Posted May 5, 2009 Actually, he was Saruman the White until he went a bit crazy and Gandalf the grey became Gandalf the White. But before he went crazy, he wasn't really a bad guy opposing Gandalf - even if he didn't approve of all his antics. Its grey by the way Jeez DuD, I thought you'd have my back on this one - traitor If it was sold under the guise of being black then it is black, in the eyes of the seller and consumer BLACK I SAY! Another excellent point - a clincher if ever I saw one. Hey DomJcg, have I told you lately that I love you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 6, 2009 Only read the first post, but Puple Gamecubes pwnd Black ones, that did look a bit shit. Also, the Wii shamelessly followed the trendsetting Apple, which is fine. And it doesn't need curves, and it's position and width is perfect when in the stand (which adds to it's aesthetic appeal), and overall works with it's "sharp" edges, giving the impression of maturity and sleekness for the casual/adult gamer, but also simplicity for the family market.

Although, I think they're probably kicking themselves that they didn't release the Wii in Aluminum Colored Plastic with black trim rather than white, seeing as white glossy plastic was starting to go out of style when the Wii came out.

Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) It is currently impossible to manufacture an absolute black. The darkest material ever made by man reflects only 0.45% of light (black reflects no light at all). Therefore, Gamecube cannot, technically, be black- it is dark grey, a very, very, very, very, very dark grey. Do i get a medal?

Posted May 6, 2009 Do i get a medal? You get a Black Gamecube, attached to a chain to put around your neck, there's your medal. Gamecube = Blaaaaaaaaaack! N64 = Charrrrrrcoaaaaaal Grrrrrrrrrrey! You 'know' it makes sense... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 6, 2009 I would always refer to my Gamecube as black. My eyes, unfortunately, can't distinguish the 0.45% between black and very, very, very, very, very dark grey. I'm not that good. Although, i understand the point of calling it charcoal/impossibly grey. Its not physically possible to make black- and our darkest material is certainly not used in Gamecube. .

Posted May 6, 2009 Its not physically possible to make black- and our darkest material is certainly not used in Gamecube. . In that case, if the GC isn't black on account of this then this means that the N64 id definitely NOT BLACK by default as it is undeniably lighter in tone than the GC. So it is Charcoal Grey or Dark Grey... [/thread] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 6, 2009 Right then the blacks lose [/dodgy phrasing] teehee So it is Charcoal Grey or Dark Grey... Is that the new debate?? I can see another title change My vote is still dark grey. Jeez DuD, I thought you'd have my back on this one - traitor I've been working against you from day one... moo-wha-ha-ha :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 6, 2009 Isn't brown the new black? Either way, the N64 is either Charcoal Grey / Dark Grey so it has no relevance to that but.... Are you trying to say that the Gamecube is Brown?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2009 Well, the GCN was officially called "Jet", they never claimed it was black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2009 Well, the GCN was officially called "Jet", they never claimed it was black. I know they called the Orange Gamecubes in Japan "Spice". What did Nintendo call the purple gamecubes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 9, 2009 I seem to remember something about it not being purple at all but rather 'royal blue' or 'regal blue' or some other honorable shade of blue in japan. Either way though it looked purple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
