Heres what i've broken over the years:

Xbox 360 - R.L.O.D after 8 months of owning it. Gave up with them after that.

PSP - Bricked it when some firmware backfired.

GBC - Dropped it in a river when i was like 7 :(

So how many have you broken, and how did you manage to break it?

2 360s RROD so I gave up on em

My ps3 yellow lighted once because I downloaded a corrupt file or something so I guess it wasn't the ps3s fault, IDK. I had it on warranty so I exchanged it at Sams club no questions asked.

One. And it wasn't even me. My mother knocked a PS3 (a 60GB, at that!) off of the TV stand, while I was home for the weekend visiting. She felt so bad that she went out and bought me a new one. Turns out that the only part that broke was the hard drive, but I didn't know that until much later when I sat down and tried to get it working again. Oh well - they wanted a Blu-ray player anyway. :)

I've never directly broke any console. During a storm the lights flickered and after my 360 would overheat after a minute of being on, and my 2nd one just got RROD last week. That's about it I believe...unless video cards count.

EDIT: My PS2 got DRE, but was fixed 3 years later with compressed air.

I wouldn't say I broke it, I'd say Microsoft broke it. Anways, 5 times has my Xbox 360 died. 4 RRODs & 1 Disc Drive bad, totally 11 weeks at repair center & $00.00 out of my pocket. For my troubles I was given Four 1-Month & Two 3-Month Xbox Live Gold Subscription Cards.

My first 360 red ringed and then my second 360 overheated and I could only play it for like 10 minutes and then I would recieve 2 rings. Those are the only instances that my consoles ever broke.

None of my Consoles broke.

SNES: The Cable is broken but I think it still works.

Genesis: I had to get rid of it because the controllers couldn't plug into the 1st Player slot they only fit into the 2nd Player slot.

Had a launch PS2 break on me, and I had a PS3 break on me. Everything else works fine, though my original launch Xbox has trouble reading disks now -- probably because it hasn't ran anything since 2003 or so.

One if you count my PS2 not reading disks anymore. (it' slightly my fault since I didn't play it at all when I got my PS3 and that made it collect LOTS OF DUST) It would work fine and read every disk before that.

I've had a Dreamcast and two GBA SPs break physically. My first PSP was stolen after around two years of having it. My first PS2 failed, and I ended up having to get it refurbished. My first 360 RROD'd twice and E74'd on me before I had to replace it last December. That's all I remember, really. :P

How many consoles have you broken? None... How many have broke on me. 360 twice. Number of 360's to have gone through in my home twice mine and twice my roommates... I got legacy consoles with triple the game time and triple the abuse still chugging away. Pathetic... 80GB MGS4 ps3 still taking it like a champ...

The first PS2 I had (which was the first one sold in the county I live in) fell a good 4 feet from my cabinent and then I got DRE. The second is still working although the controller 1 port it busted. I actually dropped my PSP from my upstairs all the way downstairs on to the carpet and it still works like new lol.
