    Braaaaaains Another system bites the dust.

    So my PS3 died a week ago, after I finally decided to start using it again. YLOD and all that. It was one of the old first gen models so I'm not surprised it bit the dust. Though I'm annoyed I'll need to replace it and get my PS+ back so I can recover my files. I figure I have three more months before the six month deadline kills my files. So far, I've only really lost two consoles. My first PS2 and now my PS3. I thought I lost my NES a few years back, even wrote a touching article about it for the old gaming site some EoFFers made, but I was able to fix it up a bit and it's still playing strong.



    So how many consoles have you lost?

    I lost a SNES, and that was it. Luckily, my PS2 is still running like it always has. I do worry about the day that it will finally croak. Not everything I own is on PSN.

    Zero. All the consoles I bought are still in working condition. One is boxed up because I didn't need a PSX after getting my PS2. My brother's old Genesis broke after years of use, but that wasn't mine so I don't count it.

    Just a PSX due to some kind of power fault (ie, not the fault of the PSX, but an electrical fault at our house). Everything else has survived so far. Although I did have to get a new hard drive for my PS3.

    I don't think I've lost any systems but my PS2 controller quit working a couple of years back and that was kind of disappointing.

    I lost my old faithful Sega megadrive ( genesis) but that was because someone stole it. same with the N64. My ps1 looks like it is breathing the last days. and Half my PS2 ( the ps1 half) has broke. Lets not forget the time when my Brother Smashed my xbox, just to see what game was inside. My first ds lite was destroyed because my brother put it on my back, and it slid off. and lastly, my first xbox 360 died, well it couldnt read discs so... same with my Ps3.

    i like old consoles

    I have never, ever had a console fail on me. They all still work like the day I got them, and I've played the hell out of all of them. I've always wondered what people do to them to make them quit.

    Nothing's ever broken but I'm not sure where the PS1 is. Maybe a family member took it or put it in cold storage?

    I haven't actually had very many die completely. A few PCs, and maybe a PSP.

    I have, however, worn down some of my handheld systems to the point of nigh uselessness. Buttons just wear out eventually (especially shoulder buttons).
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I killed my PS1 and 2 controllers with Guilty Gear and Street Fighter than I would care to admit.
