I've actually had hardware problems with every console i've every owned back to the nintendo, with one exception.
The sega dreamcast. RIP buddy, you died too soon...
Funny story...my Sega dream cast made it through highschool and barely into my first year of college, then it caught on fire.
I was sitting there, playing Soul Caliber for the 3 millionth time, and I smelled smoke. Then, suddenly, it just freakin caught fire.
It just further made me realize just how lucky I was. The console gave me everything it had. It was like a Sega giving tree. It gave until it
caught on **** fire!
