I want to buy a Ps3, but the design is putting me off. It looks like an Easy Bake oven. What can I do to fix this?

Don't buy one? I don't think that it's ugly. Honestly, I don't see why it matters anyways since the 360, aside from the new slim, have always looked ugly as hell.

:o wow, i guess its true, different people, different tastes. Well you can put stickers and decals on it. and I saw this shiny plastic cover that you put on the ps3, and it looks like a screeming face is trying to come out of it.

stop trolling and wait for a couple of more years for a "slimmer" version or pick up cooking and start loving ovens... :)

Its what's on the inside that counts, cuz "it only does everything". How much time do you think you'll spend staring at your ps3? I just use mine to play quality games and watch movies.

You guys shouldn't act like everyone on Earth should be loving the design as much as you do. I think it's a weak design myself. However, I disagree with TC when it comes to the fact that he's disregarding the whole console just because of the design. That ain't cool, yo.

Problem solved. Play games while looking away so you don't have to see the PS3 sitting in front of your TV.

I agree it's ugly, but if it bothers you that much just hide it out of the way or something. All of the consoles from the last generation and the generations before it looked ugly (possibly excluding the gamecube and psone), I don't know why it's so important for a console to look good this gen

I dont think it's ugly.

To be honest I dont really look at it; I tend to concentrate on the ps3 games on my screen and boy do they look gorgeous!

all 3 game consoles are kinda ugly, but their function isn't solely to look good its to run games well so thats probs why it looks like this. I dont think the ps3 looks great but when im playing games i tend not to be looking at it.

Why does it matter how it looks? you buy a console to play on it, not so stare at it. :P

If you don't like the design then simply don't buy it, personally I think the design is amazing, it's all subjective.

There's nothing wrong with the way it looks. I have had several electronic devises that were down right ugly but then I didn't purchase these products to look at instead I bought them for what they could do.

You will be looking at your tv more than the PS3 when you're playing, so it's aesthetics shouldn't set you off. Just put it somewhere you can't see it.

I have never once thought about the design of ANY console machine. I don't buy game systems as furniture. I buy them to game on (And watch Blu-ray, in the PS3's case). As long as they fit in the entertainment center, it's all good.

I've never heard of people caring about a system's looks so much that they won't buy an excellent product because how it looks.

I think it looks bold and sophisticated...but, in any case, I could care less about how it looks as much as it performs.

Like my car. It may not be the coolest thing to look at, but it's reliable.

That's so true about a car or truck. I had a old pick-up that looked like it was falling apart and had all kinds of duct tape holding the body together but the thing was as reliable as a nice new shinny vehicle. Finally sent it to the vehicle grave yard after a long time of driving the thing.

I agree, PS3 and 360 need some sweet LED neon lights, custom spinning buttons and paint job.
