I hated those things, my first instinct after unboxing was to hide those Ps consoles of old on a lower shelf of the entertainment unit, but unfortunately could not do so coz of the need to provide adequate airflow for cooling.
Ps5 on the other hand demands to be placed on display as the center-piece of the entertainment unit, directly below the wall mounted Oled, I absolutely love Ps5's design and love that $ony kept the same aesthetics for the Ps5 'slim' re-design.
What was Micro$oft thinking with the x-bone and x-bone X, that series looked like TV satellite/cable decoder set-top box thingy.

I miss that era too
When you said "chonky bricks" the one that came to my mine is THE BIG FAT BOX

Best console of its era, hardware wise, but was also the first to die and be replaced by its successor (Xbox360), just 4 years after launch, if I remember correctly.

True, however it lived on the year after as a media and emulation power house.
What else could you plug in to your TV at the time that could play Divx / Xvid, region free DVD's, MP3's, stream internet radio and emulate most past consoles up to the PS1 / N64.
I think my OG Xbox got used pretty much every day until 2010 when moved over to an Intel Atom based Nettop PC so I could playback 720p / 1080p content.

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked." -
