SP and Nintendo DS kick it's ass aesthetically, at least they fold
Super Grafx
PCE LT
and, of course, the Divers Dreamcast
Hello Kitty Dreamcast.
It will still be mine.
Because it's a gorgeous design. I like simple, clean designs, and the PSP is certainly that. Plus, when you look at it, almost the only thing you see is its huge ass screen, which is pretty cool.Quote:

I love compact white consoles without a bunch of superfluous ports and buttons, so the PCE and PSone are my favourites.
