    I never had any trouble with my wii, xbox (when I had one) or ps3. My PS3 is acting a bit slowly though but thats maybe because the OS on the PS3 sucks.

    My SNES is still going strong as well :D

    I have my 80gb PS3 since December 2008 and not a single bit of trouble (bar Fallout related freezes!).

    Actually I still have my PS2 from January 2002 as well which is still going strong (well I say strong but I haven't used it since Persona 3).

    Old arcade Xbox 360 Jasper chip model, going 3 years now not a bother on it.

    Edit: Have a launch PS3 60GB still going strong too, that said it sees very little use.

    Fat PS3 40GB model, died after 4 years of me owning it. But I bought it 2nd hand (in 2008) so it was even older again.

    Have had my Xbox 360 S since the day it came out and still runs grand and have had my PS2 since the day it came out and the only thing it needed was replacement controllers from FIFA RAGE!!!!

    Xbox 360 with little use and well ventilated, got just over 2 1/2 years before it died, thankfully still under warranty. Haven't really used the replacement much over the last two years, so it still works.

    I'm sure the Wii also works under all that dust.

    I'm on my 9th 360. All free repair bar the last one where I had to buy one as it was out of warranty. I had them break loads at the start. Fairly reliable now. I had a slim for over a year now no problem. I bought the 360 on launch day. Only time I got really pissed off when my 360 broke was for the Gears of War launch. As I remember going to the shops and picking up my copy of Gears that I had pre booked for a while but no 360 to play it on. It was made worse by the fact that the next day in school all my friends in school where talking about how good it was.

    When I would tell people the high number of 360's I'm on they would always assume it was due to me mistreating them which isn't the reason why......
    I'm the type of person who cringes when I see a friend leave a disk out of its case or in a different case!
