CyPhErIoN: now that i agree on.
I like to have my things nicely sorted and neatly installed. *Yes i use straps and spirals to connect and attach the wires.* If you're not carefull you might get caught in a web of electrical wires. So i had a nintendo , sega 8bit , atari and a playstation at one time.
It was a real jungle. I got rid of all of them just because i hated switching connections all the time and it took a lot of room.
Now i've got em all on mame :)
Haven't you ever heard of an input switcher? At one point I had a NES, Sega Genesis, PS2, DVD player and a PC all hooked up to a single input on my old TV, through a switcher box that allowed me to change devices with a simple push of a button, no unplugging of cables required. Granted, I had a ridiculously large video cabinet capable of holding all that stuff, but once it was all hooked up, there was zero hassle involved in using it.
Aliasalpha: Heh shows the differences in persepective, the very reason I got interested in the go was the lack of UMD
Shame the removal of this complicated and expensive component in favour of cheap plentiful flash memory has somehow managed to put the price UP. Suppose thats what Sony gets for having its manufacturing facilities in the evil parallel universe where everything is its opposite. At least they have the decency to shave the goatee's off the consoles before they ship them.
They removed one complicated and expensive component only to replace it with a new complicated and expensive component: the OLED screen. I'm not sure they even broke even on the PSPGo's manufacturing costs compared to the original PSP's manufacturing costs, OLED's are still really expensive.
