Least attractive console? WHAT?
http://www.obsessable.com/feature/beaut ... -all-time/
I always thought the 3DO was one of the BEST looking consoles. It looks like an expensive piece of early 90's stereo equipment, and looks amazing mixed in with any other electronics, or just stand alone on a table with its metallic looking polished top.
This guy must be wrong. o.O

no wonder he went that way if he loves the look of that crap that is the ps3 and the Genesis 3, he said they got it right with the Gen 3 design. well if they got it right then why cant you use ANY of the attachments on it dumbass
and i think the Genesis 1 is one of the best looking consoles out there

The FZ1 was and is, not ugly. Although check the source. The PS3 is by no means the most beautiful console ever made but as usual this professor of gamings imagination can't stretch too far past this generation.
And to be fair most consoles fit with their era. The N64 doesn't really offend me, neither does the Genesis 1 (Megadrive) which in it's day I thought it was quite cool looking, although that Genesis 3 looks a bit cheap.
The original Xbox was spectactualrly ugly IMHO and I never thought much of of the NES. Although seeing a NES today in showroom condition it is quite pleasant.
My favourite, of all time, was one of these:
It just looks like it was stolen from a spaceship!

HAHAHA we already talked about in this forum how it looked like the FZ-10, TurboDuo & over 9000 other consoles. Same old look, all they did was add a gloss coat.the PS3 is the most sexcellent console
And why is the N64 in the Beast section? It has got to be one of the most stylish (if not silly) looking designs out there.

He's not only wrong but he's goddamn retarded!
Personally I think the PS3 looks like shit. The FZ-1 on the other hand is gorgeous.
SEGA didn't even make that hardware redesign. MAJESCO DID ALONG WITH THAT ABOMINATION OF A CONTROLLER WITH BUTTONS THAT STICK AND NEVER COME BACK OUT!

Clearly a retarded statement.It only took SEGA two hardware redesigns to get it right with the Genesis.

It certainly was. The 2nd model has a common problem with the AC adapter. The connection goes loose and has to be soldered back on.
The only flaw with the model one Genesis was that you could only get stereo sound from the headphone jack. But that's perfectly fine with me actually since I just stick a mixing cable in there and rout it to the back of my model 2 Sega CD.

PS3 = giant black doorstop
Have any Sony console ever actually looked nice? .....hmmm thinking about it I think the PSOne redesign was alright but that was it
There's nothing wrong with the N64 design at all
The 3DO... well I would'nt say it's the most attractive looking console out there, it's a little bit on the big and square side of things but at least it looks sturdy I wouldn't call it ugly though mind you.

I think Sony's styling is done by someone my age. Oddly, they always look pretty neat at the time and then retrograde badly. The PS1 is Fisher Price too. I didn't mind it at the time. I don't know where they were going with the PS2. I wouldn't say ugly, none decrepit is better but the PS3? It's 1970s retro isn't it? It wouldn't look out of place with Wilma from Buck Rogers lounging next to it or indeed Princess Leah from Starwars (gold Bikini style) chained to it. It's a bit of a original Cylons cod-piece isn't. The Spiderman font was a mistake.
The biggest travesty is the Saturn, for no other reason, other than it was supposed to be this neat Japanese goldy colour but then it was just black. Which epically disappointed me.

To put this all into context, I don't believe in ugly cars either.3DOKid wrote:I think Sony's styling is done by someone my age.

Meh, I hate colorful consoles although the Famicom beats the hell out of the disgusting NES. I love the way the Saturn looks. Hell, I even want to big up one of those Sega Sports Dreamcasts just because it's black.3DOKid wrote:The biggest travesty is the Saturn, for no other reason, other than it was supposed to be this neat Japanese goldy colour but then it was just black.

It fitted the era in which it was made. It looks like an extra from Starwars if you look closely. R2D2s buddy or something.BryWI wrote:Dont pick on the NES! I can't take it! For some reason I dont find it ugly at all. Maybe it's because I played it just about everyday. The blinking red light is the icing on the cake though!
Which makes the 3DO special, as it transcends generations. Visually obviously, not technologically.
I'll start a poll!
