What's the longest your console has ever worked for?

Pretty self explanatory.

My current Xbox has been in service the last 4 and a half years, and I'm going to retire it on the 20th, in favor of the new GoW3 Xbox.

My white 60GB Xbox 360 is still up and running after having it in service for longer than 5 years.
I had a RRoD once... But there were no perplexity present, as I had in accident hit the power cable slightly off.

It's functioning properly as of this day.

My Xbox 360 has been running since release date, as has my SNES.

My grandfather's Atari, 1980-now (after a little tinkering, anyway)

All of my old consoles still work and are played regularly. I don't understand how you can break a console after only 5 years.

They dont make them like they use to, just like cars.

My old PC worked for a good 10 years, and that's with me being a young idiot with it. Sure, it was getting slow and terribly dusty/clogged. But it's in a better place now...

My PS3 is still happy and healthy.

And N64 is still kicking, as is my GBColor. X) Ahh, memories...

Well, my recently given away Gamecube was still working. Last I checked, my Dreamcasts were working (2 out of 3, with the third being only somewhat finicky), and my 360 has been working for the past four years. Also, my PS3 has been working since around launch.

My PS2 still works like a dream after almost 11 years of use.

Also, this.

Does a PC count? :3

Really. I mean, 2 of the 3 current gaming consoles have overheating problems (heck, until lately, the 360 getting RROD was sort of a rite of passage). But the gamecube? That thing was a tank.

My Wii has been working since 2007 no problem, though I rarely play it anymore.

My 360 only red ringed once, and all I had to do was turn it off and on. I've had it for 2 years.

Pretty self explanatory.

I have a mide nineties PSX (Playstation) and N64 both hcugging along quite happily and a Sega Mega Drive that is even older.

The Meg and N64 will likely run forever on account of having no moving parts.

God of war 3 Xbox? wtf?

Gears not God

OT: my gamecube still works from release date

 

[Agarth]

My PS2 has survived somewhere from 4-5 years I'd say that's pretty long.

 

[The Hero Killer]

My Sega Genesis, I got it in 1992-93 and it still works to this day and my Gamecube still holds the title of most durable system I could kick that thing across the room and it will still keep playing. Funny how I've never had any problems with consoles until this generation.

 

[thibaut95]

my original xbox is still working after nine years and ofcourse my gameboy color from 1997

 

[NezumiiroKitsune]

My Playstation still works, which I've had since 1999.
