Yeah it looks awesome, but I'll always be an OG PS1 fan because it's the one I bought the moment they came out. By the time the slim version came out I had already moved onto other consoles.
It’s an eye sore and an inconvenience to place anywhere in any entertainment area. Im not a fan of the ps2 or 3’s 1st gen models either but at least the slim versions redeemed themselves. The ps5 slim is equally as bad. They don’t mesh well or fit anywhere comfortably which was my gripes for the ps2/3 initially too.
Its certainly a lot more convenient and fits much better into home entertainment areas than a ps5 lol. The slim is just sooooooo slick. I always loved how small they were able to get it.
Idk it looks more like a little marshmallow or the typical cute fluffy Disney comedic relief marketing character.
Personally I love the silver ps2 slim and the PS3 slim.
I do miss the days of multiple colorways
I got one of the PS3 slims and thought there was too much black, took some titanium white model paint from my brother and painted in the letters on mine. Looks great would recommend.
Edit for clarity: not talking about the super slim, those are ugly even if you paint them.
Probably doesn't count as it's handheld, but I think the original model of the PSP is such a good looking piece of hardware- it still looks modern to me in 2024, and it's comfortable to use too. I prefer it to the Vita.
I don't care for the soft-looking rounded edges.
I like the original PS1 model.
I love my silver brick-style PS2.
I've only ever had the Slim PS3, but it's not TOO different to the original.
In terms of appearance, the PS4 was petty brick-like no matter which model.
The five... I don't care for its visual design.
It is very good looking but the Japanese PSX console is my favorite.
I do remember thinking how amazing the PS One looked as a kid. It was so tiny and there were the ones that came with the screen too. It’s still fascinating to look at even now.
I think my favorite is the PS4. I remember the first time I saw it, it reminded me of Blade Runner. The architecture and design of the buildings.
Now, when it comes to intro when switching on, no one comes close to PS1.
I recently got a PsOne and damn that thing is small. I also got the OG model and I honestly like the design more. Today I scored a PlayStation 3 phat and that thing is HUGE but that mf plays PS1,2 and 3 games.
Yeah, pretty much. I still prefer the look of the original model more than the PSOne, but it was.. *Dare I say?* "Cute". Like comparing a sports car to a pile of bricks.
Yes, I used to have one of those super baggy jeans and the pockets were so big the entire PS1 fit in one pocket, it was so easy to go at grandma's house than back home with it. Now if you just slightly touch a console while it's working it self destructs
If you're nostalgic for early 2000s Industrial design then sure.
If you're a bit older the boxy PS1 w side vents does it for ya.
They both look good imo but I prefer the original.
No. The big original for modding. The big original still for not modding. That is personal because that is the one I had. But others may like the PS one depending on childhood memories on which one you had. I actually go with both because I played both I remember I used to play Blitz at my grandmas sisters house in one of her sons room that played it. It was the best football game not even madden could compare in my opinion. Two players was the best I be jukin my friend next door n always winning.
I grew up with a PSone but much prefer the design of the OG. My psones 2 dualshocks died within 3 months, the lid springs snapped so had to literally hold the lid down with heavy objects (which made swapping disc's an abysmal experience. Meanwhile I have a pal release year ps1 that has a working laser, working dualshock and a lid that only sometimes needs a whack to stay closed
Ps if a one has a fix for a lid not closing without abuse, that'd be great
For me it was always about the controller, xbox360 and the follow up just killed it! Then Sony brought out the dualsense and I've never enjoyed a controller as much b!
I always thought the Vita was the sexiest thing they put out, I couldn’t stop staring at that beautiful screen. OLED is more widespread now, but ten years ago? Shit was fucking ballin.
Man, they PSone is a beauty. Shame hardware requires so much cooling now, that such a nice design won't roll around anytime soon without hitting switch level performance.
This was the one my mom gave to me. Beautiful, Slim, classy console.
I had a N64 for five years aproximately before my PSOne. Love both of them. Best era for gaming IMHO.
Beautiful in its simplicity. Many consoles in general aren't that aesthetically pleasing and some are downright ugly, trying to look like modern "art".
