Consoles: a white Christmas?

So the holidays are coming. And don't we all hate black equipment? That's so 1980's!

To go all white, what's the wisest thing to do?

The worst website ever created by a human?

AllroundGamer6776d ago

you call TheMart a human?? interesting... :)

In fact the ALL WHITE equipment sounds great, it will look more high tech, more modern, it stands out more and looks great in my white and seafoam green living room.

Biphter6776d ago

They all go piss yellow with age. Saying that I still love my Dreamcast even if it looks like its pissed its pants ;)

Remember when everyone wanted things to be all oak colored, then all blonde oak colored then all black colored, well now it's a white colored.

It's called a wash cloth? you know you use it to clean house sometimes. A broom and mop works to, for the other parts of your house.

Black electronics look like 1970's stereos, nondescript and outdated.

White electronics look like a colour chosen *other* than the default, it shows that a choice was made. It stands out as unique.

Im reporting this simply because its will end up as no more than fanboy bait.

Look at all the abuse of the reporting system. How sad. The SDF doesnt like it, so they try and bury it.

Biphter6776d ago

So I agree so far. But the new black is Piano black. Its just annoying keeping it clean looking.

wageslave, 70's electronics was mostly made with chrome and Wood. That look was about again in a mimiced fashion about 5 years ago. The black thing is the mid 80's to mid 90's period. But there is a big difference now, shiny and rounded compared to matt and square of the 80's and 90's.

My Shiny black PS3 And Shiny Black Samsung TV Look great sat on my pure white living room wall. The only problem is i've developed a compulsive disorder. I am constantly wiping them down with a lint free cloth (that came free with the TV). The slightest marks show up like a beacon.

As I said above, the problem with White is that after a few years (no matter how hard you try to keep them out of the sun and smoke free) White plastic yellows. I've tried all sorts of things to bring my beautiful Dreamcast back to its original colour, and nothing works (not even soaking the casing overnight in mild bleach as alot of people suggested from the days back with PC Engine). It depends on the plastic quality overall, but generally internal heat will make that sexy white thing look a bit old and mukky eventually.

RiceFiend6776d ago

"racist connotations?"

lol, that's exactly what I was thinking. The writer's use of words does seem like a big indicator that the comments are a bit racist. Whether or not this true or if this was not deliberate is debatable.

gta_cb6776d ago

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle25d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg31d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree31d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai31d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde32d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy32d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12532d ago (Edited 32d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
