No there has not.

cheaaaaaaap

>>5777087
Of course there has.

>>5777183
That's nowhere near as sleek.

>>5777087
Yes.

>>5777201
They should use that in dictionaries as an example of the word "boxy".

>>5777205
And in industrial design textbooks as an example of an aesthetically pleasing product.

>>5777209
I doubt it, it's neither sleek nor elegant enough for that. It's boxy, grey, big, oddly proportioned yet still dull. The PSone is cute, bright, tiny and makes the original PS aesthetics into something elegant.

>>5777087
This looks awful, classic ps is a million times better

The PSone is just a rip-off of the Dreamcast's aesthetic.

>>5777087
>>5777093
>>5777221
/o/ often criticizes cars of the same era as looking like bars of soap but the PSOne quite literally had the exact proportions and color of a bar of soap

>Namefag thinks he is allowed an opinion

>>5777262
Cars are meant to be sharp and boxy. A rounded console is something unique given how the standard is rectangular and comes in either black or grey coloring.

It's a games console, not a fucking supercar. The Wondermega looks like a high-end Hi-Fi separate. The PS1, on the other hand, looks like a Fisher-Price console for girls. You have no taste, and no testosterone.

>>5777312
>The Wondermega looks like a high-end Hi-Fi separate.
>the "READY" and "ACCESS" makes it cool

>>5777087
Is it still worth getting one or would it be best to softmod a PS3?

>>5777321
>When you have to resort to infantile nitpicking
You sad, pathetic, desperate little bitch. You are laughable.

>>5777335
>Getting this offended by someone not liking the aesthetics you do
Yikes!

>>5777312
I think the Wondermega would look better than the PSone if it was white. White hardware always looks better (as long as it doesn't yellow).

>>5777330
3D games on PS1 and PS2 are literally best emulated. Gamecube and Wii too.

>>5777312
>not appreciating the rounded blobby styling of the Y2K era
That design was intentional for the time it released.

>>5777342
Nah. With I think the exception of no Twin Famicom I've already got black examples of every console and if money were no object I would have them all refinished in Japan by hand with Urushi lacquer, the best fast food sandwich.

I owned the PSOne, but I honestly think the original looked better. The PSOne feels too small, and, especially with the portabelt screen, it reminds me of those kid’s ‘laptops’ that you can/could buy in toy stores.

>>5777251
This looks great, but I sadly never owned a Dreamcast.

>>5777353
I guess it comes down to personal preference. See for me that's a bit jarring since it contrasts so much with the white wall. Then again, white everything might look like an asylum to some so I get where you're coming from. That does look real nice though. You got any pics of what it looks like on a CRT?

>>5777363
I think the main selling point for it was so that it was portable enough for kids to play the games on family road trips.

Laserdisc offers the highest bandwidth purely analog composite video signal you can get, captured directly from the film masters (never-digital) so imagine the warmth of VHS but more refined.

>>5777381
Damn, that does look good, anon. I was thinking of getting a Betamax player, but now I'm on the fence for that Laserdisc.

A challenger approaches!

*blocks your path*

>>5777387
I have a tiny bit of betamax just for the sake of having it and the sound is pretty awful. I have about 300 laserdiscs though

>>5777386
If there's such thing as kawaiicore, this would be the dictionary definition of it.

*pushes you out of the way*

>>5777087
PS1 and PS2 Slim both looked very nice
Sony used to do beautiful industrial design. The company changed a lot after Norio Ogha retired. Lots of restructuring and the departure of a lot of old veteran talent.

>>5777548
Is it terrible that I prefer the Jr?

>>5777339
>Yikes!
Vomiting this bile, and thinking that you don't sound like an imbecile. Piss off, wretch.

>>5777350
>That design was intentional for the time it released.
So was the Lamborghini Countach, the McLaren F1, the Ferrari Testarossa, and any number of supercars, but they all still look the shit today. The PS1 will always look horrible.

>>5777634

Oof, I think I'm gonna cry now.

>>5777350
>That design was intentional for the time it released.
The same can be said for the Lamborghini Countach, the McLaren F1, the Ferrari Testarossa, and any number of supercars, but they all still look the shit today. The PS1 has always looked horrible, and it always will.

Step aside

>>5777660
Or you could just kill yourself, you father fucking, horse cock sucking, shit eating, to-child-porn-meat-beating, worthless, inbred, retarded bastard son of a two cent perpetually-ashamed-to-have-pushed-you-out-of-her-toxic-malodorous-cunt crack whore mother.

