Favorite LOOKING gaming device

[Private Custard]

The original Playstation

So simple, so awesome!

Plus, you could use them as an ashtray, spill beer on them, drop them down flights of stairs and vomit on them and they'd just keep fucking going!

 

[Souplex]

Got to go with the Gamecube.

Was gonna say the dreamcast, but then I saw this beautiful item.

Spoiler: All hail the Pokemon themed Nintendo 64!

Based purely on looks:

Spoiler: This monster

Regardless of it's laughably obvious design flaws, myriad ways to literally injure the player (eye lasers, neck strain, "portable" yet completely obstructing vision... to name a few), crap controls and games, etc.... I have to say, on a purely aesthetic level, that is one sexy-looking machine.

 

[Jazoni89]

This one

The PAL one naturally (the blue swirl is better).

 

[repeating integers]

This is such a catastrophically nerdy thread. Which is why I'm gonna join in!

I want this thing. Hint: It's not just because it has a load of exclusive Star Wars Battlefront titles.

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

Alienware M11x.

Also, I forgot about this one.

Don't be ashamed, You know you want it.

That's certainly nice-looking, but how would you cool it? And I'd imagine that only very specific parts would fit in it.

It's the most expensive case, I've glanced every now and then when browsing through components. That design style is called Open Compartment Architecture. It'll run you 650 ? and superb cooling system is one of it's main features apparently; 140mm Red LED fan in front, 120mm Red LED fan in the back, and two 60mm fans for the hard disks.

I don't even know where the fans are, but I'd assume that kind of design is done with the cooling very much in mind.

[The Wykydtron]

Handheld = DS

Console...Hmm probably the 360? I don't really think about the aesthetics... I mean it's like if you were watching a film but you were staring at the projecter the whole time thinking how devilishly smexy it looked.

 

[Jaded Scribe]

I like the DSLite. Clean look, colorful options.

Cool. If I were to build a computer, I'd look for good parts before a beautiful case due to my price range, so I wouldn't be getting that, but it still looks pretty nice.

That's the smart thing to do. I'm not made of money either. But I still like to look through the very high-end parts, even if to just see how ridiculous prices they are asking, or to see where the high-end goes. I always spend many many hours on finding the very best price-value components and parts I can find. That'll also work great together and not include any overkills or bottlenecks, naturally.

It's funny how they make graphics cards to look so good, even though they'll end up face down in the case even if you do have a side window. Same goes for other components, but I suppose people will anyways see pictures of the products in reviews and product images. The visual stuff in these things just so rarely gets to do what it does best.

I am totally biased but I have to go for the NES due to its Iconic design -

Although didn't the US get some really ugly version?

That or that old Sega Megadrive gun thing -

 

[Rough Sausage]

I liked the look of the fake next gen 360, the small almost-spherical type thing.
