Hypothesis: Only good things can come from this thread *keep it civil*
 
PS3 looks like a god damn foreman grill. I think the revo looks pretty slick personally.
 
We had a thread like this before, right here. I'll just repeat what I posted in that thread.

Atari 5200:

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):

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:

um....psp. gba micro. japanese saturn. I never had one...but is it the sega cd redesign? that was hot.

I think the rev is remarkably sterile for all the praise it gets.

also, the ps3 is a major step back in design aesthetics for Sony. far, far uglier than the psp or even the ps2, especially the pstwo. It's almost as ugly as the playstation.
 
+1 vote for rev and 360, love em both


+1 vote for ps3 as the WORST looking system.


also, the megadrive/genesis mark 2 was good lookin imo
 
Revolution out of the Next Gen and the Dreamcast for the Last.
 
Dreamcast (especially the Sega Sports black version)
Revolution (white version)

props to the Neo Geo as well

My PSP is the sexiest. Not that it has got much playtime. :(

Liberty City Stories this month BITCH!

Console would go to the PSTwo. "Cute" is how friends have described it.
 
Dreamcast, the original ads were hot. The triangle light worked really well. And the white/orange was a great look. Daring cool design. I also like the black PS3, just speaks high quality and expensive. Revolution as a package is very nice though. As of now the PS3's controller brings it down a notch. Revolution is real unqiue looking, and a console I'd want to try out. So I guess..

Controller/Total package included:

Dreamcast
Revolution

Simply System:

Dreamcast
Black PS3

hack into that biznitch and you'll never put it down.

I have hacked it. But I've already bled my collection to death on PC emus. Are you suggesting I download games I've never owned? Hmmmm? Hmmmmmmmm?
 
PSP gets too much credit for design. The screen is beautiful, but in terms of actually using it as a portable, it comes pretty low on my list and I've owned many portable platforms in my life.

I saw someone on the bus today with a PSP. That's not news, since I have bought one myself . The news is, he had his metallic PSP case which makes his PSP about twice as big, and an electrical cord stuffed down his baggy pants pocket. The poor guy must be recharging the thing every few hours on the road.

The entire package looked unweildy with wires sticking out of his pockets. And if I was really looking to steal the PSP, it would be mine right now. The bus was packed and the guy was standing. He had no choice but to stuff his PSP and power cords into his rather large pockets while he used both hands to hold on for balance.

I would never feel comfortable being in public with what is essnetially a thick wad of cash so easily accessible to pickpockets. Luckily, he's in Vancouver Canada.

Dreamcast and Revolution by far. The PSone was nice as well.

Nostalgia factor, I'd go with original PlayStation and SuperFami as ugly but ultimately endearing and elegant consoles.
 
PS3 is too big to be sexy. I wasn't very impressed at E3.

My vote goes to the Nintendo ULTRA 64 with the ULTRA 64 controller. That was sleek. It got ugly when they removed the ULTRA and made it colorful.
 
solid metal (finally, on a console) + crisp resolution + interchangable faceplates + portable functionality (for real this time...)

IAWTP. I look at it, and it makes me hungry for burgers.

Judging from the pics we've seen, I'd have to go with the Revolution. Of the consoles that have been on the market, I'd say PSTwo.
