How much do we pay to look good?
How much do console manufacturers pay to make their console look good? Well, in Sony's position, they had the PlayStation - looked a bit dull, but it was exciting and new - something 'cool' in the eyes of the market, so aesthetically, in physical terms, it didn't matter that it looked like a big grey slab.
PS2, on the other hand, despite people saying it looks like a radiator, actually looks quite good - very well branded - everyone wants a PS2, not a Dreamcast these days.
Branding, looks, choice.
You pay your money, you get ripped off, but then we can't all be Japanese.
Many happy returns of the day.
Don't judge a console by it's clothes, judge it by what it can do - thus, GCN - looks like an oversized lego brick, quality, don't worry about it - the games will come, the machine will rock, and aesthetics will only matter when you turn the machine on.
You know what I am saying! So X Box - big, fat and ugly - bothered loads - it's what goes on inside, and if it takes a DVD player sized box to achieve the most incredible game you've never seen before then let it be so.
Thanks for reading, you know who I am.

He's tripping!
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
How am I? How are you? How his he? How are we? Questions, questions are all that remain, why me? Elastic bands, paper plates, blind men on galloping horses, what does it matter? File, Edit, View, view what? What do we view? Why do we edit? Where do we file? Why do you worry? For Dan is the Man and I believe, for believing is everything, yet believing is nothing. What's my name? What's your name? What are our names? What is HE called? Why do we name?
Yes I'm fine thanks. Just a little insight into my head. Dan's talking is contageous don't you know.
