@1.1

Agree. It's like making the next Nintendo out of this box:

@1.1: I don't give a crap how it looks (I gave mine an Assassin's Creed skin and faceplate... okay so maybe I do care), it's still a lot of fun.

I don't think the 360 (general, not this one) is ugly. I just don't like the look because of my perspective. I don't really know why, but I feel that they tried to make it kind of futuristic-ish, and that makes it kind of difficult for me to take it completely seriously.

Maybe it's the power ring, or just something about the design, I honestly can't tell you. Don't get me wrong though, it's not terrible or anything, it just *sometimes* looks a bit weird to me. I like the look of PS3 and Wii because they're simple and sleek for the most part.

Now it is one thing for people to argue about abstract stuff such as power......but to say that the 360 has no chrome? All you got to do for that is just look at a picture of the premium unit.

If people honestly think the design of the ps3 is better...something is seriously wrong. The ps3's design is just about as bad as the original xbox. Between the two...I prefer the look of my 360...and I been rocking the wood grain face plate for a while now....there are no ptions for my ps3.

The 360 does indeed have chrome, just like the PS3 has skins. Google it. ;)

As for 360 design being better... What about that ugly a$$ external power block?

My premium came with the chome....my ps3 did not come with the skin. My ps3 is in an entertainment unit...so I would not really see the skin anyway, but I can see the face plate on my 360. Power Brick? I have not seen that in years...just like other power cords. Besides, I do not consider the power brick to be part of the designs...especially since it was not included in the design. I hate to even call the shape of my ps3....a design....I am not exactly sure what they where going for with that. The best part of the ps3 exterior to me is the blue light........it is something about blue lights that make the world seem like a better place.

It doesnt look that bad IRL it just sucks in photos!

and LOL at the people who say the ps3 looks sexy. I guess you guys go for the glossy george formean grill look!

The only undeniably sexy console this gen is the DS lite

I believe they were trying to make it look like a military equipment with the army green color. However it din't come out looking that great. Would hv looked nice in cameo though.

i guess you dont have any mirrors in your room, burn.
I personaly think it looks better than a foreman grill and than the xbox i like the faceplates you can get if you find a cool one it can make all the difference.

i personally like the design of the 360 but it would be cool if the whole thing was ceramic white, that would kick ass. i agree with the poster about the halo3 one being fugly, it just is, no getting around that

The shape of the PS3 is one of the reasons it doesn't overheat, it's an airflow thing.

RRODed.

The End.

Anyway, an xbot is an idiot who thinks his/her system is the best in the world despite the following:

RROD x4 + expiring extended warranty, Microwave Oven + Disc scratching lawnmower + non-BRs + 50 USD Live per year + no Wifi + no HDMI port + no "affordable" upgradable HD + HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE value for your money (see: http://blogs.pcworld.com/ga...

haha well I'm the writer of the article and I'm in no way an Xbot. Clever name, though. I got a 360 a year and a half ago, but it red-ringed and I just gave up on it and got my money back. I would've preferred to have gotten a PS3, but that crackhead offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. I love that thing now, though.
