I know this has been done on other forums. Lets forget all the racial references and get to the point. Which version of the Wii looks nicer to you?
I am asking this question because I have a white Wii and am debating swapping it for a black Wii. I typically prefer white electronics but something about that blue light on the black Wii just looks awesome. But at the same time I think the controllers and other accessories look better in white.
There is also the blue Wii. That's the best color to me, but I won't buy it since it doesn't have GCN support.

I have the white Wii. I bought it when black and red were also in stores and decided on white since I thought it was the "true" Wii color. In retrospect I might have preferred black to better match other electronics. Matte/flat black would rock hard.

I really like the red Wii, but that's probably because I'm a Mario fanboy.
Re: A matter of preference: White vs Black vs Red Wii
I voted for the white just because finger prints don't show up as much on the white controllers as they do on the black controllers.

White
This from one that loves older Apple iMacs but hates the newer plain white Apple stuff. I also prefer the Indigo Gamecube. Maybe because in both Nintendos they were the launch colors?

I like the original white, looks very sleek.
I've never seen a black one in person. Does it attract dust and fingerprints as well as a PSP? I hate that shit.

Re: A matter of preference: Black vs White vs Red Wii
I like the red one best. However, since it can be hard to get, I'd take the black one if I had to.
BTW, your poll is missing the powder blue version Walmart will be selling Friday.
