ParanoidObsessive 02/28/18 6:45:20 AM #8:	Far-Queue posted... Pretty much how I felt until I got my 4th RROD. Then I jumped back over to Sonys side. I never had a RROD. The first 360 I ever bought is still the one I own and use (mostly to watch YouTube and play Minecraft, though also to occasionally replay older games now and then). Far-Queue posted... Think I was unlucky, though. Most people say theyve had two consoles die on them at most. And full disclosure: my first PS3 died, too. I had to buy a second original recipe Xbox due to drive issues, which caused problems playing newer games (specially, Halo 2 when it first came out). I also had to buy three PS1s, though in that case it was potentially less an inherent hardware issue, and more that my college roommates were animals and it got dropped on the floor multiple times. Other than that, I've gone through about 35 years of gaming never really needing to replace all that many consoles. As long as you actually treat it right and don't smash it around or screw with it too much, most consoles are generally relatively sturdy. Controllers, though, I use to go through like a motherfucker. Far-Queue posted... Fairly early on, at that. Last gen was an absolute shit show as far as hardware quality goes. A large part of the problem here is the "Fairly early" part. Most consoles these days are absolute garbage for the early part of the release cycle, because that's when most of the tech defects and poor design come to light. If you hold off on buying a new console for a year or two, you'll start getting the versions where those problems have already been corrected. This has been a problem for multiple generations, though - the same applied to the original Xbox (the aforementioned drive issue, for one). Unfortunately, the more sophisticated the technology becomes, the more fragile it tends to become. On the other hand, my ColecoVision console from 1983 still works. And I could probably bludgeon a man to death with it and still play Donkey Kong afterwards. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:896915334] in Do you lik...
