The slow spring of the disc cover opening on a PS1 still excites me.

Top-loading is amazingly classy.

A lot of people really hate oXbox's aesthetics, but I always thought it could look totally sweet if you mounted it in a decent spot. One that reveals the existence of the top X while preventing it from dominating. I wish I had a better picture of that thing basically dominating the froodlenutzsky out of the living room; the controller cords totally completed the picture.

Soon it will temporarily return to its old home.

Haha, agreed! The N64 may be my favorite console, actually. Tons of great memories!

But yeah, while a lot of people look at their consoles as serious business, they have always been toys to me. Expensive toys that I'm protective of, yes, but toys nonetheless. Strangeness like the Gamecube is welcome, at least in my eyes.

I'm boring, my favorite console design was the Dreamcast. It was simple and functional while still being attractive.

Console appearance has always been at the bottom of my checklist of important features of a console. If an object performs its function well, I'm happy, and the PS4 is looking like it does its job quite well.

Honestly I prefer simple design like what we're getting to something crazy. I like it to blend in more than stand out under my TV.

I agree, though my inner child does sometimes miss the more toy-like designs of consoles past. The N-64 just LOOKS fun. :)

Then again, I've never liked Sony's console designs*. They've always looked like two separate objects fused together.

The "slim" redesigns for the PS2 and PS3 were both attractive. Retains the basic shake, scales it down, looks like something you would have expected the original design to be.

Tries to be just as stylish as Xbox One and unique as the original PlayStation 4. Looks pretty ugly.

At least the games announced thusfar have been fucking amazing.

Pretty ugly, but at least it doesn't look antiquated.

Anyone else notice how small it looked?

*The PS1 being an exception.

I like it. In fact it's my favorite console look that isn't in the classic category. At least - that my initial impulse of thought.
