My SNES is still booting. Those things are made from Nintendium. They'll outlive the pyramids.

I bought it when I was 11. I'm 35. 24 years.

Ok.. so i can conclude that:
1. Consoles that use game cartridge have extremely long life span.
2. Consoles that use optical laser have short life span ( 5 - 10 years )

It's time to bring back cartridges to next-gen consoles then :)

Not true. I have A PSone, PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim, GC, Wii. All functioning.
