well I agree with Ethugg, it\'s all about the games, BUT, it does feel good when the sytem you support looks sweet along with having good games. now just to plz the croud I\'m gonna post my fav\'s looking system to my most hated looking system.

from best (1) to worst

1. PS2 (very inovative, and there is nothing like it anywhere, plus the vert option is amazingly original)

2. DC (Black Sports Version) -nice and sleek, but a little too boxy.

3. GC (by far uglier then the X-Box, but at least it is inovative, so I think it deserves a better score then X-Box just for the new console apearence.

4. X-Box (too dull and un-original) - the looks are not all that bad but we\'ve seen it a hundred times and queit frankly I\'m bored to **** with that look.

Looks like my DVD system shaped in an X.

The controller looks like a cross between the DC and GC controller. Note the position of the sticks. Now, if this thing kickass in the game department, I will get this system. But the design IMO, ugly.

The two look nothing alike man. Except they are both black. In which case, Sony ripped Sega off, because the Genesis/Saturn was black.
 
Basically.
They look nothing alike.

i don\'t think the Xbox imitates the other consoles so much but has an uncanny humidifier like appearance with those vents. controller looks very pc-ish,which should be fine with all those expected games from the majorily pc developers...

:laughing:

I think XBox looks just fine, I see no problems with it. The controller does not look PC\'ish, it has a DC/Dualshock look to it

An Xbox thread in a Ps2 forum gets 1,300+ views and 94 replies! If this kind of interest keeps on going then there\'s no doubt that the Xbox will be very succesful indeed.

BTW after looking at the Xbox pics again i still think it looks hideous!

Astro :cool:

no really it does look pc-ish in it\'s basic form,here are examples;
Xbox pad

pc pads



i don\'t see where it looks like a Dualshock though but maybe DC-ish a bit,sort of...

Metal, you have it backwards those PC sticks look console-ish. The only reason PCs have controllers like that is to play console type games.

"1. PS2 (very inovative, and there is nothing like it anywhere, plus the vert option is amazingly original)"

very inovative, yep.  looks like a vcr with ps2 logo.  I\'m pretty sure i can find that kind of design anywhere.  The vertical option is a rip off of the old pc-console system known as pc engine(i think), the system was all white

Although It\'s the games that count, I really dislike the XBox console design.  

The PS2 still reigns supreme as having the best console design IMO.  It\'s followed by either the DC or the Silver NGC, with the big black box pulling up the rear.

you missed my point though,the pc pads try to copy console pads but fail miserably most of the time,feel and play ackward with odd designs. the Xbox controller "looks" like that type of controller to me,yet i won\'t place final judgement until i use it. that\'s all i\'m saying,nothing more or less...

Chrono, what console was the other picture you posted?

BTW, the X-box looks nice and all, but green/black combo comes second to PS2\'s blue(fade)/black combo.

If it looks like anything, its a tricked out DC controller.
