I have to say I've had problems with every first PlayStation I've bought. My original PS1 and 2 both got reader problems after a while and my PS3 recently got the Yellow Light of Death. However, this was the first time I repaired the system instead of buying a new one. I haven't had any serious problems with my PSPGo, but there have been incidents while listening to music (and once in-game) where the system spontaneously shut down.

I'm a dedicated PlayStation fan, but I have to agree with Wolf's sentiment that they're not made for hard playing.
