There are plenty of fugly consoles out there, so which are the most aesthetically pleasing? Opposable Thumbs pipes in with their take on the best use of exterior design for game consoles. From the article: "The 360 design bores me, the PS3 looks like a grill, the SNES was boxy and ugly, the DS looked like makeup, and the DS Lite looks like more expensive makeup. The GameCube? It's a purple purse, for the love of Gygax!" The op-ed piece dubs the PS2 Mini, GBA SP, and Wii as the most awesomely designed platforms to date. Mmmm... the clamshell was most awesome. So put on a black T-Shirt and tell us which console you think has the best looking and most functional hardware.

what about the good old Dreamcast? Soft, cream-white and gray, along with gentle curves and angles. Most important, however, was its reasonably small footprint.

The Wii, nice and sleek!

i've heard people say the psp is boring but i actually think is one of the sleekest consoles i've seen. sure the shiny finish attracts fingerprints but when it s clean it sure does look fancy smancy

I would say the DS Lite, PSP, and Wii :thumbup:

The PSP, especially the white one as fingerprints doesn't show too much than black (except on the screen).

I think the sega neptune would've gotten my vote if it ever were released.

I say psp as I haven't experienced the wii yet.
