You're taking a chance, regardless. I think I remember hearing about a few Wii U turning into bricks at launch. You really never know. I have ALL my original consoles, going back to my Atari 2600, and the only ones I've had trouble with are the NES and SNES. My original PS2 is still hooked to the television in the den.

However, I have never bought a console at launch. The Vita was the nearest at less than a year old. I normally wait until the first price cut and/or redesign.

Actually, the whole deal with the Wii U needing a huge patch has just about convinced me to wait on getting a PS4. That, and the fact that there are tons of PS3 games on my wish list.

Damn, what did you do to break a NES and SNES? I've never in my life seen a NES or SNES that suffered from a hardware failure, and I've seen me a lot of them.

?? NEs and SNES had many issues. NEs in particular with that horrid front loading door was always problematic. I don't know anyone growing up who never had issues with them, they were famous for it. The pins would get back, cartridges would not load.....
