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.

No, once you become a regular you stay a regular.
Of course, the colour of your name is of no consequence. If you post crap and never contribute, you will be a newbie in our eyes forever.

A quick question..........
If you become a regular and do your 21 days..........
what happens if you dont use the forums for a year and then come back........
are you still a regular?
If it does work that way I think it needs changing

I am the right eye. And the cow licked the moon. Mr Ali? Check out my new weapon? How do you like your toast, for toast is all that will remain, once the fire is unleashed from oakley. Forms of wind, drains of fire what does it matter? Evil? Good? What is the difference? Why? Why me? Why you? Why? Who am I? Who are You? but most importantly...
