What console(s) have you had to purchase more than once?

For me it's PS2. We had a slim and it had disk reading problems. We got a used "Phat" PS2 from my friend for $10 and my 7 year old little brother pulled it off the dresser and broke it. Now we have a silver slim that my stepdad bought from his friend.

my ps2 fat finally died last week had it since launch. probably played it way to much hehe. went and got a slim.

PS1 and PS2 because both started to read discs really slow or not at all.

super nintendo and sega genesis. snes broke when i unplugged it from the back and the entire thing it plugged into came out. the sega controller ports got ruined from being un/plugged a lot.

oh... and my ps1. i had the first model and when i took it to the store to get looked at they wre surprised at how long it lasted, but we ended up getting the new model.

PS2. My brother's had to get two Xbox 360's as well.

twice N64 reliability

once GCN Robbery

once ps2 Liquid

once genesis liquid

3 times ps1 reliability

0nce DS Rare screen problem

The original Playstation. I sold my first one after getting my PS2 but then had to re-buy one during my first year of Uni so I could finish Metal Gear Solid (it was glitching at the credits on my PS2 and wouldn't go to the endgame screen). That one decided to have lots of issues with reading discs, playing FMVs and disc swapping... so I bought a slim PS1 a few months ago :)

ps2. i sold one to get wii, then got a new one (for free from my uncle) after realizing ps3 cant run ps2 gamesfunsohng

4 XBOX 360's!! Id say Microsoft owes me some money by now...

funny tho it seems alot of people had to buy older systems more than once.I still have my original (fat)ps2,Genesis,NES,Sega Master System and my original PS1 just died last year and I bought it in '97.

2 PSX original models due to overusage, disk reading died even when tilted (specially if it drops to it's side a few times then :p)

2 PS2 same problem. Srsly.. worse than Xbox..

GBA SP. Some sort of battery problem, imploded or something, looked a mess inside. Unrepairable.

Odd that my original SNES I've spent several years in actual gametime still works like a charm today. I'll weep the day it dies :(.

PS1 & PS2

Nes,two times and PS2 three times.(2 fat & 1 slim)

3 psps! First (Darth Vader 2000) stop playing umds when I dropped it. Had it modded. Then the start button got water on it, fried the little connection. I still use it for, uh, classiscs.2nd, a fat black 1000 I bought for $30, recently developed a drifting analog issue. I tried to fix it to no avail. Now it's an MP3 player for my car.3rd one I just bought, a 3000. Pretty damn happy with it. Bought aplay-through hard case ;)

The great thing about the psp is even when one thing is broken, other functions still work.

I went through three phat PS2's. I also had to get my 360 repaired once.

The Gamecube about 3 times and the same for my PS2.

Sold both PS2 and DC a few yrs back, purchased them again. Why I sold them, I do not know.

My first Genesis 2, due to some one else breaking it while taking it to a different home. That's it though. All my other stuff still works from back when I got them, including the replacement Genesis 2 I bought.

GameCube, got tired of it and sold it only to get it again but much later and at a cheaper price

PS2. Had a phat model for awhile, but then upgraded to a slim. It's the only console I've bought again.

My Sega Genesis once, my Super Nintendo once, & 3 DS's. Woop.

Well let's see... Gameboy, DS then DS lite then DS lite again,Gamecube, Playstation 2 like 3 times, PSP, 360, Wii, and have had my PS3 since the day I bought it.

these numbers dont include the systems i am currently using (numbers are replacment consoles not originals)

sega genisis (small) = 1 time

Ps 1 = 2 times

Ps 2 (fat) = 4 times

Ps 2 (slim) = 1 time

360 (launch and arcade) = 4 times

my original launch 64 never broke, neither did my gamecube, wii, or original launch xbox.

My fat PS2 finally died after doing temporary disc read error fixes for a few years. Ended up buying a slim PS2 to replace it, had no problems with it since.

I bought a second original GBA after the LCD screen of my first one stopped showing images. I also bought another GameCube because my first one stopped being able to read discs correctly, although I realized later that the lens of the disk reader probably just needed to be cleaned.

I had to get a Slim PS2 because the one I had was from launch it and the thing that reads the cds just stopped reading games and at one point it just stopped turning on :(. Bought a slim in 2007 and it's been working like a champ.

I also had to purchase another 360 because the one I had got RROD and MS wouldn't fix it because I live in Latin America and I used to take it to a place about every month to get it fixed but it reached a state where it was beyond repair so I had to get a new one :o

I've had to repurchase the SNES.
But not because it broke, but because when I was young and dumb I sold my original for $50.

Honestly, none.

I guess I'm lucky. I've never had any serious problems with a system.

I'm on my second PS2.

I bought the first one (with the PoP bundle), worked great for some time, then it stopped reading dvd's. Sent it to Sony a couple of times, always came back with a new optic drive and worked for some time, it turned out that the problem was with the optic drive's controller (after around 6 moths without my console...).

Once I knew it'd be 100 euros to get a new optic drive controller I got a PS2 Slim, which is working fine.

PS2. First time because of Hurrican katrina and second time some dumbass (who I will not name) dropped it and blamed it on a dog.