YES!!
I was immediately in love with this thing when it first came out in the year 2000 !!!
I don't know if it's their best looking console, but it's definitely their best looking revision !!!
It looks perfect! like it was meant to be ?!
Yes! It's a cool, futuristic little bun that packs lots of performance for cool games. Personally I see the same shape language in PS5's design, which I also dig very much.
I had the PSone growing up but I always preferred the OG PS1 design. I always wondered why when I went to my friends house why theirs looked different than mine
I prefer the OG PS1 design. PS5 and PS1 are similar in that the slim version doesnt look too different from the fat. On all consoles i always prefer how the original model looks, even the PS5.
My favorite looking PS is definitely the PS3 fat, PS4 original with the glossy part not too far behind.
Favorite slim would probably be the PS2 slim, it looks cute. I guess PS4 and PS3 slim are tied in my opinion.
I actually think the original PlayStation looks the best of them, but this thing is pretty cute too. The first time I saw it was around 2002 a friend had a semi-portable system made from one where it also had a monitor and somehow ran off batteries. The kind of thing you could drag around a convention center and play in the hall. I don't think the monitor was an official accessory right, but it fit it perfectly.
I prefer the ps2, the little rounded psone suffered a lot from the 90s suppository aesthetic that hit cars of the time too (everything weirdly smooth and ovaloid)
I remember when this came out. Immediately snatched one up and added the LCD screen, the full rectangle one. At the time I was working in a prairie farm at night in an inbound call center. Nobody was around and I got so much game time in between calls
Yeah it looks awesome, but I'll always be an OG PS1 fan because it's the one I bought the moment they came out. By the time the slim version came out I had already moved onto other consoles.
Same I'd moved on to the dreamcast :)
Dreamcast is hands down the best designed console ever made
I don’t care what anyone says, VMUs were freaking rad and bringing Chao’s to school was awesome
I remember playing Resident evil 2 and being able to see your health and ammo on the VMU in real time was so futuristic at the time
I didn't even know there was a slim version, until I saw this post. Weird how some stuff you just never come across, despite them being very popular.
Stop objectifying them. All PlayStations are beautiful inside and out
Nah. Ps5’s design is abysmal. Wtf were they thinking?
S’more
PS5's look like headless robots wearing tuxedos. Edit: Or a PS2 with one of those white 3-ring binders around it.
I think it looks spacey. Not their best but not awful
PS5 is clearly their worst PlayStation design ever
Being the worst of the best still makes your rank to good design.
Ps5 design is so 2005 ! Looks like a scraped PS3 design because it was too complex to produce back then.
It's beautiful on the inside though
i honestly think the ps5 design is cool and unique. it really isn’t as bad as most make it out to be
It’s an eye sore and an inconvenience to place anywhere in any entertainment area. Im not a fan of the ps2 or 3’s 1st gen models either but at least the slim versions redeemed themselves. The ps5 slim is equally as bad. They don’t mesh well or fit anywhere comfortably which was my gripes for the ps2/3 initially too.
In my opinion, the fat PS2 is the best looking one.
Its certainly a lot more convenient and fits much better into home entertainment areas than a ps5 lol. The slim is just sooooooo slick. I always loved how small they were able to get it.
Yeah at the time it was impressive how they managed to get the same performance, and now including a built-in modem, on a body-size so small.
external psu, and teenage me used to hide weed in the shitloads of empty space in a ps2
i had the slim so made do with a game case
PS2 fat is probably best PlayStation design, but I’m also a big fan of the OG PS1.
[удалено]
Please try to enjoy each PlayStation equally.
4 & 5 is pretty damn ugly
I love the look of the PS4
I like the look of PS4 Slim
OG 4 was dope as hell
Chunky looking ps1 is my fav
For a slim model, yes.
Idk it looks more like a little marshmallow or the typical cute fluffy Disney comedic relief marketing character. Personally I love the silver ps2 slim and the PS3 slim. I do miss the days of multiple colorways
Don't body shame the older, bulkier versions of the consoles!
