I was just wondering how many of you out there have had a console completely stop working. It could be from this gen or any previous gen.

The only console that I've ever had break was my Gamecube. It lasted for like 5 years, but it doesn't work anymore. Good thing I have a Wii.

My (2) NES systems don't really work. Well maybe a little, but it takes like 30min to get a game to work and it will most likely freeze on me. :(

My Genesis is a little messed up, at least the power cable is. I have to bend the cable a certain way to keep the power flowing. Never bothered to buy a new power cable for it. ;-p

My Saturn stopped reading CDs a while back. I don't know why. The games/CDs just don't spin up when I have them in the system...

My PS1 has a lot of trouble reading games. Many times it will skip, especially on FMVs or just stop reading the CD at all. I ended up just tossing it somewhere in my room at my parent's house and playing my PS1 games on my PS2.

Can't think of anything else at the moment.

@smbu2000: What happened to your Saturn is what happened to my Gamecube. If you put something really heavy on top of the cube, the discs will spin, but that's the only way to make them work.

@stockstar1138: Everyone says that Nintendo makes the sturdiest consoles, and I have to agree. I have a NES, SNES, and N64 that all work fine still. For some reason, my Gamecube broke, but I still trust Nintendo's hardware over everything else.
