It's kinda weird seeing that so many people have had so many hardware failures myself and a few friends along with my entire family have never had a single console fail since owning Master Systems / NES. Mine/family's console's were played 8+ hours daily across many years back when the entire family was using them at different times of the day as well so they got some serious usage and a lot more than most would of.

The only breakage I that happened was a friend dropping his PS2 down the stairs but thats a different story lol.

Must have good luck in this neck of the woods lol.

I am just very unlucky with PS2s I tell ya..! I take care of my consoles.. @_@

 

 

Dang, I would have stopped after the 3rd. Luckily my DC still lives and functions well.

I took incredible care of my consoles but a few still broke.

I like to think I took care of all my consoles, and yet I still had 2 PS2s break on me. The 3rd is  acting up as well...

 

If you keep your consoles clean, don't run them for like 10 hours straight, never let them fall, use licensed peripherals, etc. There's no reason they should fail. Most of my consoles failures broke because I used them to play games! Totally unacceptable. Luckily, in this day and age, manufacturers are being held accountable.