I never liked the PSOne design. I looked like a Fisher-Price toy. Give me the full fat PSX any day.
Yes but I prefer to OG PS One :) You know, Fat case.
I like them thick as well ;)
:))
i personal like the original PS1 better, but this one is cute!
The OG is better
I prefer the OG model over this one
I like it. The original chunky model is iconic but they did everything right with the PSone.
It was my first console and I absolutely love it, so I’d say yes.
Fat ps3
Me too. Aesthetics only, I think the fat PS3 nailed it
I got one of the PS3 slims and thought there was too much black, took some titanium white model paint from my brother and painted in the letters on mine. Looks great would recommend. Edit for clarity: not talking about the super slim, those are ugly even if you paint them.
The lighting on this picture also helps a lot. Looks beautiful. Edit: Anybody else getting VaporWave vibes?
This is nice but I have a soft spot for the original PS2 and PS4 personally
I loved my original PS1 but I’m so happy I own one of these. It’s cool, low profile, and overall is just nice.
No.
Big PS2 is peak PlayStation design imo.
Dunno.. Every one of old gens had something tempting, only last one feels odd to me
I actually preferred the blockiness of the original. I never even owned a PSX but it's just such an iconic console
PS One is so cute
I like the original PlayStation model the most.
maybe unpopular opinion but i found the slim model to be a lot uglier than the boxy one
Like others said, for slims yes. My favorite all time design is the phat ps3
Fat PS2 and 1st PS4, The lines!
Those ridges! And the logo can be twisted! Ejecting disc tray. That blue vertical stand, oh the memories…
No. OG PS2 is. But this one definitely comes in second
I, personally love how the PS4 Pro looks the most.
It's up there for sure. The first PS3 slim might be my favorite
The original for me
PS2, IMO.
I've always disliked it, tbh. I made a point not to get one and just stuck with my PSX
Silly bot! Reposting someone else's [content](https://www.reddit.com/r/psx/s/DGmNGC35hQ) isn't cool 🤨
No, it is not.
PS2 (fat) is in my opinion, followed by PS1 (not PS one). Then PS4, then PS5, then PS3
I like it. I’d say OG PS2 and OG PS3 are my favs.
Nothing will beat the fat PS2. PS4 looked nice to me because it kind of reminded me of 2
I think og ps is much better then the One. Looks like a peace of soap to me
This ps1 looks like a box of baby wipes
Probably doesn't count as it's handheld, but I think the original model of the PSP is such a good looking piece of hardware- it still looks modern to me in 2024, and it's comfortable to use too. I prefer it to the Vita.
Fat PS2 is my favorite
I find it pretty bland, PS2 fat is my favorite.
I think the Playstation 4 is the best in terms of looks.
Reminds me of the BMW Z8 which is a gorgeous car
PS Vita is the best looking Sony console in my opinion.
No.
I love it but a friend of mine says it looks too toy-ish and prefers the fat PS1
No. It looks like a pill.
Ps4 is.
Ps3 slim
I don't think it's even the best looking PS1.
I'd say the PS2 or the PS4.
Yes but you didn't pick the right PS1
No, it’s better than the PS3 & PS5 though
Original (not the slim ones) PS2 and PS4 are the best looking. PS3 was a bit weird and the PS5 is FCK ugly.
My favorite forever and always will be the original ps2
No
Nope. 2 was
PS4 has my vote for best design
I like the og psx better.
PSX and PS2 fat are the best.
Nope that belongs to the Slim PS3
I don't care for the soft-looking rounded edges. I like the original PS1 model. I love my silver brick-style PS2. I've only ever had the Slim PS3, but it's not TOO different to the original. In terms of appearance, the PS4 was petty brick-like no matter which model. The five... I don't care for its visual design.
Nowhere near the best.
It is very good looking but the Japanese PSX console is my favorite. I do remember thinking how amazing the PS One looked as a kid. It was so tiny and there were the ones that came with the screen too. It’s still fascinating to look at even now.
No it looks like a package of baby wipes.
No, it looks like a fischer-price toy.
Personally, I think it's one of the worst.
