Microsoft have supposed to have reinforced the motherboard design in the new models. So Elite should be fine. Annoying though hey. Still I owned 2 snes due to failiure. 3 Dreamcast 3 PS2 2 N64. All due to failiure. I got bad luck or what. I do use my consoles about 20 -25 hours a week though. |
YOu have some serious bad luck. My launch N64 is working flawlessly. Actually, i was just playing MK64 on my new tv with my nephew. I don't knwo what resoultion the N64 put out, but it sure wasn't 480i. It looked like crap on my new XBR4, worse than anything else I've tried yet.
So far, the only system I've ever had problems with was the ps2. I got the DREs about 3 years after I got mine (got it 6 months after the NA launch), but my repaired one worked fine until I sold it for my ps3.
My N64, GC, ps1, GBC, Wii, and ps3 have all worked flawlessly.
