Yes, the box that encloses the pieces. We platform users are a simple folk.

But honestly, when I was a kid and new systems came out, the design of the console and the controller was always the second biggest thing to look forward too. The first being screenshots and teasers videos of the first batch of games for the new console.

I remember being so excited about Playstation 2 when it was coming out, and I was over the moon looking at screenshots of NHL 2001. It was the first time the crowd had actual people in the stands instead of the pixelatedf lat squares that made up the crowds in every previous NHL game.

Even though they look terrible by todays standards, I remember being ecstatic when I first saw the crowd shots, because the arena realism was one of the biggest things for me.