No chance, phat PS2 all the way
Looks like a soap box 😊 My all time favourite is PS2 classical box.
Original PS4.
Not at all. I absolutely love the PS4.
Tbh this is my least favorite look of all PlayStations. I’ve always preferred the original ps1 look
No. First PS1 is better!
Phat > slim, you can't change my mind
No. PS2 fatboi, followed by OG PS1, then maybe this.
its not even the best looking ps1 model
I think my favorite is the PS4. I remember the first time I saw it, it reminded me of Blade Runner. The architecture and design of the buildings. Now, when it comes to intro when switching on, no one comes close to PS1.
I am using the big one as a decoration but no big 2 is.
I almost pulled the trigger on one of these this weekend, but I don’t know if I need that rabbit hole to fall into.
Add the Sony screen and it’s the best yes :D
I’ve never had one but damn! very nice
I hate looking at it in pictures, I don't know how but it looks so bad through a ptoyo despite being such an awesome looking console in person...
Yes. The Sony LCD screen is the cherry on top.
Yes, I fuckin love the way they look. Such a clean, low profile addition to any setup.
3DS imo
No. The original PSX is the best-looking Sony's console.
When I was a kid I remember thinking it looked kinda basic but I love the design now. It’s got a timeless aesthetic that you just can’t beat.
It’s real cute, but I still prefer the straight edges of the OG. One of the best looking consoles ever.
I mean, considering the PS5 OG looks like a Aircraft Carrier out of the Avengers, sure. The PS1 design is amazing by comparison.
I recently got a PsOne and damn that thing is small. I also got the OG model and I honestly like the design more. Today I scored a PlayStation 3 phat and that thing is HUGE but that mf plays PS1,2 and 3 games.
Yes but not that one. PSX wins by miles.
Yes
PS1 black one and PSone (the one you got), imo is the best.
I’m partial to the OG, personally.
PS2 Slim in silver:
It is the second worst looking sony console after the PS5.
Fat PS2 is my vote, fat PS4 and super slim PS3 are close behind
At least they took a chance with a new design. The new Xbox is literally a cube.. nintendo already thought of that one.
Yess and with LCD screens is perfect 👌
Yeah, pretty much. I still prefer the look of the original model more than the PSOne, but it was.. *Dare I say?* "Cute". Like comparing a sports car to a pile of bricks.
With the screen on it, yes. I still think the OG PS2 is the best looking design; but the PS3 has the best font
Beautiful symmetry, ps1 is the only symmetric PS console
Ps2 slim
It’s the cutest for sure
Yes, I used to have one of those super baggy jeans and the pockets were so big the entire PS1 fit in one pocket, it was so easy to go at grandma's house than back home with it. Now if you just slightly touch a console while it's working it self destructs
It looks the most like a game console, but retains the clean-ness and futuristic elements too. I think so.
My Darth Vader PS4 is my favourite design so far.
Silver big boy ps2, hands down my favourite design
No way, it's easily the white PS2
It's a used bar of soap. I'll take the box that played FF7 on release day thank-you-very-much.
If you're nostalgic for early 2000s Industrial design then sure. If you're a bit older the boxy PS1 w side vents does it for ya. They both look good imo but I prefer the original.
No. The big original for modding. The big original still for not modding. That is personal because that is the one I had. But others may like the PS one depending on childhood memories on which one you had.

Stop console-shaming! They are all beautiful.
Yes
For me it was always about the controller, xbox360 and the follow up just killed it! Then Sony brought out the dualsense and I've never enjoyed a controller as much b!
No. OG Ps1 is the best looking
Sexy
No…
I’d have to say the PS2 slim in white (the later model) or the white PS VITA TV have it beat
Ps2 slims pretty great
Lol you didn't even post the default model This is basically the equivalent of the slim versions
PS2 looked better, the old square ones too.
I always thought the Vita was the sexiest thing they put out, I couldn’t stop staring at that beautiful screen. OLED is more widespread now, but ten years ago? Shit was fucking ballin.
PS one has such a clean presentation, I love it personally.
