Question for console owners of all generations.
Has anyone NOT experienced any problems with their consoles?

I have never had any problems whatsoever. I've had my 360 since launch day and not one problem.

Also never had any problem with my ps2, ps1, gamecube, n64, snes

Only problem would probably be the NES where you had to put another game pressing down on the initial game or kinda slam it down a bit to get it off the fucking blue screen.

I would just consider that shitty console design.

For consoles I brought new, I've Never had problems with my Master System, Playstation 1, PS3 (besides the fact it sucked) and Wii.
My First PS2 died after about 2 years, got replaced with a slimline when GT4 came out.
My first 360 Died after 6 months or so, I fixed it, then it died again after about 3 months when I was fucking with it. It's replacement is currently functioning correctly, but is only a month or so old.
All my 2nd hand consoles I've owned were fine (N64, Dreamcast), and all my 2nd hand old school gaming computers as well (Vic20, C64, Amiga)

NEVER had any problems with any console I've ever owned, excluding the NES thing like you said.

Have a feeling my 360 might be going soon. Dunno why, just figure with my luck it will

I'm not sure that counts as a design flaw, Ninti. I don't think I've even heard of it, much less experienced it. You seem to have had a bad system, period.

Anyway, I wish I could say that I've had no problems, it's just not true. PS1? Launch. Spring issue. PS2? Launch. DREs. DS Lite: My first one had a problem where WiFi wouldn't work. 360? A year after launch, and I'm on my third.

No problems with my N64 or Playstation.

On my second PS2. First one had some disk reading issues.

Had the red ring of death once on my 360. Sent it out for maintence, no problems since.

No problems with my PS3, or Wii.

My PS2 died, just didn't want to play anymore. Replaced it with a Slim PS2.

The biggest problems have been my NESs. Being my favorite console I've gone through at least four of them, including my current top loader (still have most of my older consoles hooked up on an extra TV). Having a bit of a problem with THAT now with it not wanting to play unless it's at a certain angle (I think something is loose).

Actually, my Genesis is having the same problem.

Had the Red Ring of Death once on my 360. Gave it a bop on the side and it's been working perfectly since.

No problems with my Nintendo till I got rid of it.
No problems with my Genesis, still works pretty well to this day.
Problems with my PS1 in the last couple of years, likely because it's like 12 years old.
No problems with the PS2.
No problems with the 360 thus far.

I should've also asked for those who have had breakdowns how often they play the console and what kind of area is it kept in.

For example, I keep mine behind glass doors underneath the TV except when I play in which I will open the doors so it can air properly.



As for the design flaw... I still kinda attribute my problems to that. All I had to do was hold the cartridge down and it would work but the original point when you click it down would sometimes just give a blue screen.

Pushing down the cartridge while placing another one on top of it to hold it down = life saver

I don't know how much I've played with my systems (Game Gear, SNES, N64, Gamecube, PS2, Wii), but all have been kept in an open area, with no obstructions whatsoever (within ~10-12 inches) around them.

Ok, let's think...

My Atari 2600 was great until my little brother thought it was too hot and decided to cool it off with a glass of water.

My original SNES was a Christmas gift back in 1991. It officially died in 2004 anfter years of heavy use and abuse.

My current SNES is a 2nd hand one and works alright.

My original N64 died in 2005 after 9 years of heavy use.

My current N64 is 2nd hand and works alright.

My Gamecube was roughed up by my nephews (chunks are missing and shit) but it works fine.

The family Gamecube works but had to be fixed a couple of times.

The Wii is fine.

My PS2 had DRE problems for a little while when Guitar Hero 1 came out then randomly fixed itself and has been great since.

My NES, SNES, and Genesis were all kept in worse places than my 360. I'm meticulous about caroung for my shit these days. My PS2 and 360 are both ventilated. Hell, my GCN was fine, and that was in a worse place.

Atari Coleco - No problems
NES - No problems
Super NES - No problems
Playstation 1 - No problems within the first week I had it, but I took it back and got an N64
N64 - No problems
PS2 - First had the disc read error.
Second had an issue where the fan would shut off and the system would overheat
Went through both of those in a week.

Never actually owned any others, but my last PS2 lasted until either early this year or late last year when I traded it in. My N64 is still going strong, and I still play it from time to time.

NES was a bit flukey but then so were like 90% of all NES consoles. 'Sides, Nintendo re-releases the shit out of every NES game anyway so it's not like I can't just play a port of the game on 10 different platforms.

Only problem I've had with any other console is my PS2, and that's just the adapter thing that plugs into the TV; it's a bit loose but I'm 99% certain that's because of my own negligent behaviour. Videogames =

Sega Mega Drive/Genesis - No Problems, well, nothing that couldn't be solved by blowing the cartridge
SNES - As Above
Sega Dreamcast(Second Hand) - Could never get the fucking thing to work. I mean the console worked fine, but I think the connecter for a AV signal was fucked.
Nintendo 64 - No Problems
Sony Playstation 2 (Original) - No Problems
Slimline PS2 - No Problems
Nintendo GameCube - No Problems
Nintendo DS - No Problems, except one dead pixel
Sony PSP - No actualy problems, except for the fact it was, y'know, shit.
Nintendo Wii - No Problems
Microsoft Xbox 360 - No Problems

Overall, i've been pretty lucky.

I think that's a defective plug. Everyone I know has had that issue. Mine was replaced. With another with the exact same problems.

Why would you buy a Slimline if your original had no problems?

There's a good chance that's what it is; just when stuff like this happens I always assume it's because of my own misuse of it... I tend to move my shit around often and am a bit careless. No biggy, I'm buying a 360 soon anyway
