oh my god i dont live in a reality that is strictly black or white and i identify nuance according to my own subjective sensibilities, how horrible of an offense i committed!

call it hypocrisy to your hearts content.

Identifying nuance and expressing prejudice towards others for their taste in games, collectibles,  or anything else are not one in the same   the fact that you attempt to call one the other speaks volumes about you

i experience people judging me for my preferences too. do i cry about it? people are so weak minded these days i dont understand why people let such things as people's subjective opinions get under their skin so much. its not like i would treat the sucker who gets tricked into buying this console (because of the consumerist mindset that is constantly being put on us) any differently.. i would just know in my own mind that this individual is.. like that. stop taking it so personally.

bolded: and again, IF IT IS FOR THEIR COLLECTION then i understand the mindset that they are coming from, how many times do i have to reiterate that point?

console looks ok but that controller is pretty ugly

Preach it brother! 

The interesting thing about the design for the "III" is that it looks like it could just be the standard exterior design for the console, if you didn't know the base exterior was plain black/white (on that note an orange on white variant would have looked pretty good too. It's minimalist which means the console doesn't stick out too much in an entertainment unit that might be mostly made up of plain black, white or silver things. The decals on the front, I like the first 3, starting from the left. The angry face one is kinda dumb, IMO. Who wants a frowny face on their console? Not me, but maybe I'm an outlier.

I would have preferred a more muted orange for the controller. For some reason I think that orange makes the controller look cheap, but maybe because I've never really been a fan of bright colours. But again, in terms of not getting all cliché with too much designwork plastered all over the controller I like the generally minimalist approach.

The only person taking anything personally here is you I assure you.   Your willingness to concede only if the item is bought for a collection doesn't address the factual dollar savings I brought up in a previous post. Nor does it do anything but contradict your previous statement about not seeing things in only black and white.

Don't force your religion on me!

You like playing judge on people's preference yet you don't like being judged yourself.

Tough life I must say unless you're the boss. Lol

Looks disgusting tbh but the box stands out at least