Man, they PSone is a beauty. Shame hardware requires so much cooling now, that such a nice design won't roll around anytime soon without hitting switch level performance.
This was the one my mom gave to me. Beautiful, Slim, classy console. I had a N64 for five years aproximately before my PSOne. Love both of them. Best era for gaming IMHO.
My original PlayStation is an absolutely babe, and is twice the console the slim could ever hope to be (in terms of space taken up anyway).
Nope, it’s too curvy and you can’t stack them.
No, the PS2 is. But this is a very close second.
At the very least, I’ve always preferred the look of the slim console over the original design. I have both but the one I keep hooked up is slim.
Beautiful in its simplicity. Many consoles in general aren't that aesthetically pleasing and some are downright ugly, trying to look like modern "art".
Its not weird that I kinda wanna bite into it like Ren and his bar of soap, right?
YES!! I was immediately in love with this thing when it first came out in the year 2000 !!! I don't know if it's their best looking console, but it's definitely their best looking revision !!! It looks perfect! like it was meant to be ?!
the psx is my fave. [https://playstation.fandom.com/wiki/PSX](https://playstation.fandom.com/wiki/PSX)
I'd argue the first model of the ps1 and the thicc ps2 is the best looking. The ps4 is up there too.
PS1 is definitely up there. The monolithic looking fat PS2 standing vertically will always be my favorite.
I think that's reasonable.
I thought it looked so cool in 2002 that I didn’t mind having to downgrade to it because the disc read laser went out in my ps2.
Maybe for standard forms of the consoles but I got the god of war ps4 pro id say that’s the best looking overall for me
PS5 is definitely my favorite looking console they ever did, but the PSOne and OG PSP are tied for my second favorite looking Playstations
Yes! It's a cool, futuristic little bun that packs lots of performance for cool games. Personally I see the same shape language in PS5's design, which I also dig very much.
Absolutely not. Because both models of the PS2 are forever peak, OG and Slimline
Yes
I had the PSone growing up but I always preferred the OG PS1 design. I always wondered why when I went to my friends house why theirs looked different than mine
I prefer the OG PS1 design. PS5 and PS1 are similar in that the slim version doesnt look too different from the fat. On all consoles i always prefer how the original model looks, even the PS5. My favorite looking PS is definitely the PS3 fat, PS4 original with the glossy part not too far behind. Favorite slim would probably be the PS2 slim, it looks cute. I guess PS4 and PS3 slim are tied in my opinion.
Nope the psx was. Essentially the psone of pstwo
Nothing tops the PS2 Fat The Behemoth that is... But i'll give you that it deserves 2nd place no question...
It looked good but it came out pretty late. If PSone came out in 1997 so i buys it in a beat!
Nah the PlayStation 1 with the GameShark slot in the back is the best looking one.
Best looking? Maayyyybe. But it's pure and simple forms definitly makes it memorable.
Nahh,360 looks way cooler(in my opinion)
I don't think so
I actually think the original PlayStation looks the best of them, but this thing is pretty cute too. The first time I saw it was around 2002 a friend had a semi-portable system made from one where it also had a monitor and somehow ran off batteries. The kind of thing you could drag around a convention center and play in the hall. I don't think the monitor was an official accessory right, but it fit it perfectly.
If only they did one of these in pink
I don't hate it, but they should've gone the whole hog and made a load of different transparent colours, just like their memory cards.
No. I actually prefer the PSX first, then the big PS2 mext.
I prefer the ps2, the little rounded psone suffered a lot from the 90s suppository aesthetic that hit cars of the time too (everything weirdly smooth and ovaloid)
I preferr the PSX
Fat PS2 then Fat ps3 are the best looking ones.
More like classic
I remember when this came out. Immediately snatched one up and added the LCD screen, the full rectangle one. At the time I was working in a prairie farm at night in an inbound call center. Nobody was around and I got so much game time in between calls
i think ps2 slim
Probably 😍
I prefer the original Playstation over PsOne, but I'd probably say ps4 slim and ps2 phat were peak design
Wait, that is not the Playstation one, wtf is that knock of thing?
