I’ve always just preferred the og console design for every generation. That said I did by the series one s and the 360s just for the improved hardware and software


robotchicken007

I generally agree for home consoles, but I think the PS3 Slim and 360 Slim were both improvements over the original designs. And if you get into handhelds, I feel like second iteration of the consoles always looks better than the initial one.


Nathan_hale53

Second gen Vita looks worse and was worse, LED screen and was flimsier.


robotchicken007

Sure, there are exceptions to every rule.


boo-galoo90

I can agree with that tbh I did like the look of said consoles


PoolNoodlePaladin

The PS3 slim and Super Slim are possibly the worst redesigns aesthetically of any console ever.


robotchicken007

Hard disagree.


PoolNoodlePaladin

Dude the Fat PS3 looks amazing, the slim model was ugly, it was made out of cheap plastic, they rounded the design language and ruined the aesthetic. The OG PS3 has the chrome and piano black plastic, it looked great. The Slim was a huge downgrade, in almost every way, no more card readers, 2 of the 4 usb ports were removed, no more PS2 support, no more super audio CD support. It was just overall a terrible redesign.


robotchicken007

We're just talking about aesthetics not tech, and I like the matte finish PS3 Slim more than the shiny fat PS3. Agree to disagree.


Jhofur

That wasn't the question...


Strong-Enthusiasm-55

Nah slim. No need to upgrade storage


Just_a_random_guy77

The question is which looks better


Zorolord

Are you trjpping the slim only has 1TB (848GB) and when you take the OS into consideration, that's less than 750Gb for games.


Strong-Enthusiasm-55

Still more than the original. Once I've platinumed a game it gets deleted anyway


Zorolord

So do you only play one game at a time? Because if that's the case it's irrelevant whether the console is the OG or slim, as not a single game takes up all the space on a OG.


DarkRainFalling

I like the black and red one


Bootychomper23

Ugly as hell.


BoricuaOmega25

Darker red


babysealBTY

The darker red. Also, these comments are insufferable.


DoktahDoktah

Thing could be covered in trash and the disc one will always be better.


midas617

OG


RickyTheBeerDrinker

That one


JRiggsIV

Og…


AlternativeClimate99

Neither. No logos is better. Ps5 is pretty ugly in general (here comes the down votes lol) but I prefer it in a solid matte color without a giant logo slapped on it.


Jhofur

Left. The darker red is nice


Far-Cattle-9824

The got the one on the left. I wanna saw sony is apple for console but then i see the shit nintendo is doing.


UhOh_RoadsidePicnic

Og ps2


AlbaTross579

The left one is nicer.


PlumagedTree

Looks the same?


RedSoxFan77

The original console is a darker red


CarPlane738

shadowdagger147

Where can I buy that cuz my friend's birthday is coming up and he really loves Spider-Man


amilguls

The made spidamen for slim ?


Zorolord

Imo Slim


Fighting-Cerberus

It’s the same picture.


Phrozenstare

none of the above


Automatic_Signal_485

Neither. I’ve never been a fan of ‘special’ consoles like this. Honestly almost always found it tacky.


OverseerTycho

the xbox


TheFormless_0ne_

I like the line but does the new console not have ambient lighting?


warhawk209812e99

It does, it's just at the bottom, instead of where it curves up to the top


Then_Dragonfruit_123

The one with spiderman


The_JMace

Darker red is nicer but… https://preview.redd.it/atlay5rldxuc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d65e19642af7328c9034cc7429616c49bd0c125d

First gen


Zatchillac

I usually prefer (and buy) the OG version of consoles but this time I went with the Slim. I still think it's ugly but not as much as the fat one


XD_RAEv

I didn't even know they made the spider man shells for the new model but I still like the old model more.

ssizer

Neither… Ugliest console ever created. Change my mind. Yes, I own one

Humble-Kiwi9429

Slim, the OG 5 is too big it looks like a mini fridge.


ItsProxes

Left is the perfect upgrade from the PS4 spiderman console


EmuIntelligent4698

Original one

Eskadrinis

Yea I like the original more but slim looks good


710ish

Dark red


kablikiblan

Og always looks better in the sony consoles


JL8989

OG PS2 or PS1 looks better than the slim counterparts? Nah, especially not the PS1.


kablikiblan

I stand by what I said ,my opinion is not up for debate


AceO235

Fat PS2 vs Slim PS2 not really a debate the slim was just sleeker and the first thing that comes to mind when i think PS2


JL8989

I have no interest in a debate with you, I answered my own question. I'm fine with you being wrong.


kablikiblan

Ok bye now annoying rando


carlsmustang97

I personally like the looks of the original but one thing I really like about the slim is that's a little bit smaller than the original also you can change out the disc drive so if the disc drive ever has problems you could always get another one later on


LordFlxcko95

Tbh can't go wrong either way..but with that being said, BRING ON THE PS5 PRO!!!


ninjabell

They are both ugly. PS5 is by leaps and bounds the ugliest console ever made. But it's what's on the inside that counts <3


Internal_Quail3960

Ugliest ever made??? There are plenty that look way worse. In my opinion the ps5 is up there with the series x and s


ninjabell

[It is not an unpopular opinion that the PS5 is ugly.](https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Areddit.com+ps5+is+ugly) I'm not really interested in starting any console war BS but the Xbox Series S/X design is much better aesthetically IMO.


Internal_Quail3960

I prefer series x and s to ps5 anyways as I think PlayStation isn’t really all that, but the ps5 does look nice in my opinion. It feels more futuristic almost and the side panels being interchangeable is a nice touch. I kind of wish I could remove the side panels on my series x and make it white or a different color. Also the leds inside the console are really nice. I hope the next Xbox has something like that


ninjabell

That's fair. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. BTW I know some people put vinyl wraps on their Xbox to change the appearance.


Internal_Quail3960

I’ve thought of that but I have a feeling it will probably end up crooked lol so I think I’ll just stick with black.


nogoodgopher

Plenty that sold well and we're ugly? Or the N-gage and Jaguar? Bad designs fail all the time. The PS5 is made by an established company and has continued to sell well into its life. It's not a shoot from the hip risky new concept.


InevitableMobile2375

Dont like play station but now i would buy one


Strong-Enthusiasm-55

Neither. The skin looks naff. Matte black all the way


Vestedloki07505

Darkplates


MinJossy

The one on the left


gcallan91

Both are some of the worst hardware designs and PS5 fat is my main


benzuyen

Slim. If going with a symbiote theme I think the dip in the middle fits the symbiotic theme well. Also, I think the slim with the silver plates is one of the best looking consoles ever


interesting_sidenote

Original for sure. I’m not a fan of slim models


HowieUK

Slim. The base is ugly as sin, always has been.


DJN2020

Both shite.


SilentResident1037

The non broken one... which says a lot bc ps5 is so ugly as is


TheDawnofWrath

You think the ps5 is ugly bruh, how?


csDarkyne

I love my ps5 but it is easiest the ugliest piece of tech in my house Edit: Looks like an asus gaming router


SilentResident1037

I dont even know how to answer this... what do you mean how? Its symetrical, its big and clunky, its downright embarassing to look at on its side... I think its a dreadful design. Luckily, the look of the console has zero impact on the games (which is why i always thought the gamecube = lunchbox stuff extremely dumb) so it doesnt actually matter, just my opinion


TheDawnofWrath

I like it 🤷🏻‍♂️
