What console has your favourite design?

Another vote for the Saturn, love the convex tray lid and the curved edges. I like symmetry in my consoles and not a fan of the Mega Drive model 1. Also quite partial to the Pal SNES.

 

PC-Engine gets my immediate vote. I'm neutral about the rest.

 

Yeah, the N64 is great. I actually do like the power adapter cause I feel it adds to the look of the console. However! On the flipside to what you said, I do like how easy it is to plug in the AC adapter compared to most other consoles since it's really hard to mess up plugging it in with the shape of it. Haha.

 

...and the AC adapter won't work with anything else, and vise-versa. One thing Sony has always done well has been using internal PSUs so you can plug in a very common power cable.

 

I really like how the Sega Master System looks, as well as the fat PS2. I also like how the Xbox One and PS4 look. As you can tell, I like boxy things.

 

Has to be this for me. It's just so sleek and simple in it's design. Love the red buttons too!

 

Not mentioned yet, but a good second choice for me would be the DC Divers.

 

Panasonic M2, definitely.

 

Yeah, the M2 had a pretty cool design. I used to play Total Vice a lot - I really loved that game. It's too bad there was never a console version. The M2 had a lot of potential, but it didn't work out. It wasn't as powerful as a Model 3, but it was probably more powerful than any of the home consoles on the market at the time.

 

For me personally i would have to say the ps1, followed closely by the original xbox and super nintendo. I guess thats mainly because the snes and ps1 are the first consoles i ever owned and the xbox truely had a great design for the time.

 

You a big fan of the plastic ridges on the sides?

It's a nice little feature.

 

internal psu are the worst, as it makes importing a pain. the great thing about external psu's is that you can just use a localised one instead of having to use a stepdown

 

I love the curves of the N64, it's really unique.

 

Original PlayStation gets my vote, love that boring grey! The 20th anniversary PS4 is pretty slick too. Pure nostalgia!

The GameCube too.. the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles model is especially nice

 

PSOne, Super Famicom, Model 1 MD/SCD, first-gen PS2 Slim, NES

Might as well throw in the Divers Dreamcast, Panasonic Q, and the Canada-only Blue Halo 2 Xbox

 

I'd have to say it's a 50/50 split between the N64 and the Wii for me.

 

I love the design for the Genesis model 1 since it was so great for its time. In terms of being small and simple, I really liked the small PSone and the Dreamcast designs.

 

Here is my top three (well kinda):

1- YAKUZA 3 DRAGON PS3 > RG-M1
2- POWER BASE CONVERTER ON SEGA GENESIS M1 ON SEGA CD M1 > PANASONIC Q
3- HI-SATURN NAVI > GUNDAM GAMECUBE

 

This is a bit bais as I built and done the paint work myself. But I really do like the CMVS's out there in the wild.

I'm doing a 4 slot in the same scheme.
