After a chat in the Wii U thread about how the GameCube is the best looking piece of plastic ever and also a ridiculous cube shaped lunch box, I wondered what your opinions of console aesthetics were and also, which are some of the best and worst examples?
Obviously in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter too much what a console looks like as long as it provides you with hours of entertainment but that's not to say we can't appreciate (or indeed mock) some of the best and worst looking consoles out there.
With that in mind, after talking a lot about the GameCube I couldn't help but think about it's beautiful half brother - the Panasonic Q. Surely this is the best looking console of all time.
What are your thoughts? Can anything beat this beast? Also, what are some of the worst examples out there. In my opinion, the European SNES models were pretty awful. Mainly because I see so many in second-hand stores now with that awful yellow tinge.
