Looks lopsided and top-heavy

PS2 wasn't just about the console. It was about the games too, and the menu, the intro noise. Pure unfiltered kino.

All time yeah ok

>>10641438
Oh I get it, you posted one of the most bland-looking consoles of all time as a joke. Very funny anon.

>>10641464
You're under the illusion that it's bland because you were a zoomer that wasn't there. It's not the PS2s fault it was so good it sold 155m units.

>>10641445
Will these boot and play US Genesis/Sega CD games?
Also is it 32X compatible? I kinda want one...

>>10641472

>>10641438
used to hide my weed in the slot where the ethernet adapter would go.

Literally stolen from an unreleased prototype.

>>10641474
I remember hearing that it's not 32x compatible, something about the way it outputs video.

>>10641456
This.

>>10641438
You're delusional. Dreamcast > PS2

>>10641438
Please qualify that statement because it falls far short.

>>10641438
It is an Atari design, after all. I'm not a Sony guy but very much enjoy the design.

nothing comes close

>>10641542
They legally licensed it from Atari. And at that point I'm sure Atari was more than happy to license it.

>>10641808
OK Mark from Classic Game Room

>>10641438
Nope. It's pic related by a distance. Pity it has games.

>>10641438

>>10641438
the menu music is an absolutely unmatched aesthetic, and this comes from someone whose favorite that gen was xbox

Anon.. this is /vr/ the chances are much bigger that you're talking to a 45 year old guy who feels that PS2 was the beginning of the end.
to me the PS2 IS a zoomer console, its not your idea of le retro olde console of yore.

PS2 is where everything became the same, PS2/PS3/Xbox360/etc all the same kinda thing.

>>10641979
>PS2/PS3/Xbox360/etc all the same kinda thing
that's because you were already past your teenage years in the 2000s. in-between the exchange of 6th/7th generations is where we saw the most creativity (peaking in 2007) and variance of games.

>>10641445
That looks like a 90s cd player

Too bad sega didn't put as much time in making a big library as they put in designing their consoles aesthetics

>>10641447
Read my mind.

>>10642065
>Too bad sega didn't put as much time in making a big library
would this have saved sega?

>>10641438
I don't care if you disagree, I really like the look of this combo.

>>10641438
ENTER.

>>10641447
The PC Engine looks a lot better
>>10641789

>>10641438
What aesthetic?

>>10641438
Even the PSX had more aesthetic going on, and that looked like a Fisher Price toy.

>>10641438

>>10641967
>neither gray nor black
N64 looks like shit both next to an old CRT and next to a modern TV.

>>10641438
PS2 Slim is the actual most aesthetic looking console ever
The black piano detail and the logo is just fucking perfect.

>>10641474
Apparently the 32x is, but it blocks the CD door and won't fit properly without removing the little ring thing that surrounds the cartridge connector on the underside.

>>10641445
That is a clown gadget

The Atari 2600 is the best looking.

>>10644012
PS2 slim get second place.

>>10641542
The designs are complete opposites of each other. Like in a literal sense everything is the opposite.

>>10641442
>he didn't put the 32x on top

>>10641438
Pulled mine out of the cabinet it had been chilling in for a long time the other day only to find out it can't read disks no more

>>10644435
Take it apart and clean the laser lens and it might just work. My late model fat ps2 still works but I've had to maintenance it in this way a couple times but it ended up working as good as when it was new. It's much easier to access in slim ps2s since you don't have to take it apart.

I always thought the Sega Dreamcast was a very pretty console. So compact compared to the Sega Saturn that preceded it, and the stylings at the back made it look aerodynamic and neat.

>>10644435
The lubricant in the drive assembly has most likely dried up and hampers the drive. You have to clean it and replace it whit a fresh one.

>>10641442

>add-ons

>>10643393
Agreed, but the system still has the same design language, just extending one side a bit longer and centering/raising the CD platform behind. NEC has made some good looking cases even the the PC realm, and they have a futuristic "mecha" sort of element that appeals to me.

>>10644548
The disc drives could be combined with the main system and still look better than a stock PS2 in my opinion.

Hot take: the most aesthetic retro console is the Sega Saturn. Especially the Japanese games having the gold banner.

>>10641438
Japanese TG-16 with CD-ROM add-on beats anything other than MAYBE the Atari 2600.

>>10641472
>old fart uses zoomer as an insult

>>10641438
2nd most.
>>10641442
1st most

>>10641445
Holy shit. Pure sex

>>10641438
Thats not even the most Æsthetic PS2

>>10641789
This is indeed the sexiest console in history.

>>10641438

>>10641438
I genuinely ADORE TecToy's gray SEGA Mega Drive released in Brazil during the late 90's... really the 2nd model was already sleek in my eyes, but the gray color makes it even better.

>>10641789
Genuinely looks like something you'd see on a spaceship

>>10641438
its not even the most aesthetic console of that generation..

>>10644427
32X on the model 1 set ruins the round/angular aesthetic the pair had going on. 32X pairs much better with a model 2 set, but still looks a bit awkward jutting out of the top of the system.

>>10641438
It really is, although the PS1 and Dreamcast are up there too.

>>10644012

>>10641474
You can just get a JVC X'Eye, it's the same as the second version of the WonderMega.

>>10641675
It depends on the version, but the WonderMega pictured definitely is. The final revision of both the WonderMega and the X'Eye removed the proprietary AV Multi Out in favor of just having RCA composite out, and the 32x needs to use the Sega Genesis AV Multi plug out in order to combine its own video signal with the Genesis. Technically someone could make a custom cable that turns the RCA Composite out from the WonderMega/X'Eye into an input that the 32x can use, but we're talking about a custom plug for a rare variant of a rare console to be used for a rare add on, so I doubt anyone would care to do so. or it could be super simple, I've never used a 32x so maybe you can just plug a standard genesis AV cable backwards into the 32x, i don't fucking know

>>10641789
the PCE-CD always struck me as being a really weird design, why did they make the disc drive and the interface unit separate pieces if you fucking need the interface unit to connect the disc drive to the base console?

>>10645503
shit
