Do people seriously unplug systems? I have all of them plug in to power via two surge protecters and a squid. As well as 3 cheap AV switchers from radioshack 4>2<4>>TV. I have a NES SNES N64 GC Wii PS1 PS2 xbox xbx360 genesis all hooked up to my tv at once. All I have to do is turn the system on and flip a switch and Im ready to play across decades of gaming.
