Circaflex Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 same i hope i get picked it does look very nice and ive asked a few people around and they think it could be it and might be final if you look at their site you see glowing "Phantom" under the white sheet and this picture fits it very well.

sdkaneda Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 (edited) looks like tasteless ass. i always love it when a company says, all right guys, let's throw out everything we've elarned about style in the past 30 years and make a big awkward-looking hunk of p!ss that looks like a "counterstrike-style toaster." I hope Sony and Nintendo keep bringing refreshing ideas to the forefront instead of making everything look like a half-assed sci-fi tv show prop. actually, what this looks like is a cheap imitation of xbox styling. just replace black with grey and green with blue. they even went and used the same damn font for the logo. real original. microsoft wasn't the noes to invent the font, though... that font's been around for a while. i forget what it's called though. oh, but "to their credit" they changed around the P a little bit or something. in my opinion, xbox's styling shouldn't be copied. you might think that neon-green-on-black color scheme is cool today while Matrix movies still run in theaters, but wait 6 or 7 years and the PS2 will still look elegant.. even the cube will look not that bad. the xbox with the big poofy shiny buttons and horrible use of space will probably go down in history as one of the uglier things we've created with plastic. and that's a pretty ambitious to say... we've made a LOT of really ugly things with plastic over the years...

Circaflex Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 a ps2 fanboy eh? :p i thought the same thing though ;) i thought it kinda resembled the xbox a little and i i thought i was the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing-Man Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 (edited) It looks like you can slice your wrists on the sides of the box. Still you guys have to admit that logo is pretty cool. Better then PS2, GameCube, and XBox logos. If I was to make a console though, I would have a pirate as a logo. Everyone loves pirates!

Suddenly_Dead Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I want a console that lets you download mods and addons and such! If this does it, i likely would not hesitate making it my next system. I'd like a good feature/specification page. Unveiling: Ultimate Gamers Expo, August 13-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
