A bit long winded, but I give my reasons for my choices...
System:
1-XB (I like black systems, the \'x\' looks cool, and like PS2, it fits in any entertainment center, look wise. Unfortunatly, a bit boxy)
2-DC (It\'s nice and small, edges curved enough that it doesn\'t look too boxy, unfortunatly, its white-ish color and top loading style keep it looking too toyish)
3-PS2/GC (black or silver) (PS2-Best colors, Black n blue are sweet looking, vertical option, definitly looks neat too, unfortunatly, looking at it from the side w/ the cd tray, it\'s a little ugly, with its one unsymetrical side. Also a bit boxy looking from the front. GC- Way to boxy, has a stupid ass handle, but its small size, and the 2 sleek colors I would choose, it looks a little neat, if the handle is removable, boxy-ness is the only huge problem)
4-Indrema (Like DC, only too long, and unsymetrical. Also, the hobbiest market that is the systems only hope, probably doesn\'t care if it looks cool in a entertainment center)
5-GC (any other color) (Ugggh! A colorful little ugly box. No thanks)
Controller:
1-XB (without having used it yet, it *looks* comfortable, and combines the best features of the other controllers)
2-PS2 (Analog is a little too loose for me, and the left anolog isn\'t even with the action buttons, but other than that, perfect)
3-DC (great once you get used to it, but not curved enough handles make it a bit uncomfortable)
4-GC (maybe it\'ll be great, maybe it wont, unlike XB, i just cant decide w/o trying it.)
5-Indrema (havent seen the damn things)
