How Well Are You Treating Your Next-Gen Console?

Boy I tell ya, today video gaming consoles aren't like the ones we had yester-year. I mean I remember when I had the NES, I use to blow on the carteridge and hit on the side, just to get a game going. I remember having a Sega Genesis and accidently kicking it a few times. I also remember having a PS2 and letting it collect dust and I didn't even care to dust it off. But with the prices of todays' consoles, I treat my console so delicate. I mean I never used a duster in my life, but when it comes to these next-gen consoles, I'm like a maid dusting my consoleoff and around the tv and tv stand. And I always make sure to put away the controllers and stack the games neatly. So how about you, how well are you treating your next-gen consoles?

I take darn good care of my 360. It sits on two decks of cards to keep airflow going underneath and has a fan pointed on it. Hasn't broken on me yet, and hardly ever freezes. I do this less because of the money than because I don't want to deal with the headache of fixing/replacing it. whoisryanmack

tahts the saddest thing I have ever read, and I've read of mice and men

I haven't picked up the controller on my PS2 in a long time now... Its still used for DVDs though.

As for my PC... *hugs PC* I try to dust the top off every day/night and keep the desk clean... it doesn't really collect much dust inside so bleh.HostileEffect

That reminds me. I need to turn my laptop upside down and shake it to let whatevers in betweenthe keys out. Ha. The same goes for my PC keyboard.

I treat my consoles like they were my children.

I don't have any Gen 7 consoles yet. But for my Gen 6 consoles, I vacuum the vents every week....to keep the dust from coming in. Other than that, my consoles just sit quietly and neatly without any clutter in the entertainment center.:D

I think it's more sadwhen I read about someone complaining that their 360 has broken 5 times. Besides, how much effort did that take me to set up?...about 2 seconds worth.

the point is you shouldn't have to, and theirs shouldn't have broken 5 times

Well that might be true, but I deal with it because 360 has what I want. To be fair though, no one said I have to do that, it might be just fine if I didn't.

yours does but what about the 5% of 360 users whos 360 dumped out on them. and I'm fairly positive that the fail rate is much higher since other surveys have come up with 15-22 have gone through at least one 360

5% failure rate... So 5% faulty, 95% work just fine? So about on par with the best selling, most popular console with the most AA/AAA games on a console ever, eh? Oh yeah, that's going to be a piece of garbage.

I like how you ignored how the numbers are closer to 20% than 5%

I just make sure my 360 has room to breathe and it sits on a shelf. The PS2 and Gamecube sit on the floor. Sometimes I yell at them for having inferior graphics to the 360 and I explain why its up on the shelf and they aren't. Sometimes...late at night...I can hear them crying from the other room...

How can you hear them over the deafening "whir" of the 360? lol.

I'm sure you're aware the numbers are based on time of warranty which means that consoles outside of the warranty period are not counted and since the 360 notoriously broke just outside of the warranty period this would bring the failure much closer to 20%. And I'd like to see one report where the 360 has a 0% fail rate.

I always take really good care of my things. DVD's, CD's, Games, whatever. I handle them all with care cause things aren't cheap. JDW_games

Ur a better man than I Charlie Brown!

Not very well.My 360has never had an early night and this weekend it pulled an all nighter, had to feed it Red Bull to keep it going.

Apart from that, I look after my stuff and it seems to reward me by keeping on going. After years, I throw away a lot of stuff that still works.

I keep my 360 in an airtight room kept at exactly -15 degrees celius, it takes 3 hours to change games.

My PC andPS3are kept in a safety deposit box at my bank because I had to usethem as collateral to get a loan. If I lose them I lose my house and my car.

I keep all my Wiimotes tethered to a wall so that I can't throw them into my TV.

Quite. If I had a 360 I'd chuck it out of my highest window onto solid concrete, then go out and burn it, and let the fire cleanse some of M$' many sins...

Ya, it is sad that I had to go to the immense trouble of putting the system down, and turning a fan towards it. All I got in return were the best games of this gen, and a savings of 200 dollars.

I dust my stuff off every week and vacuum my 360's drive out ever 2 or so months. I even wipe the finger prints off my chrome.

:P

vey excellent

i keep my 360 in a nice comfortable crib so he can nap

than i feed him baby food when hes hungry and take him out in a stroller when he needs some fresh air
