I do like that. It's probably already been posted, so I won't look or post my own pic, but I do like the Japanese Saturn a lot. It just seems so competent to the task of gaming. It's such a generic console, it has a kind of old fashion charm, like a typewriter or something.

its an interesting philosophy to have both analog sticks up top, and everything else on bottom, especially on the right side. Not sure if thats really been done on a big console release before, not sure what to make of it, really. Hopefully it wont be awkward.

It seems logical, the triggers have to be really good, if they suck the grip won't be firm and it'll be hard to get a handle on.

Oddly I'm more excited to play the regular controller. So I keep handling my 360 pad as they look so similar.

Wii U Gamepad is awesome of course as well

Hori N64 pad, a real improvement over the first party controller.

Probably the only person to say this: I'm liking the new super-slim PS3.

I'll make the main point first, just look how tiny it is! I used the official shot for sense of scale, it's the length of one and a half Dualshock's.

And just a bit taller than a Blu-Ray case..

It may have the return of the fingerprint magnet glossy plastic but it doesn't seem to be a high finger traffic area since you use the eject button to open the slider.

Obligatory rooftop shot:

^ TBH I agree. I like it. I esp love it being a top loader. I hate slot drives.

I really wanted an orange gamecube when it was coming out. I was super depressed when I found out I couldn't get one in America. :(

Settled for a black one with an Orange controller instead but would still like to own an orange one eventually... when I'm old and rich.

60$ aint bad when most places sell a reg GC for 40$ and the GBA player another 20-30$

Yeah, it's not too bad but I can't really justify spending money on a console I already own just for a different color. No matter how cool that color may be... :cry:
