My original NES died eventually. I wanted get the redesigned top loading model because the front loading design was the source of the NES's reliability issues. My PS2 died in under a year and half, but everyone one I knew had issues with their PS2 failing. It was sort of like the next console I had issues with minus the free replacement. The 360. I had two 360s red ring on me. If MS didn't replace them for free, I would abandoned the platform like I did the PS2.

I wish MS had replaced my 360's but I was unlucky and they broke very early during the denial stage.  

That's what happened to me with my PS2. It broke before Sony settled the class action lawsuit for DRE. I was pissed. I didn't buy a Sony console until I bought my PS3 in 2009. Ironically I bought it to swap consoles with my brother who had a launch PS3 (Full BC). Of course I didn't know ridiculous the save file data was on PS3. He had multiple locked saved files that didn't move over. So I had to keep the non-BC PS3. I was trying to get some of the PS2 games I missed. Ah well, my bro's launch PS3 ended up with YLOD. If the swap had happened, I may not have bought a PS4 at launch.
