never had any problem with any of my consoles yet... DS, PSP, PS3 and now 360.

I`ve bought extended warranty for all of them from bestbuy. Let`s just pray they do go... so I can get a new one. :)



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

3DO - No Problem, but gay system

PS1- Broke after about 3 years, got a new one (still working today)

PS2 - No problems at all

PS3 - No problems

360 - No problems (not many people can say that)

PSP - Broke after 4 years, physical damage so its my fault

GB - No problem

GBA - No problem

so i'm 7/8 on consoles not breaking, not including the one thats my fault



never had a single problem.

my consoles all work.

even my nintendo.
my supernintendo i broke the power cable but it worked for more than 10 years.

my nintendo 64 i sold it but worked.

my gameboy color was stolen but worked for years.

my ps2 still working
my wii is okay getting dust but okay
my ps3 is working
my psp i broke the start button, the button works but the plastic is gone =(.

my DS is just a new. =) well its new.



Snes, Sega Megadive (Genesis?), and Sega Master System all worked fine, probably still would if i knew where they were.

GC, rogue squadron sometimes used to fuck with my memory card, but if you took it out the problem went away. I didnt know that the first time and lost all my saved data

Wii - occasionally it struggles to recognise the brawl and Mario Kart discs, brawl because its dual layer and MK is scratched to hell because we play lots of drunken MK and my friends all use GC controllers and end up throwing my poor wii round the room. All I have to do is eject and put it in again



Nope, i dont buy MS hardware. jk :)

Iv never had a problem with any handheld or console so far. Although mario aint playing as well as it used to on the NES.

I've got a SNES, N64. GameCube, Wii, GBC, GBA and NDS.

All of them are working fine, as I think they are, since I haven't touched the first two for ages. But my GBC worked even though it fell into a fishtank once!

forgot to mention my Game Boy Color has no sound and my Game Boy's screen has dark lines going down the side.



I've never broke any of my handhelds, or consoles and never had any problems with any of them either.



The only problem I ever had was a DS Lite hinge cracking, and compared to the usual hardware problems, it's definitely nothing to worry about.



My consoles seem to love me. Of all the systems I've owned, only two have ever given me problems (the family's NES died on me many years ago, and my original PS2 stopped reading CD-ROM games and DVD movies). And both of them have replacements that have given me zero issues.

My handhelds are even more fond of me. I think I have all of 2 dead pixels between every handheld I own, and both of them are on my GBA SP. Not one has ever stopped working entirely on me.
