What do you dislike the most about your favorite console?

[BurningDoom]

What an odd question. But one I can easily answer:

The freaking blinkiness on the NES. I HATE it! If the system didn't have such a great library of games, I would consider it unplayable and sell the sucker.

And yes, I did install a new 72-pin connector. It helped the problem A LOT. But it doesn't take the problem away 100% of the time, unfortunately.

PS2 is my favorite, but I hate that the power switch is in the back of the system. It's always so awkward to reach. That and the slow load times are terrible.

Disable the lock out chip.

This is like the 3rd time in a month that I've seen a thread with activity, and as soon as I click it, it happens to be one of mine from a while ago.

I guess my mentality of "once a thread dies, it dies," is still stuck in my mind.

On Racketboy, if a thread is made, it never completely 100% forever dies unless it's locked by a mod. Even in it was made in 2006, it still has potential. I really like that. On some forums, people have a cow if you bump a thread from more than a month or two back.

Some conversations don't need to be bumped. But with threads like this, someone always has something to say. That being said, shouldn't this thread be in general gaming?

DS (and 3DS too): The screens are a damn dust magnet, and they're an absolute pain to get clean again because of the texture of them

Anyone got any tips? Especially for the ridge around the edge of the screen.

Screen protectors? Well I always close my DSes (plural?) when I'm done gaming so they don't have dust and what not.

I close my DS and have screen protectors, but i still get dust gather around the edge of the screen.

Ah, I see. Well I'm from GameFAQs....so I"m extremely used to topics purging/archiving after some short time. That's cool.
Also I probably should have made this in General Gaming, but I was paranoid, and Off-Topic is pretty much the best bet for unsurity. I think.

Not sure if I'm "doin' it wrong" but...

I want a backlit GBC! There is no console I can play Game Boy Color games on in the dark that doesn't allow the cart to stick out. GBA SP is okay, but I accidentally bump the cart or squeeze the system (Link's Awakening, you know... Start, Select, A and B?!) and make it reset! The original GBA was so nice and durable, all 4 of my GBA SPs are so flimsy! And small. I have small hands and it drives me nuts. The DS would have been nice to have the carts sticking out, since it was wide enough I wouldn't have to worry about bumping the GB/GBC cart. Nintendo, you teased me! Gr.

Nintendo 64 - I have such a hard time with the analog stick on that thing. Maybe there's something wrong with me, I don't know. I feel like it's too long.
