Is the Original Xbox still the best looking Xbox?

To me there's just something charming about the original Xbox design that I feel has been lost over the years.

Large image of original Xbox:

The big X design on top with the lines going down the sides and the green dot in the middle, the way the dvd tray is hidden in the front, the 4 controller ports on the front, the look and feel of that S controller, etc... imho I think it's still the best looking Xbox console. I know the newer designs are more efficient (for example, the Series X being a rectangle with a single fan that just pushes air through it) but I think the design is missing the creativity that it used to have. What do you guys think... which Xbox is the best looking console and do you also feel that MS has gotten boring with the look of their consoles? Do high-end Xbox consoles going forward just keep the same Series X design?

I love the original Xbox's look but 360 is the most attractive modern console design, maybe the best looking console ever, even if it's design caused it to overheat.

I do also love the Series X compared to the PS5's clusterfuck of a design, but the 360 and it's very mid 2000s ipod esque design really takes me back to a special time.

No. The fat 360 with it's curvy design.... beautiful.
Especially white one without any additional chrome... and THEN BLADES!!!!

Series X is a spineless, boring block of modern farts. And it is very easy to collect fingerptints

OG Xbox is an extremely good-looking box, but it's hard to beat the Series X.

I have
Xbox One (black)
Xbox One S Gears 4 Limited Edition (red)
Xbox One X Gears 5 Limited Edition (greyish)
Xbox Series X (black)

Out of these, Series X is the most beautiful one, but the red One S with the locust scratch marks is a real looker, too. The grey One X with its crumbling ice pattern as well "unfortunately", which is why I'll never sell any of them.

I liked the v2 360 as mentioned by unclbenn unclbenn , but voted for Series X. I think I probably like Series S best, but I've never owned one so don't feel confident. I do really like the Series X, but never see it as I put it behind my TV.

Topic title seems to be quite inaccurate.
