I went to go buy one of those new consoles, type 1 and 2 and they both show up bright solid white to me,no buttons or anything... is this a problem with my graphics? or do others see them like this also

Both consoles are solid white with no buttons. Type 2 I believe has the 4 displays on it, but still no buttons on the main body of the console itself.

That screeshot looks just like my console. It might be a graphics/card problem.
This may be silly of me to point out, but a full logoff and/or a server reset may be necessary to bring the correct console art back for you. I know that most of my woes are solved by a reset or a logoff.

I have seen the pictures of the console with all the buttons and such showing. They always show up as bright white to me too. I'm using a Radeon 9550 video card and suspect that has something to do with the odd display. Playing with detail sliders and such had no effect on changing the appearance of the terminal.

In the Launchpad's game options, try adjusting your vertex/pixel shader settings. I suspect they're set too low or disabled and upping them should help.
If your video card doesn't support any pixel shaders, I think you're stuck with an all-white termninal.

That would explain why I don't see it. I have a video card is older than me.

I have two PC's and the one I'm on that it looks white is an older Radeon 8500le card, which uses old radeon drivers. My other computer has a Radeon 9700 Pro and has all the bells and whistles going. I went home from work to try it out on that one and of course my SBC DSL was down again 
no chance to check it out yet but i'm sure that's it....

Hmm, if I turn vertex/pixel shader back on I get really low framerate... I guess I'll go without being able to see all the goodies on the tech terminals.

I haven't seem the consoles yet but I do have whiteness problems with wookiees wearing armor.. they're fine when they're nearby, but fade to white as they move away.. by the time they're maybe 60-70m away from me, they're completely white

I have the Radeon 8500 LE card, and they show up just fine for me.
