Really? I mean the slim is smaller than many books, so it doesn't take up much space...

Its not more about having more wire management , having to hook-unhook Composite/Components cable , extra electricity plug and an extra wired-controller.

As it is I already have a Wii, DVD player, VHS player, cable box, WDTV, an un-connected 360, with a 64 and Dreamcast hidden in the closet.

:lol: That seems like not very much, most of us probably have more retro than that hooked up around the house. If it doesn't fit it doesn't fit I guess!

I'm sorry that your 64 and your Dreamcast feel they have to keep their sexual preferences hidden. The best I can suggest is that you be supportive of them and hope that they can eventually come to terms with it and feel safe enough to be themselves in public.

That said, tell them to avoid Russia at all costs.

I asked this many times here in the forums but I never got a good answer, how do you manage the wires?
I only have 3 HDMI inputs and 1 Component/Composite input which should be used for Dreamcast/cable box/64/360/DVD player/Wii/VHS player , and I have pulling the wires out and back in everytime I switch

Excuses. I live in a small Manhattan studio, and I have hooked up PS2, Xbox, NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Ouya, Master System, Genesis/SegaCD/32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, and 7800. The PC Engine, whenever it gets will, will also be hooked up, and as soon as I mount my TV, so will the NGCD and a record player. All on the same TV Stand, in—again—a small Manhattan studio.

I use system selectors with A/V cords. You can get them VERY cheap at Big Lots. And I use power strips. I also have a nice shelf that was probably designed for nick-nacks, but I have each little cubby-hole filled with a different console, and the T.V. on top.

I have EVERYTHING I own below down in my signature hooked up to one T.V. at all times (not counting the handhelds, of course), except for my Wii which is out in the living room because it's the Netflix box.
