Best looking console ever?

But seriously, Im still somewere between the PS3 and Rev. I prefered Rev back at E3 but the PS3 design has definetly grown on me.
 
Revolution gets my vote (Haven't seen it in person though) so......
Neo-Geo CDZ , I have one sitting a few feet from me. Awesome console, even more of a kick ass controller. Someone needs to steal their D-Pad.

Consoles:
Revolution(black)
Sega Saturn(white)
Gamecube(jet black)
Dreamcast(any color)

Handhelds:
GB Micro(all black)
GBA SP(graphite or platinum)

Neither the PS3 nor the X360's aesthetics appeal to me.

I'm sorry. It's impossible to think ANYTHING but the PSP is the best looking handheld ever. I'll give the GBA Micro points for sleekness and the GBASP points for practicality and functionality, but the PSP wins hands down by looks.

Absolutely no contest.
 
The glowing slot on the Revolution sounds like a mistake, unless there's a system for dimming it. Too distracting, same with the X360 logo, it's there for show but not functional when standing next to the set. Otherwise, I like that design.

The PS2 has always been a personal favorite in terms of stark elegance, the Revo takes that same concept and gives it even more style ... for some reason, though, it looks more faceless than PS2 to me and not as interesting. From the side, a piece of work; face on, I like PS2 and the new mini PS2 better, and I especially like the automotive color PS2s for pure style.

PS3 and Xbox 360 are too busy, from what I've seen. I haven't seen one on a desktop, though, so maybe the style comes across then. 360's faceplate was a very clever invention.

Old consoles ... hard to find one that's not beautiful by nostalgia. Certainly not PSX or N64 or DreamCast, not SNES or NES. Genesis is sharp for way back when style. A few Japanese-only consoles have some lasting style.

I agree. Seems like I forgot to mention the PSP in my original post, but yes the PSP is an absolutely gorgeous handheld system, no matter what color you have it in. Still, the GB Micro and GBA SP both look pretty damn good too, in their own respects.
 
I really like the way the Revolution and the XBox 360 look. I mean, the Revolution more than the XBox 360, it's a lot better looking, but I really like something about the 360.
 
I would say PSP but since this is just consoles I guess.. Dreamcast. I don't like the PS3 at all really; I'm not sure how anyone could mention it.. now the PStwo looks very nice.

= beautiful combo.
Gee, wow, way to stick it to Sony, etc.

Ugh. Fanboy. Posting the DS in this thread ought to be a bannable offense.
 
Everytime I see a PS3 standing up vertically I think it's a picture of a refrigerator. :lol



REV > PS3 > X360
 
PSTwo. It was out for six months before I bought it, because I didn't realize it was that damn small and good looking. When I finally saw a used one under glass at a Gamecrazy, I bought it on the spot. What a great little machine.
 
PSP hands down. I'm still in awe of it so many months later. I baby it like no other.

Metallic Silver Dreamcast is 2nd. I have only the controller, I wish I had the system :(

1. Nintendo Revolution
2. Nintendo GameCube
3. Sega Dreamcast
4. PStwo
5. Sega Saturn

Handhelds:

1. PSP
2. Game Boy Micro
3. Game Boy SP
4. Nintendo DS
5. Neo Geo Pocket Color
 
PSP has to be top with PSTwo, Xbox 360 & Dreamcast not far behind. Rev looks like an external CD drive and PS3 & DS are both extremely ugly imo, especially the DS.
 
PSP, PS2 (both slimline and old monolith), & GB Micro. DC is pretty nice in that non-threatening clean way, but still looks a bit like a toy. Not commenting on next-gen stuff since I've never seen them in person.

The Duo line of consoles was always very nice.

QFT, I loved the Turbo Duo. Ahead of its time, yes it was. Sadly, if NEC was a little better at marketing and handling such a fine piece of machinery outside of Japan one wonders how the console market would look today :P

PSP is pretty hot.

If element won't do it, it's cool. But are there better candid X360 shots? The official pics kinda suck.

Back to our regular programming: drooling over that PSP.
