Why would you hate on the xbox? it actually made an attempt at looking different.
how many consoles do you know that actually incorporate their name in the design of the console. saturn and DC are just boxes..
xbox is awesome, it has a fucking giant X on the top. the only thing that could have made it better is if it had lit up, like the prototype did.

Dude. The MVS does not output S-Video. It outputs RGB. And so does the AES. If you want an AES with s-video, because of some obscure fetish there is a friendly guy called Jeff Kurtz. Who does that for you. For a pretty penny.

"Dude", SNK couldn't even be assed to solder in a converter board? They charged PC prices for the damn thing and only offered most consumers in the US a composite-out? The thing should have had every kind of connector on it for what they charged for it.
So not only is the AES in an ass-ugly case, most buyers only got to see it in BEAUTIFUL early-90s fuzzy composite.

>>7013692
Thanks. The CD version is also butt-ugly too.

PS: The AES is still VERY awesome. It was the only affordable way to play proper arcade games. Think about how much an arcade machine cost in the 90s, and the AES allowed you to swap games like the MVS. Killer deal. Just hide it on a dark shelf.

Very true, aside from being a MS thing it was very well put together.
very easy to mod/repair/clean, and pretty damn powerful too.

I just wish they had spend a little bit more time on the colors, it would have been nice if the X on top had been green or something.
just google xbox paint mods and almost everybody painted theirs in a way to make the X stand out better, that should have been a stock design.

the xbox is a nice looking system. It has a balance of sleek and smooth areas, contrasted with textured and detailed ones on the sides. It has a splash of color in the center as a small accent. It has just a bit of silver, so the predominant black color scheme still has a small amount of trim to it with the green and silver to catch your eye.

how weak are you? it was just a few pounds. my old laptop from 2003 weighs more than the xbox. unless you are holding it like a retard why would that matter? the hdd was based and negated the need to buy any fucking memory cards. both the gamecube and the nintendo forced you to buy like 4 of those fucking things.
