- Comment. If there is any opportunity to retake this, I feel it would be better if some kind of neutral (but discernible) background features were visible. As it is, it seems rather "disembodied", like it's floating in space.

- I suspect there isn't going to be an opportunity to re-take it. If I understand it correctly, Evan borrows these often-obscure items from collectors for the purpose of photographing them. A white background is a fairly common (and admittedly slightly boring) setting for product images such as this. It isn't to everyone's tastes, but it does isolate the subject and is usable in more circumstances than other backdrops. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 17:44, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
- Aesthetically, perhaps a good idea, and if this were Commons almost certainly expected. For use in depicting a video game system itself, however, that would just add distractions; a plain white background is common for product photography, although admittedly a little visually boring. The WikiProject Video games people would also be unlikely to use it, as they already have something (this) that suits their purpose. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 00:09, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

- This says support ended in 2003, though they stopped production in 1994. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 01:02, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

- Support This picture of an old plastic box with electronics inside is good for illustrating the article on this old plastic box with electronics inside and comparing to other old plastic boxes with electronics inside. Belle ( talk) 10:56, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
