Whenever I purchase something, the thing I care about the least is outward appearence. This is evidenced by the fact that my PS2 computer and gamecube are all sitting here with the covers off. That said I do think that the Xbox2 has a pretty sweet design. Now if only it had a quality name to match....
Wireless controllers scare me though. Everything Ive seen points to the xbox2 having a controller as lame as xbox1. Normally I wouldn't care due to the existance of adaptors which would allow me to use a ps2/3 controller instead, but since controllers will be wireless, an adaptor cannot exist
