Style or Function?

Featured Replies

In your game consoles (and other electronics you may have) would you rather have style, like some curvy thing, or function, like a flat thing, which can be stacked and have stuff stacked on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My vote is for function, but some people *cough*insane*cough* seem to thihnk that function is a nonissue for a lot of people...

You're mixed up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Function is of course important, I couldn't care less about style... that's why I said *style* is a non-issue.

My personal preferance would be style.. considering puting stuff ontop that is heavy can cause stress on the CD-Rom drive or DVD-rom drive...

 

 

 

so now i dont stack anything on it.. so.. Style for me.. (although i do what to stack IT on things)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

trust me i've seen it happen..

If I were to, it'd be style. That's why I find it hilarious when X-Box fanboys use the arguement against PS3 that it looks cool and the controller of PS3 looks stupid. PS3 controller will be very functional.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW - I think I am going to enter into the console buying market. I saw a Nintendo 64 for $9.99 with my name on it 8) .

yeah.. MABY they need to make the digi-pads(analog sticks) on different axis though... BAD FOR FPS!

This isn't the place for xbox 360 vs. ps3. Take it somewhere else.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I prefer function, but I really do enjoy style also. Function obviously comes first, but I'd take something good function and good style instead of something with awesome function and horrible style.

yeah yeah 360vps3 who cares its on topic somewhat.

As stated in last topic, funtion. An example being how the Gamecube is compact and cubic, being able to fit in tight spaces (I am not claiming the machine's superiority in anything, so dont flame).

This isn't about consoles only, it's mainly about electronics

Depends what function, style isnt that high on my list.

Lvl 80 construction.

 

Dragon Drops: 11 (4 Chains, 2 Axes, 1 Med, 2 Skirts, 1 Legs, 1 2h)

 

God Wars Drops: 4 Zamorakian Spears, 1 Godsword Shard 1

i think its stylish to be functionable.

Function. Style is generally usefull aswell, but meh.

 

 

 

I'd rather an ugly pos that does stuff than some flashy paperweight :P

Depends, I'll sacrifice a little function, if it would look better, fit better in certain places. Functions that i don't really need.

It depends what sort of electronic device it is, and where it will be going... But for the most part, function is what I look for.

it would be so awsome if the new nintendo revolution controller, also functioned as my tv, stereo and dvd player controller.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So i would choose function

Function, but the eye wants something too, of course.

Function sounds better if it's crowded

Style and function combined is often what makes a product so popular. Eg. the iPod 8)

"Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

function, but would prefer to have some style even at the lose of function
