  • Some consoles (more notably handhelds to be specific) come in more than one color. Are there certain colors you would prefer for your console? Or do you not care if your console is nice and colorful? And um what color are your consoles? XD

    I personally don't care about my major consoles having a color. Maybe the controllers, but the consoles themselves, I'm just happy to have them. I am a bit picky with handhelds, though. And ummm...I have a red N64, black GCN, black PS2, white Wii and 360, blue DS, silver DS Lite, fuschia and glacier GBA, pearly pink SP (well, I took it from my sister tbh lol), and waay back in the day, I had a silver GBP. I am aware this is a strange topic, but I am curious. lol

    Other than a white PS3, I don't really have a preference for solid colors, as long as they aren't glossy. I hate glossy so much.
    However, when it comes to designs, Final Fantasy XIII and Killzone 3 designs are something I'd throw money down for if they were available.

    Oh, and I have a black GLOSSY PS3, a white matte 360, a white DSi, a black GLOSSY DSLite, and two piano black PSPs. The worst kind of glossy is black glossy, just my luck.

  • I've never really thought of it that way, but I can say I've never been a rainbow person when it comes to games. :/
    Let's see... White SNES, White Gameboy, Purple Gameboy Colour, Black Nintendo 64, Purple Gamecube, Black GBA, White DS, Black DSi, White Wii, Black Xbox 360.

    So pretty much, every standard colour unless it's black. ^_^

  • I love to have my consoles in all sorts of colours, to the point of wanting to do case mods.

    Unfortunately, however, they don't often release consoles in nice colours so my repertoire is fairly plain; at least as much as anybody elses.
    I absolutely adore my green gamecube controller though, and wish the console itself was that colour.

    Grey SNES
    Black Nintendo 64 [Wanted Translucent Green]
    --Translucent Purple Controller
    Black Gamecube [Wanted Orange]
    --Green Controller
    --Orange Controller
    White Wii [Wanted Lime Green]
    --Intend to Chrome Case Mod
    ~
    Pokémon Gameboy Color
    Translucent Green "Aussie" Gameboy Color
    Black Gameboy Advance
    Grey DS
    Black DS Lite [Wanted Apple Green]
    --Apple Green Case Mod (Before my DS was lost)
    ~
    White Xbox 360 [Wanted Black]
    Black Xbox 360 Slim
    Black PS3 Slim

  • In my opinion, some colours look better than others. For example, I prefer the black Wii to the regular, white Wii. :) Also, I've got:
    • A white DreamCast
    • A normal NES (*2)
    • A normal SNES
    • A blue, Pikachu-styled Nintendo 64
    • I had another N64 that was a different colour, except I can't remember what colour it was. XD
    • A purple GameCube.
    • A black GameCube.
    • A silver GC.
    • A grey Gameboy.
    • A green Gameboy Colour
    • A Pichu and Pikachu styled Gameboy Colour
    • Loads of purple regular Game Boy Advances
    • A red GameBoy Advance SP
    • A silver GBA SP- broken
    • A tribal GBA SP- broken
    • A silver DS (original)
    • A black Nintendo DS Lite
    • A white, regular Wii
    • A white, normal PS1.
    • A black, slim PS2.

  • I'm incredibly stingy so the list won't be quite as long, but...
    - Red GB Pocket (RIP)
    - Black DS (I don't have it anymore either)

    And, uhh, that is all, I think. Oh wait, Laptops come in different colors too. Mine's black, quite generic. But my plug assembly has some odd kind of purple-ish tone, that makes up for everything.

  • I don't see the point of posting a while list since I doubt anyone is going to be looking at it in such detail so I'm just going to say that for every game console I've owned, the only one that isn't the original was my special edition Pikachu Gameboy Color. Everything else is the initial release colour.

  • I'm certain every one of my consoles is the original default color. I did have a couple handhelds that were of different color. Never cared much for colors aside from still wanting a gold PS2. ;D

    I've always gotten consoles long before their alternate versions come about, so nothing special for me. I don't happen to care though.

    Ooh, fun topic. Let's seee...

    GB Pocket: Silver and Red (two separate ones)
    GBC: Transparent-ish purple
    GBA: Silver again, yay silver!
    NDS: Silver~
    DS Lite: One Black, one White, one limited edition Zelda Gold (there's a reason I have 3...)
    DSi: Blue
    3DS (preordered): Blue
    N64: Pikachu edition (Blue with a Pikachu on it)
    Gamecube: Black (it's the only color they had during the Zelda Collector's Edition promo)
    Xbox 360: White
    Wii: White (launch day Wii, thank the gods that I had the sense to preorder it!)

    That's all I can think of. I also had an original Gameboy, a NES, and a Phillips CDi, but I don't know if those come in other colors to begin with.

    EDIT: I knew I was forgetting at least one. I have a limited edition NES-style GBA SP. It's awesome.

  • GBC: translucent purple (shared), yellow (me)
    GBA: translucent purple (shared)
    GBASP: silver (brother), surf blue (me... I think that's the colour)
    DS: original silver (shared)
    DSlite: black (brother), white (meee)
    PSP2000: silver (me)

    ...Handhelds are so much more colourful than consoles. ;_;

    N64: plain old boring default
    Gamecube: ^
    Wii: ^
    Xbox360: ^
    PS2: ^
    PS2slim: ^
    PS3: ^

    That's what I get for being an early adopter of all of those consoles except the N64 and 360. :(

  • Let's see:

    -Grey Gameboy

    -Translucent Pink Gameboy Advanced

    -Blue Gameboy Advanced SP

    -Blue DS

    -Blue DSi

    -Blue 3DS (preordered)

    -White Wii

    -Purple Gamecube

    -Black Nintendo 64

    ... And that's all that I have. ^^;

    One thing that I wanted was the red model of the 3DS but then they only have Blue or Black available for preorder. ;~; I want a dang red one! D:

    Usually, I try not to opt for the black model though.

    There are some colors I wish my systems were- for example, matte black or see-through- But I'm okay with them being slightly less pretty so long as they work properly.

    I currently have a white Wii and a blue/black DS lite. Used to have a -purpley-transparent GBC (which was the best color, it can't be denied), a gold Pokemon Center NYC GBA, and then a red GBA SP.
