o_o; The only problem I ran into was due to Sony's earliest PS2 model. I was unaware that they keep releasing new models of their consoles - most of which have a slew of problems. So it worked well for years but recently it stopped reading PS2 games and was already way past warranty. So I just YouTube'd how to open it up and fix it myself. o-o; Just had to clean the eye with some alcohol and it worked fine.. but since it was the earliest PS2, some later games could not be read properly leading to huge lag or freezing.. like Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.. o_o So I just wasted $100 to buy the latest Slim model which is working pretty great for games and movies and saves tons of space.

My N64 is a godly tank. Once my dad tripped on the cord and the system fell a few feet onto a carpeted floor. Its still good.

Once at my cousin's house we were playing PS2 then we were called for dinner. He turned off the light in the room and I was blind so my leg got caught in the cord and pulled the system down.. crashing into the hardwood floor from like 10 feet. o_o It survived though.

When My cousin came over to my house one day, he brought his xbox360 over even though We had a ps3 in the house already. -_-
We had the same video game, just for different consoles so his mom said "What's the sense of bringing your xbox over if you have the same game? put it back." But no he wouldn't listen, So he put his xbox360 to stand up like a dumbass we were play-fighting, I put him in some submission hold, he was struggling to get out and he kicked his xbox over by accident causing it to fall and it put a ring around the disc causing the game not to work and the xbox doesn't work anymore.
