How important is it to you what your consoles look like ? Do you mind if your controller doesn't match your console, or does it drive you nuts ?
I wondered this today, upon finally getting my dirty mitts on the crystal XBox I'd longed for. It does the same thing as a black one but I -had- to have a crystal one. No matter that I had to part with more money because it proved a bit difficult to come by, one it's really pretty.
I've wanted a Gamecube for ages but didn't actually get one until I could get a platinum one. Turns out in the end I got an American 'Cube (since all the game shops here I asked in weren't getting the platinum consoles for a good while yet,) which is proving a bit of a pain to get running the other side of the Atlantic. I could probably afford a second hand Gamecube for the money I've spent on replacing bits to get it to work but it was worth it 'cause it looks really awesome (it matches my GBA:SP, what more could a girl want ?)
I'm more than willing to believe I'm just a pathetic sadcase but I know that if I had a black XBox or a purple Gamecube I just wouldn't be happy. Perhaps I'm not alone, I know people who've changed their PS2s for the new slimmer ones just for the looks but I still feel a bit obsessive.
