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

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

All of my consoles and handhelds are in working order, including my NES, Mega Drive and SNES. I've never had a console crap out on me. Guess I'm lucky like that.

Everything older than last gen is no longer in use though. I safely stored them about 5 years ago and I now play their games through emulation.

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.

First off, may I say, you obviously either have money to burn or you like shiny things waaaaaay too much.

As for the thread content, my original NES still runs after having been used for over 20 years, my PSO is still working even though the only games I can still play on it I've become bored with after fifteen years and I've still got my GBO and GBC still up somewhere that I lost about a month ago, as for my shortest running console I have a PS2 I bought used and played for about 2 months before I got tired of the games, and am still playing my 360 after around 6 years

My NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Colors (2 of 'em), N64, GameCube, Wii, PS2, PS3, Dreamcast, and GameGear all still work perfectly.

The only thing that has died on me was an XBOX and, unless someone gives it to me free, there's no way in hell I'd own a 360.
Any console that is regularly expected to last less than the 10 year console generation lifespan is a retarded joke.

My Xbox hardly reads discs anymore. That means my collection of games never work.

The Gears Xbox comes with $120 of controllers, a $20 headset, a month of Live, the $60 game, and a massive 320GB harddrive.

I get 200 bucks of equipment for only 100.

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..

 

[Hiname]

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.

 

[emeraldrafael]

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.

 

[satanslawer123]

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.

 

[Jareor]

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.

 

[chrono16]

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.
