I've never had any problems with any of the consoles I've owned, which is 8.
It would be nice if we knew the manufacture date of the consoles that have broke, that way would we know if it was a release problem mainly.
Mine was manufactured Dec. 2006, going strong.
Well, for what its worth, the 360 that gave me problems was manufactured April 2006.Quote:

I've owned:
Atari 800XL
Oddessy
Colecovision
Gamecube
XBOX
and XBOX 360.
I've only had to get the Colecovision and Oddessy repaired.
My 360 that died was manufactured in May 2006. We'll see how long it lasts.
Touch wood, my 360 is still working fine at around 16 months old.

we've got a "360 death poll" on another board i go to. some guys are on their 4th systems.
I've had two PS2's and my one 360 break on me. Microsoft should be sending me a coffin in the next few days for my 360.
On my third system now. I still love the thing though.
Of my past consoles I've had issues with my Genesis and Playstation 2. The Genesis could not read saves from any game and I never got the thing replaced... playing through Sonic 3 was an in-one-sitting affair -__-
My PS2 (which is the one I'm still using) has this problem where it just does not boot a game about 60% of the time and I'm forced to keep restarting until it finally goes... at least the 360 has the common decency to just die outright so you're absolutely certain it needs to be replaced.
Not yet, although I've only had it for a little over a month. Do the new elites have the problems the older ones have?(gf bought it for me:D )
ummmm, werent all 16 bit saves on the cartridges themselves and not the system? the games had batteries in them that needed replacing once they wouldn't store saves anymore.Quote:

Well, for you at least.
The tree that the wood is attached to might be grinning. :D
