Gamecube.

I mean, it's a cube! At least the Xbox has grooves.

The Dreamcast is way the ugliest, although the Gamecube isn't far behind

I'd say that X-box is the "ugliest". I mean, god, that thing is so BIG! And that lime green 'X' on the top of it doesn't make it look any fancier(sp?) either.

Not that GameCube would be any nicer-looking...

Actually... All consoles are kinda...'ugly'...

...I can't make up my mind....

GC...

I mean, I have never seen a DC, and I think the X-Box and the PS-2 are quite stylish (I own an X-Box myself)

The cube comes in 2 colors, well, at least I have seen 2 colors, and the purple one is just hideous... Another thing, the controllers are ugly too, I mean, you can't play comfortably with those? Can you??

The gamecube is small. Its compact. Its simple. Its good. (Yes, you CAN use the controllerquite well)Honestly I dont see why anyone would even care about what a system looks like, it's how it performs gamewise. Like I said before the GCN can be placed easily since it isnt big and bulky, and I dont see what the hell color has to do with it. There is one system I didnt like, it's not really ugly but I dont really like it. The virtual boy. Its a tripod and a pair of binoculars. You can get seizures from it too!(my friend bought one for this reason....moron)

This is the stupidest thread ever. It's "gay" for want of a better word. I couldn't care less what a console looked like - but i have to disagree with most of you, i think the Gamecube looks pretty snazzy, although i don't care for popularities and trends...It looks especially groovy when placed next to the bulky, PC-parts-thrown-together Xbox and the PS2 that's actually bigger and clunkier than it's predecessor.

But like i say, who bloody cares what a console looks like? I personally think that you created this topic just so you fanboys could have another juvenile stab at your "enemy" consoles, how immature and insecure of ya.

Insecure in the sense that you need reassurance from other people that your preferred console is the best. You start to break a sweat and go "uh...uhhh...oh dear...well ours looks the coolest!!"

You should have opened a thread about which console you thought had the best games at the moment, that would have opened doorways for some intelligent discussion. (A 'best graphics' one may have been fun too but it would have gotten down to petty bickering, no doubt)

Bleh, enough moaning from me.

First of all I don't really care I just expressed my own thoughts on the system. And secondly Why would you assume that everyone here has an enamy system. That is the most redundent thing I have ever heard. We are just expressing our thoughts on the systems simply. You eather like it or you don't

Hey, lets all be narrow minded and judge consoles by their looks

Metroid is Nintendo's series, who bloody else is going to have it? Sheesh...

And as for my last post being "redundant", yeah it is - so is this whole thread.

GAME CUBE!!!

Game Cube.

The below story is all true......

One of my friends took a game cube and took all the crap out of it and putt it back togather, now he uses it as a lunch box. Sure his food gets a little over heated now and then, but he does not mind. Also some times it makes odd noises.

Gamecube is definitely hideous. I mean flat surfaces are.... the past! Remember those cars from the late 80's, hideously flat! Nowadays, its all curves, sleekness and refinement (Corvette Stingray great example!!!). You gotta refine yourselves Nintendo...

So instead of selling it for moolah he turned it into a lunchbox?

Well I sort of agree with Gorgoroth_II. Most times you would buy a console for the games on it, not because how Ugly it looks. Heck, if the Game Cube was the Game Sphere, and it looked like the best console ever, I still wouldn't buy it... And besides, most of you guys are voting Game Cube because most of you have respect for the X-Box and the rest own a PS2.

Oh and the X-box is the Ugliest Console around. Sorry Bill, but it's true.

you all know im all for xbox but cmon. Xbox is by far the most hideous, its completely huge and heavy, its so wide i bet most ppl have to use a crane to move it around. Why is Gamecube ugly to most ppl? its small, u can get it in sweet black color, its light and it fights almost everywhere, i completly disagree that GCN is worst console, i think its the best. but it doesnt really matter to me, they all are cool and unique.

Gorgoroth since everyone else is enjoyin this topic, why dont u just not post if u have sucha big problem with it? nobody is arguing with eachother they are just stating wut they think. its a perfectly fine topic

Hello Happyguy. I would have to say the PSOne. The new one, not the old design. I do not really like the rounded look on consoles. I like the square bold look of the PS2. I do not really mind the look of the Gamecube though. It is kind of cute.

Here is how it goes, best to worst design:

1) PS2- Not to big or small, blue is so hot!
2) Xbox- Big, but you get what you pay for!
3) Dreamcast- Its okay I guess.
4) Others- They have dignity.
5) GCN- Purse...

It's true about the Xbox. It has to be the most hideous looking console around. The controls are great though. Unlike GC's. They are incredibly awkward to hold.
:
PS2- Not to big or small, blue is so hot!
They are black aren't they? Either that or insanely dark blue.
I'm not sure if this pic was an idea or a guess but had it come to pass then PS2 would have been the ugliest mutha out there.

I think it's "midnight blue", or maybe that was the Playstation 1 game creator console...

I'd never really thought much about what console usually looks good or not. I usually just judge on the games that are available for each particular console.

Although I do say that that "PS2 possibility" that Facsimile posted is really shocking. I'm glad that didn't come to be!!!
