You could buy a console and be 100% confident that it would actually work?  So far all of the next gen systems have broken on me.  I am on my third Wii, my second DS Lite, and just recently my FOURTH Xbox 360.  It seems like only the older consoles were built with real durability

I guess I'm lucky because all my consoles haven't been defective. Unless you call the crack hinge thing on DS Lites a defect. I didn't really care so I never turned it in to get it fixed.

I have never had to do that. I am on my original DS, and my first Wii.

I'm lucky all of my consoles have work right away, but I have traded in some games that didn't work.

With Sony yes, but I've never even had the slightest trouble with my Nintendo consoles. As of a year ago my NES stopped working, but that's ancient. I've had a DS Phat and a DS Lite, both have worked fine. No problems with Wii thus far. My SNES, and N64 still work. I've dropped my 4-5 different Gameboys numerous times but have never had any trouble with them. Nintendo is good with that stuff IMO.

dude, you just have bad luck. what - where you born under a bad omen or something????

i have never had any nintendo product break or fail on me...and i've had most all of them. I had a playstation that needed to be turned upside down to work :? wtf was that about???

anyway - like i said before, you can NEVER touch any of my hardware - you'll obviously break it. :)

The only thing I've had to replace was my GC, but that was after about 4-5 years. Nothing else broke on me.

yea same here.The GC was the only 1 that broke (and my DS has taken more than a few falls), and yea, i think it broke because of something i did neways, but yea, all my other consoles still work just fine.

No console ever broke on me for 12 years and I am questioned by what is the reckless thing you do to your consoles to make it break so much.

Well, I've never bought a defective console. I always wait at least a year prior to release before I buy anything.

I don't break my consoles, I just tend to always get the defective ones. Let me explain.... My first DS was fine, but then my DS Lite had 2 dead pixels, so I exchanged it. My first 360 got broken when my brother unfortunately turned the console when the disc was spinning, and messed up the entire console. My second 360 got stuck on the starting screen and never went passed it My third and most recent 360 froze everytime I played it.... my current one works fine so far though My first Wii just magically stopped working one day, Nintendo never even told me what was wrong with it My second Wii, which Nintendo shipped me, didn't read any discs. My current one works fine though

born under a bad sign or something - I tried to google that...but amazingly enough it pulled up this thread (results!)...there you go - you are cursed.

Cursed, now i think you must walk backwards 10,000 miles and recite the alphabet backwards while rubbing your belly and patting your head at the same time.

Oh...chew gum while doing this - then I think you'll be cured.

Let me guess..... WiiConnect24 was on, you pressed the button to turn on the console and it didn't turn on so you unplugged and plugged back in the console and it worked, right?

actually that has never happened to me, but i do know what u mean, cause i have a couple of friends that has happened too, but i remember when i used to have a gameboy color, and my friend dropped it on a rock it still worked, older system used to be more durable and better working at times
