How many consoles have broken down on you?

[Pete for President]

Welcome to the console graveyard!

My third PS3 just died, RIP. Luckily Sony's going to warrantee it. It's the 4th console on my videogame history graveyard, the other being a PS2.

How many consoles have died on you?

From what my siblings have told me, the SNES and N64 I played as a kid are resting in RIP, but they're at my mom's house so I don't know firsthand.

I also had an Xbox at one point which disappeared on me - later I found out it was at my sister's apartment (not sure how she got it but) and that it was also dead. RIP Xbox ;__;7

All my other consoles seem to be working though, at least last I checked - my PS1 could very well be dead but I haven't booted it up in years so I dunno.

As for non-consoles, my PS2 controller bit the dust a little while back (it didn't get a whole lot of use so I'm kind of mad about that) and I've also got some Pokemon Game Boy cartridges whose internal clock is dead.

My first PS3 died a few years back. Shame too since it was a 60gb launch model.

That's literally the only console that died on me.

My PS, PS2 and PS3 have all had one replacement each. I probably wouldn't have replaced my PS3 after it died, but my blu/DVD player died around the same time and I needed my movies god-dammit.

I thought my atari 7800 died, but now I think it's just that we lost the RF adapter or whatever. It's possible it still works. The fate of all of my older consoles is kind of up in the air (except the NES) because I don't have a working RF adapter for them anymore.

The only system to really die on me was my PS3. I had two 360s at some point, but I sold both of them and they both apparently died pretty quickly after that.

3 PS2s. Some may have been my fault >.>

I thought my first Playstation died one time, so I bought a replacement and then opened up the first one as I wanted to see how it all worked. I noticed a small orange belt had slipped off, so I put it back on and got it working again. Sold it for £40 in the end, and to my knowledge it's still working for the guy who currently owns it.

Other than that I've had a PS2 die on me (disk drive wouldn't open), and my first Xbox 360 got the dreaded RRoD six months after I bought it. Both were thankfully replaced under warranty.

I think I killed one PSone adn maybe one PS2. PCs? I'm always breaking stuff on my PCs.

I have never had a console die on me. :3

I dropped my ps2 to the ground about a year after getting it, but I managed to get it replaced on warranty. Then I had a gamecube's laser wear out after just a year, which I also got replaced on warranty. That's about it.

I have a second hand nodded ps1 that still works, and my ps2 and ps3 also still work. I don't expect the ps3 to die anytime soon, considering most of the wear it gets these days is on the hdd, which I can replace on my own anyway. The ps2 has a nearly dead laser diode as well, bit I play games from a hdd on that too .

Hah! I wish I had Honestly I'm very ocd when it comes to discs and consoles, almost all of my devices still work. PS3... I think it's just a bad luck streak.

The first died within warranty after I bought it about 6-7 years ago, gamefreezes all over the place. The replacement lasted a long time; about 6 years. Then it got the PS3 version of the RRoD. Of course warranty was no longer an option after all this time, but I was happy with how long the device worked anyway.

Bought a new PS3 slim to replace that one thinking I'd play it for another 5-6 years (like I still do with my PS2). It's very disappointing to see it break down so soon considering I have been away from home most of the time and have only played effectively maybe 4-5 months. Games just freeze out of nowhere every half hour or so. It's a warrantee issue and Sony said they'd send replacement within 2 weeks. All will be well

My Super Nintendo died way back, and other than that, the only console I've had die was my first PlayStation.

I've broken the hinges ona DS Lite. Still worked. That's about it.

[Sephiroth]

Half of my broken stuff still works. I am still using my old DS to trade my Pokémon between the games.
