The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Many of us regularly battle it out here in the Special Reserve Chat Forums, discussing the pros and cons of the Playstation2 compared to the Dreamcast. So the Playstation 2 is more powerful than the Dreamcast, and maybe the Dreamcast has a better selection of games than the Playstation2...but I want you to ignore these arguements for now and concentrate on style.
Style, but why I hear you ask? Well anyone who remembers the days of the 8bit Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) will realise that style has come a long way since then. The NES was perhaps one of the most unstylish consoles ever to grace this planet, its design can only be described as a grey box...and yet in its day it was the most popular console in the world.
What I want to know is how much design, and style means to you...we always say that well buy a console based on the quality of games available for it, but think! Would you buy a Playstation2 if it looked like a NES???
I'ld like to know what console, in your opinion has the best design?
Do you think that the Playstation 2 looks like a VCR, has a dodgey power button??
Or perhaps you think the GameCube looks like something that wouldnt look out of place in a Nursery??
Maybe the Dreamcast is the best looking console on the market today, but its joypads let it down??
Is there a machine you wouldnt buy, just because its design is so awful??
Whatever your opinion I want to hear it, just leave the machines specs and games out of the arguement. Yes these rules mean you could argue that the MasterSystem was the best designed console in History (But I doubt it!).

I think the best looking console is the N64.
The most comfortable controller is the DC's.

naaa... this is how Sony started out...
When they first releaed the PS1 they actually used this as a selling point...

Style does attract u to a games console but its what really counts inside. a games console must have a good selection of games and must b a reasnobale prices. SR will make them cheap anyway
