The best looking console redesigns

Infinite | June 03, 2007 | Reviews | Playstation 2 Playstation

Wow. These consoles are smoking hot! We all know that there have been some ugly looking consoles made but most of the time these consoles get remade eventually. This list goes over the top ten best looking consoles. Definitely worth checking out. I just love the Panasonic Q GameCube.

Console manufacturers never get it right the first time around. Whether it's too big, too ugly, too dim or devoid of memory, you can count on a redesign to right a system's wrongs. In honor of the Xbox 360 Elite, we've picked the ten best console redesigns ever.

I don't agree with all of those choices, but the Panasonic Q GameCube looks pretty cool.

  I agree i didnt like most of them. GBA SP definitely was ment to be on there but not number one. However panasonic Q gamecube was horrific just like NES 2. The NES looks like a slot machine, and the Panasonic Q looks like a damn printer you find in big offices. I mean they werent that cool, and shouldnt have made it. I thought the ps2 slimer version should have been on the top 5.

The PS2 slim overheats to much or at least my friends does. So I hate it. Never knew about that panasonic Q Gamecube. Oh wait it was in Japan so nvm.I actually liked the Gameboy Pocket. I wish I still had it. PS1 new one was alright. It's what I had. Never even knew there was a NES 2 but it looks horrible. Xbox 360 Elite shouldn't be on there. DS Lite was definately worth making and same with the GBA SP. The list is ok but some needed to be switched around.

I would of definitely bought the Panasonic Q Gamecube if it was released over here. That thing looks hot.

The GBA SP is probably the best redesign ever. The original GBAdvanced was big, clunky, and it didn't have a backlight. (what a joke) Thankfully, the SP had a backlight and it was smaller. (because of the clamshell design)

Yeah the SP was so much better =o. The DS looked kind of funny but I bought it regardless then 2 years later they released the freaking light XD. Now that's hawt. XD.

Most of these redesigned are ugly but I reckon that there are only 10 ever that are worthy to even mention.Elite is good but thats because the other ones suck.

Yes, the PS2 Slim does overheat, but mine never crashes because of that. I think the PS2 Slim must be built for it.
The GBA SP definitely deserved to be on there because the normal GBA's screen is just so hard to see, even on a bright sunny day. And the flip-top design really does reduce scratches on the screen.
The Panasonic Q Gamecube was shocking - in a good way. But I think they went a bit over the top with the design of it though. They've made it look like a metallic tank.

I liked the ratings on that list. The SP is a good one, since when I first tried it, it was unbelievably clear. Now, since I tried it at my friend's house, I use my GBA, and it's as smudged and unclear as you can believe. The Panasonic GameCube would be so darn popular if they brought it over to the US, since you can listen to the radio and play GameCube, plus, play DVD's better than the XBOX and PS2.

Wow. The Panasomic Q Gamecube has to have the hardest name to remember. Xbox, Playstation, Game Boy, I mean those are easy, but the PQG has a mouthful. Despite the name, the system looks awesome. I wish I had one of those.
