Your top five best looking consoles

[Baseley09]

Megadrive 2 & PS2 Slim are shockers, PS2 slim particularly looks like some dodgy toy console clone made in Thailand.

The import version of the MD2 just about gets away with it because of a splash of colour, UK one should go in the bin though.

Thinking about it more, I think the LaserActive deserves a mention. Long before Sony and Microsoft tried the whole single media box concept, you had one system that was able to play your Laserdiscs, CDs and the entire Megadrive/PC Engine libraries.

It's not a console.

It's not a console.

It does have it's own specific library of games though.

Pyramid Patrol could perhaps be called a game I suppose.

1. PC Engine
2. SNES
3. Neo-Geo
4. Wondermega
5. Dreamcast

Sometimes I prefer the prototype models of consoles!

I agree on SNES (not the US box!) and the coloured buttons logo is still tasteful.
That PSOne is quite nice, in retrospect.
The Dreamcast is still pretty and the VMU was a great idea. I know the Pocketstation got there first, but the VMU came as standard and was released outside of Japan. It's a precursor to Wii-U, surely?!



The Neo-Geo is still modern-looking and even though it's not quite as expensive as it once was, it's still a pretty pricey console to buy into!

However, I'm with the PC Engine gang. I've never owned one, but I can appreciate how great it looks, even today.
The Hu-Cards are really dinky too!
I only really like the original white version and maybe the CD add-on in the briefcase.



Special mention to a few older consoles.

Look, I know this isn't aesthetically pleasing, but I like the design idea behind it:


I have a soft spot for the Nintendo Color TV Series


This is pretty ace in a retro-future kind of way

Such a difficult choice, but if I had to...Super FamicomWhite PC EngineNeo Geo AESPSOnePanasonic QIf we include handhelds, the Famicom GB Micro blasts into second place on that list.

[J0e Musashi]

PSX isn't actually a console though, same as LaserActive isn't.

I might change the title of this threrad to:

"Your Top 5 Best Looking Things That Play Games"

Everyone happy with that?

[noobish hat]

Negatory.

[J0e Musashi]

Then we can have handhelds too?
