It is a topic we think of all the time, but rarely picked up upon on really.
Which design proves more in line for what we actually want?
To be totally honest about it, the Playstation 2 design is rather 'Jagged' looking, it's fairly big when you lie the console the proper way, but the vertical option is even more pointless and can become a pain after a while-loading games in and out of the tray. Trying to get it to go along side your DVD and video can lead to problems if you go vertical.
And for goodness sake, whats with the dreaded 'power' switch behind the console for??, another thing with the PS2 design that we could have done without.
As for the X-Box, yes the console looks nice in Pics, but honestly the thing is a giant plastic slab with air-vents!
Ever see it on T.V? Especially seeing it along side the Gamecube, makes this monster look bigger than you could possibly imagine.
If the thing had of been smaller, yes it would of been a bit more appealing!, even if it has a pointless green bubble ontop.
And finally the Gamecube, which looks to be my favourite of the lot, looks sleek despite rumblings from other people.
It has been accused of looking 'toyish' sporting a useless handle.
But to be honest, the handle would be a great thing, there have been many times my PS/N64/PS2 etc has been shipped about the house from room to room; and with this GC handle it will make the task more easier.
Then you have the colours it comes in 'You have a choice' , with my favourite being black, with even a stylish top Disc loading tray.
Yes the thing in my opinion looks swell, beats the other two consoles hands down in looks. And furthermore it has what I want a console to do: To fit in with the rest of my electrical equipment with ease, It is compact-It can be carried about the house with no problems and the thing looks nice- let alone plays the best games.
With the X-Box and PS2, I 'don't' and 'won't' get that what I get with the Gamecube.
Simple.

What do you call it? Writing once where you weren't supposed to was allowable, because we corrected it. Then you did it again! Can't you appreciate that we put work into these stories?

Smeagol, you've ruined our story thread. We've put a lot of effort into it. You're just a git if you think you did nothing. And you're an LotR fan as well, tut tut. I expect better of my own kind.

I take it your only a youngster, about the age of 9 from the looks of your posts.

As for you and Ant( who thinks he has some sort of lee-way with things because he has a gold name) both of your posts here in this thread are 'Deliberate' spamming, which im sure will not go down well with SR moderators.
As for posting them here in this topic I created, It does not annoy me in the least whatsoever! In fact-I couldn't care less!
