The Ps3 super slim.
The pictures don't really capture how truly ugly it was.
It's not just the design, it's how cheap all the materials looked and felt. The ugly grills on top, the glossy sides which attract scratches and fingerprints, the fact you need to manually slide it open.

It's like a $20 no brand DVD player.

I never realized how small it was.

While I enjoy my PlayStation 5, I think it's the most awkward and ugly thing I've ever had.

 

[Kvally]

That thing is sexy as hell.

 

[sono]

I am with the op. Interesting so many think the PS5 is the ugliest console evr made

 

[12Goblins]

Yea, I'm not sure what they were thinking with the PS5... Looks cheap and unsightly

Let's have a dual

VS:

this is the right answer. I wouldn't be caught dead with that shit in my living room

 

[sono]

This is the thread for the ugliest console ever made not the best portable games console

Vertical isn't too bad. But still a bit of an eyesore. Horizontal is just BAD. However, a vertical BLACK PS5?

 

[UnNamed]

Useful design

It's far from it, its big sure and it was definitely not made to be horizontal ( like most Playstation's after the PSX, minus the PS3 Slim)
But you can't take everyone's opinions seriously.
I mean when you hear " PS5 is ugly and looks like a modem/WiFi router etc" ( which it does, no denying that ) with " XSX is sleek design" in the same sentence.
you have to question their opinion.
Especially when you have this sitting next to you

I honestly think I'd get them confused with a certain console next to it.

Hey that’s the same thing I do with my girlfriend

This looks great until you realize the size of the thing on your TV stand.

 

[Marvel]

I avert my gaze when I accidentally look at my PS5, so that.

 

[damidu]

ps5 disc is pretty up there tbh, ironically i like the look of digital edition

 

[Son_of_Zardoz]

PS5 for anything remotely recent. I don't think Sony ever made a bad-looking PS until it (not talking about how the materials feel, just how they look).

Recent Xboxes have been boring looking but I'll take a non-descript black box over a huge two-toned popped collar thing any day of the week. I hope Sony makes make something more in line with the PS3 Slim when they update the PS5.

 

[Banjo64]

fr this is the only way to display the ps5;

 

[Moses85]

I dunno, I love it, but the PS5 is one ugly bitch.

 

[Krathoon]

I would say the Atari Jaguar. Way too many buttons. Did they actually use all them?

 

[Krathoon]

The PS5 is pretty much too damn big. I had to put mine behind the TV.

There is actually an emulator out there that supports Jaguar CD. Just a fun fact.

this ugly beast

 

[Krathoon]

Anyone know of a place that repairs old game consoles?

 

[supernova8]

Fair enough, maybe I would've too but after getting three RRODs (granted they fixed them all for free but still) I wasn't really in the mood to give Microsoft any more of my cash at that point in time.

This. Fucking. Hideous. Thing. Horrible way to follow up on the Duo. PC-FX

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Virtual Boy is bad looking to start with. Made even worse when a gamer is sitting there playing it. Look at this disaster.

 

[LordBlodgett]

Atari Jaguar was super ugly. Sega Genesis with the 32x installed looked so stupid. My first Xbox One was super boring, but not ugly per se. I used to say the original PS3, but somehow that design has grown on me since it's been sitting there over the years. PS5 is currently the absolute ugliest to me. I don't have one yet, and I'm still hoping they make a slim or something soon, because I'm at the point I have a load of games I want to play on it and it is now widely available, but it's so Fucking huge and ugly!

Oh Lord, forgot this one.....................................That's ugly

ugly as fuck, but the easy to reach drive mechanism will most likely make it the easiest to keep alive lol

 

[LordBlodgett]

Seriously? This thing looks great in comparison to the Jaguar or the PS5. Hell it looks better than the SNES (a console I love by the way). Maybe I have terrible taste, but I quite like this one!

 

[LordBlodgett]

The Telstar Arcade (1977)

Owning this bad boy guarantees that no woman (original or fake) will touch that tiny pecker of yours.

I own like 25 consoles and I never knew this was a thing.........................This is truly ugly!

 

[LordBlodgett]

The 3DO

It is like a dev unit.

I mean, mehhhh. It's average. This isn't butt ugly, but not sexy and fine either......

 

[01011001]

Hell it looks better than the SNES

I'M SORRY?
better than the ugly ass US version maybe, but not better than this beauty!

 

[LordBlodgett]

Apple's Monstrosity.

Possibly one of the worst controllers ever........Design is so nineties it hurts, but still not as butt-ugly as the jaguar from the same era (though I actually think it had worse games)

 

[LordBlodgett]

I don't mind the SNES, and the Wii is pretty sweet in my opinion, but good God that Odyssey is hideous. It feels like it is the seventies idea of a future sewing machine

 

[Davevil]

 

[aygomyownroad]

Playstation 5 is truly terrible design wise.

 

[Gobjuduck]

yea, ps5 is the worst console design. Original DS for handheld.

Seeing the ps5 in person made it worse, while seeing the Xbox series x in person made it better. The series x is relatively compact. I remember people freaking out that it was too big and ugly before the ps5 was ever revealed. PlayStation took that as a challenge and made it uglier and bigger.

 

[U.S.E. CD]

There are probably uglier ones, but it blows my mind that Sony designed their 5th generation console to look like that, it looks ridiculous. Great console all in all, but embarrassing to have it in plain view.


I've never seen the mega drive branded as that before.

That's because it's a rebranded Master System haha.

 

[MarkMe2525]

That's because it's a rebranded Master System haha.

Haha, that's what I meant to say. Mega Master Drive System

 

[MiguelItUp]

A lot of the OG Atari consoles looked funky AF. Especially the 2600 with that woodgrain, lmao. Aside from that I really couldn't stand the fat PS3. I mean, it didn't look THAT bad, but the glossy that showcased every finger print and the Spiderman font combo was so gross. The original Xbox is kinda up there too IMO, lol.

 

[Party McHardy]

I’m actually quite fond of the original DS design. There are definitely far uglier consoles.

 

[FoxMcChief]

The PS5

 

[Justin9mm]

People putting PS5s up must of been gamers for the last 5 minutes.

Behold.. The Magnavox Odyssey

Or maybe you like the Coleco Telstar Arcade

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

GameCube and it's not even close

 

[Drew1440]

Xbox One - Forza Horizon 3 Limited Edition
Close second is the PSP E model

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Get the fuck out of here. The Vita is THE best looking handheld ever made, especially the slim model.

 

[Interfectum]

Gotta go with PS5. It looks ridiculous and is fucking huge. The sooner the redesign is out the better.

 

[VeganElduderino]

the Ps5 is one beautiful console , you guys are smoking crack!

 

[MetalRain]

Not yet any images from OUYA, let's shit on that as well.
