What I find weird is that the freedom of being unplugged wasn't a bigger deal than it was back then. It should've been marketed and hyped up more imo, which... maybe it was and I wasn't paying attention because: EQ, amirite?
It wasn't a big deal for a long time because wireless controllers were pretty shit back in the day. I had tried several for the PS1 and 2 and always went back to wired due to reliability issues. The first wireless controllers that I used consistently were the Xbox 360 and PS3.
