Most Unreliable console from your experience ?
Re: Most Unreliable console from your experience ?
I have had my 360 break once, in 3 years. But other than that everything for consoles is fine for me. The first model PS2 is still doing good. However, I have problems with handhelds, especially the ds. Bought a launch ds, and it started losing pixels. My ds lite broke in half, and my DSI is doing the same thing as my first ds.

1. PS3 2 broke on me on my 3rd.
2. Dreamcast Keeps on resetting
3. NES Dam you blinking screen (Lifted the pins for a better connection but after 5 or 6 game inserts its back to flashing.)
My 360 rroded on me but such a simple fix. Still rolling with the HDMIless model.
Had a Gamecube break on me. Think the laser went. Would only read Phantasy Star so it was hard for me to complain.

1. Xbox 360 - All my friends have had to replace their 360's. One of my friends had one crap out on him I believe 5 times. I've gone through two myself. Utter crap.
2. NES - I went through two growing up, they just simply stopped working or something. I had a cleaning kit for awhile and pretty much had to use it on both the console and the games every single time I played something for awhile. Are the top loaders more reliable?
3. PS2 - Nothing major, but I've had to clean the lens on my slim one twice or so.
4. DS Lite - Touch screen is funked, beyond playable.

Personally:
1. Ps2- I have two that won't read discs, one slim and one phat.
2. Dreamcast- mine sometimes doesn't read discs and unreal tournament will only play if I have played a game previously that day.
3. DS lite- I have had 2 that the R button stopped working.

I have owned four or five Master Systems, none of which have worked. It is definitely the most poorly-made console I have ever owned, even more so than the 360.

Worst controllers in my experience:
1. N64 - After heavy use, these joysticks pretty much broke down.
2. Xbox 360 - Dunno what it is, but these things get so dirty quickly, stiff, and the joysticks seem to easily mess up (my oldest controller always like to stay in an up position internally, which is extremely annoying when trying to play games).
