What do you think is the best looking console? (lemmy.world)

I was thinking about this lately, but I always loved the look of the PS2. I I think the black and blue color scheme works really well. And I like the two levels like the top and the bottom part of it.

Second to this, I think the Dreamcast looks really great. The angles on it make the console look so compact. The orange light on the console is placed really well too.

What do you like?

SNES.

The NES was a box, and the SNES had lines.

but the American SNES was also a soulless box.

Are we talking about the same SNES?

~~The European snes is beautiful, more likely what he's referring to~~:

Sorry I see you're OP, Id have to agree the states snes version is not very attractive in my view, I'm sure I'd feel differently if I'd grown up with one though...

I grew up with the US one. Yours looks better. Classier maybe, more grown up or something. Ours looks like Fisher Price.

I feel the opposite. The rainbows give me a fisherprice vibe on a fake PC. The purple looks classy and it looks like a first party console

I've always said that the PAL/JP hardware with the US purple would look awesome.

[–] ilovededyoupiggy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Absolutely, that would have been perfect.

I always loved those rainbow colors!

yeah, gross, check other reply.

so strange the Americans didn't also redesign the controller to be less sexy too.

edit: gotta say I am a fan of the purple though
