Got burned on a launch PS1 that had overheating issues. It could have been worse but still had to fork over $75 since the warranty was a few months out. I wouldn't dare buy a system made by Microsoft. I am fine sticking with just Nintendo and PC combo. Only Nintendo system I've had that totally broke was a launch GC. The reason why it broke was because I put it in a hard suitcase when flying one trip and they dropped the suitcase very hard (so hard it damaged the old school hard suitcases). I eventually got another GC but I would still try and make the old one work. Eventually it started working (I believe the laser was a little rattled) and I gave it to a friend. He said it worked for a few months but eventually started messing up again. So it resurrected for about 6-8 months before finally giving out again.
