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

[61 Corpses]

The original playstation and the fatty xbox 360 (RROD on me within an hour of purchase)

 

[Panther]

Xbox 360 died on me like a year in (disk drive)...Only time ive ever had a console die Tossed it with the quickness and copped the triple.

PS1 also gave me a few issues but it was my fault for not taking care of the disks

 

[Deezay]

The first XBox was a buggy piece of shyt.
2 XBox 360s died on me (rrod)
Launch PS3 Ylod'd on me (My fault though. Placed it in a hotspot. My slim been kicking since launch though)

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

I could use that smiley too, especially for shyt like this (and YOU responding like you do)
PS2 Disc Read Error, and what did sony do?

And this is why I can't fukk with then, and you should learn to stop being a dumbass

Sony refuted the charges, claiming that there was nothing wrong with the hardware whatsoever.

Claimed there was NOTHING wrong with the hardware.
I have no reason to lie.. Funcoland. Sony rep one month after launch told us sony was aware of the issue and was gonna do NOTHING about it.
This is insider info I guess, its FACT.

But you know what, sony probably has changed there ways, right?

Sony denying THEY ARE AT FAULT FOR PSN BREACH

As a result Sony suffered a huge dent to its credibility. Company executives bowed in public and offered users free games to show their remorse.

But the Information Commissioner's Office, which promotes data privacy for individuals, said Sony's security measures at the time were not good enough for a company that trades on its technical expertise.

It acknowledged that the fine was "substantial" but argued that it was appropriate as the leak "directly affected a huge number of consumers, and at the very least put them at risk of identity theft".

At the time Sony told the BBC that it "strongly disagreed" with the decision.

So real talk, can we put the fanboy shyt to the side and you recognize sony could give a fukk about you.
No, seriously. They could give a fukk about you. I'm annoyed you all turn the other cheek to this shyt

I would say NES easily..
Then I say the PS1 .. I had to turn mine upside down to work...

Everything else is pretty much trouble free compared to those.... I mean i had problems but nowhere near the NES... I remember sometines it would take almost half a hour to get the damn game to work and by that time i didnt wanna play but you would be scared to turn it off so you left it on all night and then when you wanted to play it was frozen..

 

[Bboystyle]

ya'll nikkas who saying 360 must of never had an og NES. That shyt fukked up from the system to the games to the controller. U had to do techniques to get that shyt to work (blowing on cartridges, blowing inside the system, inserting a game a certain way,ect)


The Xbox 360 RROD was a cash cow for me though. Bought me a rework station and made mad money from reflowing and reballing. GOAT generation

 

[Kingshango]

The 360, I went through 6 of those motherfukkers.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Any Xbox hands down

 

[Black Magisterialness]

360 i BORROWED one from a friend and it RROD in a week...


my ps3's only crapped out because of my own lazy ness.

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

My PS3 was the worst. @ikbm can testify that we used to play 2k and it would freeze or give no sound. It was loud, slow, buggy and add to the fact that I couldn't watch my movies. The message system was awkward and it took forever to text. Nobody had a mic on COD. The graphics were bad. Really bad. 2k and FIFA looked choppy but looked beautiful on my 360. Thk God I sold that stupid console.

And no, those issues were popular

Worst gaming experience ever for me.

That sounded like a 360 fan boy post. Graphics and such have nothing to do with how the system functioned

 

[El Cocodrilo]

My PS3 was always smooth as eggs, glad I avoided the 360... everyone I knew that got one was fukked over by RROD

Only console I had a "problem" with was SNES where it would freeze when you try to start up a game but we fixed this by putting a folded up piece of paper wedged in the slot with the game cartridge. Worked everytime.

Slurp slurp slurp !!! Hope you wearing knee guards negga

 

[Fillerguy]

the xbox 360, had to two RROD on me.... one of them bricked a few days after the warranty passed. I had to learn a bit of engineering to fix them up and they died again a few months later

Im seen PS1 survive through some much shyt, playing games that looked like someone played frisbee with it. I had a N64 that survived multiple stair drops and a juice spillage. I think towards the end something was loose cuz it would make a jingling noise whenever you moved it.

 

[Bawon Samedi]

The fat white Xbox 360. Until I got the slim one and a PS3...

RROD'ed on me and broke nearly all my games...Not only that but it stopped reading discs.
