I try to take care of my consoles. I have not had any trouble with them, not even my oldest one the NES.

My Mega Drive, Gameboy Color, Nintendo 64, Gameboy Advance, Xbox, DS Lite, Wii and PlayStation 3 have always worked fine. I did have a dead pixel in my DS Phat, but that got replaced and I never had any troubles with the new one.

Nintendo DS:
1. Original from launch. I think it had a dead pixel and replaced it for free.
2. DS Lite (White) Traded in my Original for it. - Still works.
3. DS Lite (Black) Found it on a cruise. - Still works to this day.
4. DSi (Black) Got it at midnight of launch. - No problems at all.

Xbox 360: My brother got it at launch because he wanted a PS3, but didn't want to wait a year. Came with the red ring in the box. Had it replaced. When he got his PS3, he never touched it again, so I think it works.

PS3: Both me and my brother both have one. My brother's from launch, mine from when the Slim came out. No problems.

Wii: Disc read error after around 2 months with it (From launch). Nintendo fixed it fast as hell, and for free. Amazing service.

PSP: Both my brother and me never had problems with ours from launch. I sold mine for my DSi. His is on my desk right now, because he pretty much gave it to me.

That's everything this generation. I can't think of anything before this generation that has broken.

Edit:

Gameboy Color: Two of them. Work perfectly.
Gameboy Pocket: Works, but takes a while of blowing.
NES: I don't know what happened to it... I know it didn't work though around 10 years ago. I still have the games though.
Atari: Two of them. Different models. Do not work now.
N64: Sold it a while ago.
Gameboy Advance: Sold it for my SP I think.
Gameboy Advance SP: Works fine. Was an import from Japan.
iPod Touch: I don't consider it a console, but I play Gameboy Color games on it. Works perfectly from launch. My brother got his around a year ago because it came with something he bought.

Day 1 DS Phat: Still working beautifully.
Day 1 Wii: Yup, still gorgeous.
Black DSL (Wife®'s): Still going strong.
PSP (phat, bought used): Been through hell (fell in the couch, almost crushed in recliner chair), still in great condition (a few scratches) works great!
360: RRoD'd a year ago November. Got it repaired, and it's been working like a charm.

Oldies but goodies:
Genesis w/ 32x: still going.
Snes, 1 month after release: Amazingly, still going strong

Atari 5200 - console works, but controllers are broken (stick wise)

NES - original one failed, clone off ebay working

Atari 2600, SNES, Virtual Boy, N64 , GCN, Wii, DS Lite - work perfectly. SNES had a bunch of crap fall on it, so it's really dirty. Everything else is in great shape.

Have the N64 hooked up right now in fact, alongside the Wii. Emulate everything else on Wii and/or DS. (Except VB, obviously... but that's still cool to pull out every so often)

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
