I mean, think about it, many, many people like things that glitter. Very few like rotting corpses. Coincidence? More than likely not. I recently read an article about this ( http://www.androidblues.com/visualperception.html ), mentions some of that right at the start. And also, Apple are known for designing elegant, good-looking pieces of hardware. Microsoft isn't. Compared to the Wii, both Xboxs look like a massive hunk of plastic. However, both the Xbox and the Wii release games aimed at different audiences, so it's really not fair to compare them. :P All the same, love this mod, and would love to see Microsoft make an Xbox mini! XD @Big Daddy

Who woulda thought a little case mod would cause such bickering between the fanboys. Personally I think the case is really nice. And,,, I would take an original xbox with a 320gig hdd and xbmc over any of the other consoles out there any day. Wow.

Its called and opinion. Gameplay from nintendo??? Yeah because nintendo has gotten so many video game awards and have great games and graphics... 9. David Wilkinson | September 9th, 2007 at 1:42 pm @xmido Yeah - because games like Halo and Bioshock are totally crap. Wii Sports - talk about heart-pounding! Apple have certainly got designing in the bag, though. -Once agian you can't judge Apple, its an opinion. By Halo I hope you mean the whole series and Bioshock tops Wii Sports and any other game for nintendo. The Wii is for family's though... and old people who can't deal with a Big Daddy (preferably a Bouncer) storming you and smashing you in to the wall. You can't compare any Xbox 360 games (excluding Viva Pinata) to the Wii or the PS3, they just top them in graphics and quality. 20. Xaguta | September 10th, 2007 at 12:31 am @ David Wilkinson How can you even compare Halo 3 and Bioshock next to Wii-Sports? the Xbox 360 had way more time to develop great games! i 7. xmido | September 9th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
