All of a sudden, I'm sitting here wishing my PS4 had woodgrain on it. I never thought such a day could exist.

Man, I'm actually starting to miss 80's and early 90's computer technology shells. I'd like to see retro mods for a lot of today's stuff.

Everyone that loves this is showing their age like me I still have silverfaced and wood panneled audio equipment and also had a 2600, its missing the switches on the console though.

News flash to those saying it's hideous: retro consoles were hideous, bright red/orange buttons and all.

I used to own one of those ugly ass 80s wood panel atari's, it was a terrible looking thing back then and even worse now.

Heh, when the 360 first came out, we convinced my roommate to get a wood grain faceplate for it. We were kind of just joking, but he did it anyway. It was the greatest dumb idea I've seen put into practice since my dad bought cheap plastic spinners for his Geo Metro.

I rather like it, nice tribute to the olden days.

I believe us older types will have more appreciation for such a thing.

I'd buy it, looks great. Only change I'd make is only do the four face buttons in red.

Fuck y'all, that controller is boss as hell.

There was an image of a wood-paneled Xbone floating around /v/ some months ago that looked great too. These new consoles really lend themselves to retro redesigns nicely, heh.

That's pretty ugly.

The One already has stereo VCR look so that would suit the Xbox far more.

The PS4 looks too purely modern to pull that off.

Blech.
