    Critics Club V: Xbox 360

    We enter the phase of these threads where you will probably need to pray for me. The number of variants becomes higher and higher and no company is a bigger offender for firing out variant designs than Microsoft. We move on to the Xbox 360 and its torrent of models.

    But which of these designs is the best looking?

    A lot of abominations in that list.

    I actually think my favourite looking 360 is the original Core/'Arcade' model. It's very '2000s' now, but I've always thought it was an attractive, cohesive design. The ring of light was a great idea, and I prefer the white disc tray to the chrome effect used on the 'Premium' model.

    However one that's missing from the list (and I don't blame NI for it in the slightest as it's one made for a contest and therefore very obscure), and one that I've always liked the look of, is the Simpsons edition:



    Generally I dislike the later models. The go faster stripes on the slim are lame as hell, and the budget super slim edition looks just that - budget. They also weren't drastically smaller, unlike the PS3 redesigns. Of course they didn't break every five minutes which was an advantage.

      I like the Slim Matte Black and the Slim White one.

      The Super Slim Blue one is nice too.

        The Simpsons one was in my head too, it should be awful but it's actually alright. It'll be in Round 2 though

          For me, this is another one of those where MS got a lot right on the first pass though it's the white silver drawers Pro that I like the best

              Any jokes about the RRoD henceforth are to be considered treason (or at the very least deeply unpleasant for my imagination)
