*ahem*
If you have been gaming for long enough, you are bound to "wear out" your consoles. Thats a fact of life- people die, and things break and wear out.
How many times have you replaced your consoles, and which ones?
For Me...
Saturn: 1
DC: 1
NES: 2
32X: 2
Genesis: 2
My PSX is suprisingly still in order, though it sounds sick.
PSX: 2
Genesis: 2
The Dreamcast is the only system I've had probelms with.
*knock on wood* I havent had to replace any of them
only thing i had that didnt work was a Sega CD i got for free but i still havent gotten another one dont think that counts though
Playstation died and needed replacing.
DC: 4
PSX: 3
PS2: 2
XBOX: 2
NES: 1
SNES: 1
GENESIS: 1
N64: 3
Saturn: 2
I din't need to replace any of these due to "break-downs." Unless stupid decisions count as break-downs. ;)
my genesis pulled a burn-out on me a few years back. I lost my model 1 and I still miss it to this day.
Then there was the incident involving my dad using my psx as a doorstep... "oops"! :lol: Ticked me off that I was dumb enough to trade in my saturn for a new one (plus games I collected :( )
I've never had a system completely burn out on me before, but I suppose my genesis and NES are coming close.....they seem to only work 50% of the time.
Oh no, wait, rephrase that, I had a GBC blow up on my before. Seriously, it blew up, the screen went out, and it never worked again ;_; I didn't buy another GB for a long time after that.
PSX- 7
PS2- 3
DC- 1
Soon to be SNES
The number represents how many times I had to replace each system. God bless EB's old 2 year warranty.
The only true replacement I've had to do was the original Playstation. The NES was the other system to die on me, but I never replaced it.
In addition to that however, I've bought like 6 Genesises (sic?) which was due to some odd Ebay insanity on my part. Basically I thought my Genesis was broken (turns out it wasn't) and I bought another to replace it. When I started looking into buying one, I remember thinking "You can get such good deals if you buy a Genesis with lots of games!" Then my memory fails me, then I owned 7 Genesises.
