NES and PS1 are the only systems I've owned that consistently gave me trouble. I've owned several NES's and several original Playstations and none of them worked 100 percent.

Whenever I put a Bethesda game in my PS3 it freezes constantly. Totally has to be my PS3's fault. I'm thinking its a problem with the... hard drive? That's the thingy that reminds the disc to keep spinning right?

My own favorite console game is Legend Of The Dragoon. It's for PS1. Legend of The Dragoon is awesome RPG game. It is very good and it's even better than Final Fantasy', in my opinion.

i've only had one NES kick the bucket on me (got sick of replacing pins, just got a top loader instead), but my god i've gone through some N64s in my time. the connectors on it are such trash! hahaha
no other real console tragedies here, but i've had a couple arcade boards die on me. now those are unreliable!

now that i think about it, all my consoles have been good to me and i've been good to them. I have a launch 360 that still runs great to this day, a NES that doesn't blink. If i had to pick one tho, it would be game gear. sound and the screen always seem to fail on most handhelds i've come across.

My first psp and my first ps3. Fancy that, both Sony products....
Haven't had any issues since I sent the PSP in, but I didn't even screw with the PS3. The way the older fat models act up... I've known several people who sent their fat one in for repair, only for it to break on them after the 90 day warranty expired. I just went and got a slim, haven't had any issues yet. From this lesson I learned: Never buy Sony products at launch. I plan on either sending in the PS3 to someone other than Sony (
http://www.videogame911.com does it fairly cheap, and provides the same warranty).
The only issue with it is that it won't read disks of any kind anymore.

Um...CPS3? Yeah, dainty like a flower. Dead "First Impact" owner here.
My vote goes to PS1, if it wasn't upside down it was being returned. But I blame Tekken...we played a lot of Tekken.