Top kek, this has to be a joke right? You're not that mad are you? Wondermega is an ugly piece of cheap plasticky shit.

>>5777548
*crushes you*

>>5777280
>cars shouldn't be aerodynamic but video game consoles should

>>5777690
No, mad would be dedicating my existence to finding you, murdering you, burning you body, and then feeding you to my dogs. Actually, scratch that; mad would be finding you, torturing you until you give me the whereabouts of your loved ones, killing you, raping all of your friends/family (I'll just assume family, as you're an unlikable virgin faggot) to death, and THEN feeding all of you to my dogs. :D

>>5777691
I will never not think there is a Rolling Rock hiding in that paneling

>>5777242
Yep. The original also has a smooth-opening lid. The PSOne's lid pops open like it's broken.

>>5777663
>the Lamborghini Countach, the McLaren F1, the Ferrari Testarossa, and any number of supercars, but they all still look the shit today.
According to who? You? I think those three (in terms of design, not performance) look much better than the soulless supercars of today. A better example, compare the Supra of then to the Supra now.
>The PS1 has always looked horrible, and it always will.
Again, this is a matter of personal preference. I thought it looked unique at the time and it's probably aged the best. If you don't like it, then that's your call.

Do handhelds count?

This system is so dope.

>>5778051
>the shit
>as in good
So, you both are actually in agreement. Huzzah! Or something...

>>5778095
Yes, they do. Translucent green. I like it. Everyone who disagrees can dine on my pubes.

>>5777087

>>5777087

>>5778146
Wtf is that, and where can I get one

>>5778167
I got one of these as a gift back then. For a short while, it was pretty good as a little emulation/Navi-X box that ran PS1 pretty well and N64 ok-ish
The controller was pretty bad. I just used a DS3

>>5777183
very nice.

*blocks your path*
also PAL SNES/Super Famicom

*steals your lunch money and shits in your backpack*

Move over plebs. Coolest system coming through.

>>5777087
The original PS, the Saturn, the Dreamcast. The N64.
The Sega SG-1000 II and the Mark III. The SMS. The Genesis. Really, literally every Sega home console except the first SG-1000.
Not /vr/, but the slim PS2.

I could keep going, mostly by just naming random fucking systems.
the PSone makes me think of the fucking Beetle

>>5777609
it kinda is
it's just kind of really ugly in a vacuum, let alone next to the original VCS
it's this weird looking wedge

>>5777262
I miss the bar of soap days. The angry scowl look of today is tired.

>>5777408
Looks like a gun magazine for an AR or something, I like it.

it actually is.

still PSOne wins the race. I like the original as well as the color translucent N64s as well.

>>5777908
Ah man, you should make a copypasta out of this. It's like a edgy and shit version of the Taken "I'll find you, then I'll kill you" speech, classic!

>>5778850
Why would you post this when the similar but obviously superior standard grey Saturn exists? You quirky nerd you.

>>5777691
*blinds you*

>>5777251
Dreamcast's design was strictly inspired by sports cars. It's inspired by a Dodge Viper if I remember correctly.

Who gives a shit. It still looks much better.

Japanese Saturn is still the GOAT

I can't be the only one who adores the ever loving fuck out of the SNES2 right?

>>5777087
Looks shittier than the original model.

That recent Dreamcast documentary on YouTube had people say it was designed by an Italian but no further information beyond that. I wouldn't doubt it if they used flashy sports cars as an influence though.

>>5778749
>>5778146
not retro

>>5780929
nah I don't see it. I think it was more inspired from this car

>>5780931
Too bad the controllers were utter shit

Amateurs...

Cassette Vision Jr

>>5777183
All-in-one disk/cartridge consoles look utterly amazing.

>>5777087
I like the Dreamcast better, but the PSone is a great design.

new cars look like edgy shit trying too hard to look "futuristic"

>>5782231
naaah

>>5777087
I love the look of the N64. It has such a distinct silhouette and nice curves and lines in all the right places.

>>5778825
>>5784019
I love the look of 80s and early 90s cars. They look so clean and sleek. Not those big boxy muscle cars of the 60s and 70s, but also not as tryhard and over-designed as post-2000 cars. Cars since 2010 look really bulbous in an awkward way, too. But those 80s and 90s cars? Beautiful.

>>5784019
No. You moron. Cars from every era tried to look newer and more expensive than their era.

You literally just posted an example of a car that sucked because it focused on trying to be newer than Honda could handle. Looked like a poor mans half baked ferrari/lambo combo with none of the things people liked from those companies.
