The controller cord is a little on the short-side, IMO as I can't leave the system on side of the room & play from the other side. I either have to move the system out or the myself forwards about 3 feet to play comfortably... I normally have my game systems in a 12-foot long room, so there's always some kind of comprimise to get comfortable.<

The cords nowadays are a lot better than the old ones. (better quality too) But the ones I had with my Sega Mega Drive were REALLY short. I used the cords to connect the thing to get it closer by, so I had the console in the middle of the room. <

>I only disconnect them sometimes. Most of teh time I play daily, so why bother. I also put away the consoles in their boxes if I don't play for an extended period of time. The trouble with being a god is that you've got no one to pray to.<i></i>

Xbox controller cord is perfect length for me... and for the 'cube, I got a wireless so no issue there. PS2 I barely use anyway, so that's not much an issue either <

[CLOUDBOND007]

I don't have a problem with the cord length. I keep my controllers hooked up the consoles, unless I don't plan to use the system for a REALLY long time. <

I like mine just fine, and I disconnect when I'm finished because it's just easier for me when I place the console on the shelf, though I keep that plugged in to AC. In the end, there can be only ONE!Only the

I tend to leave them connected unless there are<

[IJzebel]

o_o all of them connected to one tv? I had to use a VCR that can't play tapes no more, which has two skart thingies so I can connect two of them. I have to switch a cable on the tv to get either cable/dvd or consoles, that is three switches, plus the switching for the PS GC N64 and Sega...I hate that!<

Laughs! No... not all of the controllers for each <

Ya know, back in the late 80's, I purchased a set of controller extension cables for my NES. I have never used them. My NES Advantage cords were more than long enough. In the end, there can be only ONE!Only the

Mine's 17+ years old and still works great. Can't say the same for my Genesis Arcade Power Stick, though. The buttons don't respond as well as they used to. In the end, there can be only ONE!Only the
