Worst functioning console you've ever had to put up with?

[The_Sheff]

yo nikkas had routines
Blow in the game
put the game in press it up and down 4 times
reset it twice
take it out pull the plug from out the wall
frustrating as fukk!
I think the only game that would consistently work for me was this bullshyt I stole from my cousin called 8 Eyes or some shyt

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, that was the only game one of my boys owned and it was some BULLshyt!. I could only beat the 1st level, and im assuming due to the title of the game there were 8.

You had this hawk or falcon that you could control but it was very difficult to get it to do anything.

brehs shoulda just used q-tips and alcohol swaps

How in the hell was a 6 year old suppose to know to do that?

i remember hearing something about blue disks, but for real tho looking back i just think to myself we had the receipts , why didnt we just get another ps2

Because just like today once you open up the game they wouldn't take it for a return or exchange. shyt had a nikka on Christmas like

And this piece of shyt didn't work

That laughing dog used to get on my fukking nerves

[iamstr8fire]

It was either ps1 or ps2 with the fukkin ball bearings always coming loose...

The most annoying would be the PS1 followed by the NES
The most detrimental by FAR is the PS2 followed by the X360

Spoiler

PS1 having to put your system upside down to work is a travesty.
The NES cartridge thing while annoying, I took pleasure because I had a way of getting it to work when others couldn't
You had to slide the cartridge all the way to one side on some systems. Others You had to have it perfectly in the middle

The PS2 Disc Read Error was horrid because warranties for consoles was not mandatory at the time
You could buy them from the store you bought them from. Sony would charge you to fix the system that YOU BROKE is how they carried it
So when launch systems wouldn't work out the box, if you didn't get insurance, you was shyt out of luck
I worked at Funcoland when they released, was only able to return my system because I worked there
Had to deal with countless angry customers. So we had to make it PERFECTLY CLEAR the risk to each customer

The sony rep who came to our store let it be known to us that they knew of the DRE issue and that they was gonna do NOTHING about it
Thats when I joined the greener side (still had a PS2) but
Just in case anyone is wondering why I prefer the X over the S.

The X360 wasn't even that annoying honestly since they fixed everything for free. But dealing with customer service sometimes was not pleasant

NES easily. If it wasnt the console that fukked up, your games wouldnt work for shyt. You had to blow on them, beat them, push the shyt in teh system so it was barely in there and jam the game down, then press reset 20 times just to boot up a damn game.

getting an NES game to start was a game all unto it's self.

i had a party a few months ago and i busted out my NES for the parent's kids to play....big mistake.
i tried to teach them how to blow on the cartridges and they could not get it.
i spent the whole night blowing on cartridges and getting the NES to play for them.


fun times for the kids though.

 

[Sypress]

yep, I remember all this towards the end of my NES's life

I heard Japan's top-loading Famicom didn't have a lot of those issues

To solve the original's flaws, they released this top loader......in 93, 8 years after the original was released.

the snes came out 2 years prior

 

[hotbeezie]

My first ps3 was bytch...I was saltier than an muggg when my NCAA '09 got stuck and my shyt yellow lighted.



When my super nintendo wouldn't play super tecmo bowl III



My genesis is a champ tho

 

[ChrisDorner]

Fun fact: I was a 360 stan prior to 2010. :ohmy1:

 

[WhodatWhoadi]

ps2 and 360 thee most fukked up built consoles ever!

but I sill dealt with them like a battered wife..because of ps2s top notch game catalog and xbox live.

 

[Ciggavelli]

360 definitely.

But like somebody said before,PCs have given me the most trouble through the years.

 

[up in here]

Nintendo
Blowing in them goddman cartridges
I never beat Ninja Gaiden cause the shyt kept fukkin up on me

sure sure, it was the systems fault you never beat ninja gaiden

 

[mrken12]

People really are shytting on the PS2? Mine was still going strong. Maybe y'all weren't treating it right.
