Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

Around the Network

Xbox series X

The PS5 looks like something I wouldn't want to own.



PS5 physical
I heard some say the digital edition seems like the standard, and the physical like an afterthought with the lump on its side. But what can I say, I like the sexy lump. - Just thought of it: "my humps" as a start up sound woud be epic.



I like the look of the XSX mostly because it's unobtrusive. I like my game consoles to blend, not to flash.



Series X looks better. Especially when lit up by the green LEDs inside it.

They are all quite ugly. PS5DE if I was forced to choose.



Series X has an ugly form, but otherwise it's the best. Series S is almost cute, but I don't really expect a console to look like a speaker... PS5 is OK but it's trying too hard to look classy. Overall, Series X is the best even though I'm not a huge fan, Series S comes next because while it's a tad ugly, it looks like a console, whereas PS5 gets the last place for trying too much. Both new Xbox consoles would fit quite nicely in my home, but PS5 would look seriously out of place.

Overall, this is probably the worst console generation in terms of looks since 3D became a thing. I mean, Swich is neat, but it's kind of in its own league, and all other 3D generations have had at least one decent-looking console. Actually the 8th generation has probably been the best one so far in terms of looks because all consoles look at least decent.



Wihtout the black circle its an easy win for Xbox Series S
But for what it is, I like the simple design of Xbox Series X.
Ps5 is just hard to look at.



Pocky Lover Boy! 

The Xbox Series X looks new, clean, and bold. I would say the Series S if its vent was colored white instead of black.

The PS5 just does not look good.Its huge, its bulky, its asymmetrical. I can already see used PS5s on store shelves with the plastic wings being broken off.

Why couldn't Microsoft just paint the Xbox logo on the side of the Series S instead of leaving it plain black ? Could have e actually been the best designed one out of this bunch of passable designs.

Dealing with what we have, I prefer XSeX in this case ...

I suspect they did it so it doesn't look too similar to the Xbox One S.
