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

[Atmos Duality]

My NES still works after...27 years?
The Atari and Intellivision MIGHT still work. I need a goofy pre-coax connection to test it.

 

[Garret866]

Em.. that would be my very old SEGA Mega Drive and dreamcast, one of which i older don't know
although the mega drive doesn't actually connect to anything so..

I own a 360, a PS3, an x-box, a PS2, a gamecube, a N64, SNES and a few gameboy generations.

Got them all relativey fresh witht he exception of the SNES which was my first console. And only the x-box broke over time with the laser being unable to read the cd's anymore. The rest is still in perfectly fine working condition.

I had a PS2 one of the first few year it came out and didnt stop using it till almost a year after the PS3 came out.

Now as to how long ive had a console run without turning it off, my gamecube was one for abour 30 hours (getting that mewtwo in SSBM and then a few hours of custom robo) before i turned it off.

well my origanal playstaion 1 is still working since its luanch and also my ps2 is still working from its luanch day.
there both probley the best consoles ive ever owned, and id never replace them unless i had to, and the latest gen of consoles i luagh at there life span is no where near as long as the old gens and to be honest i dont like them at all, ive tried them and there rubish.

Both my PS1 and my PS2 work flawlessly.
Has had the PS1 since the late nineties and the PS2 since 2004.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

My PS1 is still going after what 15ish years? My PS 2 and Game Cube are about 8ish years old and still going strong and my 360 crapped out after about 5-6 years. Not bad for a launch 360 if I do say so myself.

My SNES still works from 1993. My Sega Genesis still works from 1995. My original Gameboy still works too, I just dont know where it is at the moment.

 

[Takolin]

my original gameboy (around 17years old) still somewhat functions assuming you fiddle around with the batteries until they connect properly but the save function doesn't seem to work anymore seeing the memory just resets after I shut down the power.

 

[RaNDM G]

Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis still play like a dream after almost twenty years.

 

[Phlakes]

My N64 has been going since the year the console released, although the Reset button is broken.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Well my Atari 2600 works lol. As does my Master System and SNES. I like to play Yoshi's Island a lot :3

 

[Liberaliter]

My Playstation, 1995 - long after humanity has become extinct judging by how sturdy my one is.

 

[xochiquetzal]

My NES. got it 12 years ago and still up and running

 

[Dyme]

SNES has lasted about twenty years and it still works. Now, just to find that sneaky wee scart... anyway, I've also had my PS2 since early 2000s I think. PS1 a wee bit longer, likewise with my Gameboy Color! Though I haven't tried the former in donkeys.

I also still have "my" SNES (my now 29year old brother bought it, and gave it to my 22 year old brother, who then gave it to me).
And it works fine as ever. Still the same controllers and they also still work. Which is surprising considering how much anger and nerdchildrage they had to withstand.

Yea, same here. I think my Atari still works. I don't remember it breaking, but I have that dumb two prong thing also.

 

[CthulhuMessiah]

My SNES has continued to work since it came out.

Haha, it's actually my 45 year old mother's! I've sort of claimed it mind... I think there's also an atari lying around somewhere. Actually, it was my great granda on my mum's side who got her and my aunt into gaming! Now I'm talking classic Pong and original atari. Hells. Yeah. As a matter of fact, the box the SNES was one is under my bed. Oh! And we have this scope thing, you might have it too?

First XBox 360 lasted 10 months.
The repair of that lasted 9 months.

So, I got a new one that lasted a year before it RRoD'd on me again.
The repair of that one lasted a year.

Got a new one again that lasted 11 months. That RRoD'd.
Fixed it then decided "Fuck this."

So, I trade that in for an 120GB Elite, a second hand console. That has lasted going on three years (I think three years, can't remember when I got it. ) now with no RRoD's and just the odd "Cannot read disc" error.

Before that though, a N64 that survived for fuck knows how long before my dad binned it for no reason. (Some lucky fucker got a free N64 that day. XP) and before that, a PS2 that survived 9 years. My current second hand PS2 may be broken though, not really sure.

I still have a working Intellivision [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellivision] from 1980.
