Has anyone ever broken a video game console here?

[«Jack»]

My DS Phat's control screen is permanently funky, so I have to adjust where I touch. Thing is, it can't be re-calibrated, so it's stuck that way.

every nintendo system ive had has broke, wii stopped reading discs once, you had to hit the eject button a bunch of times to get it working at one point, and i had a melted graphics chip another time. original ds' r button stopped working, and my gamecube stopped reading discs. never had an issue with n64 though.

Contradiction much?

fixed

How many Nintendo systems have you owned? I'm guessing you've had a few Game Boys, and you didn't mention anything about them except that "the screens scratch too easily". Scratching isn't breaking. If it still functions, it's not broken.

SNES - Wii

original gameboy - DSLite

and scratches suck, it may work but its not as fun.

and snes.. im not sure what happened to that thing.... i think i mightve sold it, not sure..

So, you've had the Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, Super NES, Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, and Wii, yet only your Nintendo DS, GameCube, and Wii stopped working. That's three out of eleven, or about 27%. No where near "almost every". And scratches may be annoying, but it's your fault for not protecting your system. All screens are susceptible to scratches. If you don't want them, then either get a screen protector or be more careful. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was your fault that your DS, GameCube, and Wii broke, too.

Not that I can recall.



Oh wait..
PSP screen.


Yeeep.

The Right Shoulder button on my DS sometimes goes dodgy (I swear it's only when I'm playing Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days when I need it the most to move the camera!) but that's it for consoles. Mobiles/iPods/Laptops are a completely different story though!

it wasnt my fault, ive always looked after my systems, i still do, i dont move them or anything, ill dust around them and all but still, they never fell or any of that crazy stuff. and the old systems were beastly they never busted, once it hit gamecube though, thats when i got my first broken system, ironic that its the same system that started to send nintendo downhill. and im not sure if i owned gameboy pocket, i cant remember that far back. not sure about SP either, probably not because it was just anther waste of money redesign.

You must've hit your GameCube pretty damn hard, because mine's been thrown across rooms and down the stairs, kicked, and stomped on, and it still works like a charm. My Wii did stop reading discs at one point, but that was likely due to me stupidly putting it in a case and letting it overheat. Anyway, I sent it to Nintendo and they fixed it right up, and it works just fine now. And why do you even buy Nintendo systems if you hate them so much? Then again, you also bash Nintendo on a Nintendo-based forum... Why are you even here, again?

I take really good care of my stuff, so I rarely break videogame consoles. ^^
But I did have that disc read problem with the PS2. And I love it, so that was a problem. But all you have to do to fix it is wipe the little light thinger with a tissue! =D

Also, I once took down my friend's Wii by tripping on a gamecube wire, I felt SO BAD. ;;_;; It exacerbated preexisting problems, too! But she wouldn't let me pay for repairs. :<

 

[Rawburt]

Geez, I didn't think breaking a Gamecube was possible short of throwing it into a trash compactor, that takes talent.

And my R button broke on my DS Phat, that's pretty much it.

 

[Jake]

My "friend" was a douche bag and we were on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. And he was using the GameCude controller, and then he pulled the controller towards him really hard and it fell off the shelf and he broke it. Then my dad and his mum agreed he should pay for a new one. So he bought me a new one and I have never spoken to him since.

(it was the first version Nintendo released)

 

[Sonicdan369]

Lets see...4 sega genesises, 2 gamecubes, plus a wonky N64 that works when it feels like it. More to come.

 

[The Sign Painter]

My Wii Eject button doesn't work right away and I had to send it into Nintendo around 2008.

A while back I had this pink DS (now I have a black DSi) and it was in purse. I was bored, so I started swinging it around. I was doing it pretty hard, so when I got home and opened the bad the top part of the DS was hanging off by wires. My dad wasn't too happy...
