I had multiple consoles across my childhood, and I can safely say I now hate ALL of them, especially for wasting my time growing up.
It's like growing up, as a child wondering why those Japanese cartoons looked so awesome, discovering that they are called anime, trying to find some interesting ones that actually mean something in high school, and then finally discovering the existence of hentai in college, ruining it forever.
It means you have grown up and can no longer enjoy it, because that other shit exists and you cannot dislodge the memory of it except through time, and finally forgetting all that shit existed. I am glad I only wasted my time, though: others have started crossdressing and ended up chopping off their genitals in order to be the kawaii anime girls they always wanted to be, and committing suicide.

I modded mine to use a trrs connector where the rf jack used to be. No jailbars and it's the best of both worlds. I also did an rgb modded one with a snes style backplate where the power cord plugs into. They are my favorite form factor and the mods are reversible, though there would be no reason to do so.
