| Destroyer_of_knights said: optical drives are the weakest part of the console, so expecting it to last 24 years like some fools have posted is silly, SNES has no moving parts, so of course it'll last a long time. So realistically speaking it should at least 2 years playing every day for say an average of 4-6 hours a day, before the optical disc breaks, the rest of the console however should last allot longer if not the entire generation assuming nothing bad happens physically to the console. Reliability should be there on the 1st day, and nothing we need to pay extra for since the console needs to work for us to buy games, and these companies make money from games sold, plus it's less money they have to spend covering warranty repairs. |
Warranty is a good point to metion. You get charged upwards of $150 by some companies to get a console fixed if it breaks outside warranty so they're not exactly losing money when the console stops working after a period of time if the user sends it in to be fixed.
