Well yes because it is a "mini-din" connector. It takes after the equally stupid connector..the DIN.

However, the worst connector now...HDMI...easily falls out and often has too stiff a cable for its own good.

The DIN is much better than the mini-din basically because the mini-din's connectors are much easier to bend and/or snap off than the full-size DIN. Granted, I am not implying that the DIN is fantastic in any way.

Agreed about HDMI. It's hard to damage the cable and connector unlike s-video, but the damn thing really needs to snap into place because it can wiggle loose much too easily (also unlike s-video which is usually pretty snug).
