Exterior only, which console looks the best?

[Spino]

I agree. The Revolution looks great and it's alarmingly small size earmarks it as yet another marvel of engineering efficiency and design from Nintendo.

The PS3 looks ok but I agree with you, it looks like more like a non-gaming related peripheral than an actual console.

The XB360 just looks odd, especially with those concave curves. Its design (especially the color scheme) is obviously inspired by Apple's Ipod design. Man I hate that white/off white color!

Rev by far in both size and looks, and probably weight.

"and probably weight."
Why does weight matter, you won't be carrying it around with you?

you won't be carrying it around with you?

You've never brought a console to a friend's house or taken it on a cross-country trip to see the relatives? I don't think it's going to be a lot different than the weight of the other two but still, lighter equals better.
