Have to go with the SNES, twenty years later and mine is still running fine. The same can't or won't likely be said for modern consoles, although I hope my PS3 slim will still work when its that old.

take good care of it if it get yellow, i had to replace the body because the plastic was so weak that it lost platic piece after plastic piece while just sitting below the TV. (well it was a 2nd hand console an realy realy yellow when i buyed it. my childhood snes is still fine, but i had to use some chemicals to stop the aging process)


Still grey, keep it boxed most of the time to prevent dust. Usually only break it out when I want play Super Mario World. Sorry to hear about yours though, never heard of using chemicals to stop aging, thats interesting.

well fortunately a friend of mine made me a new body out of plastic that doesnt age so poorly. (and it glows in the dark).

 

and those chemicals are called UV protectant, and are used to protect some car parts. its not that expensive(as long as you dont buy the bmw or porsche branded) and it works well.
