I think the reason why people like them is because you can plug video games into the front if them.
They do 'look the part' when it comes to video games and they free up the main TV when you need to watch tele at the same time.
They are a bit more robust than flatscreens and use very little power, mainly ease of use I guess.
I did sell some commodore/ amigas locally and I had so many phone replies on the answer phone I gave up listening after the third message.
