You have a really bad luck with Sony's consoles. My 8 year old PS2 and 5 year old PS3 are working perfectly fine. I hope I'll have the same luck with the PS4. |
Yeah, my first PS1 (purchased in early 1997) died in 1999, I think. My second PS1 never died but the spindle thingy that held the disc in place fell off. I glued it back on, though.
My PS2 died of disc read error and my second died after I took it apart (a regular occurrence) to fiddle with the insides. I forgot I hadn't screwed it back together and yanked all of the wires out of the motherboard. My third never broke, though. I just gave it to a friend when I got a ackwards compatible 80gb PS3 in 2008.
I decided to hold off purchasing at launch until I knew it was sturdy hardware. Would see a report every now and then about someone's console dying. I just figured they didn't know how to take care of them. Then, we started getting threads all of the time! Mine lasted until 2013 so it was a trooper. Hope my PS4 fares better.
