Consoles and Durability: Ever Have Any Console Break On You?

[Cloudman]

 

        Heya everyone, Cloudman here. It's been awhile since I last did a thread, so I thought it was time I made one. And this time, I'm talking about...

 

The Durability of Consoles!

 

Yeah, I'm talking about these, and not 7th gen ones in particular...

 

             So everyone here plays games on whatever consoles they own, and usually the majority usually only have to buy them once, but on rare occassions, these machines break and have to be replaced with a new one. Now, the majority of the consoles I own are still in great working condition, except for one system in particular...

 

The PS2

My Unlucky Console

 

      I must have real bad luck when it comes to PS2s. I've had to replace it twice, with both of them breaking on me. The 2nd copy was used, but the 1st was a brand new one I bought, and I took good care of it. For some reason, they broke, and even now, my 3rd one is having problems, having long load times and freezing mid-game while the PS2 makes sounds like my Dreamcast trying to load up Sonic Shuffle. And it causes some real annoying frustration for me, making my playthrough of Tales of the Abyss an annoying and somewhat painful experience. It feels like I am doing the tango with my PS2, having to get up and push down on it to make it continue the function. Over, and over, and over again...

 

Have you ever had a console break on you before? If yes, what console was it? And how many consoles have broken on you?
