My son loves video games as much or more than most kids his age. At the same time though, he has more problems with them than I expect most have. He has had an Xbox360 RROD then it was fixed but now it has random freezes. Then we got another one and his sister decided to pour oatmeal in it. He has 2 old style Xbox consoles as well and I had to solder the power connector back into one and replace the DVD drive in the other. His Nintendo DS Lite had to be shipped in for warranty work at the start of the year. Finally, his Nintendo Wii had the power cord become separated at the tip last week so I replaced it and last night his sensor bar quit working and I replaced it as well.
As fun as they are these systems don't seem worth the money sometimes. He's not hard on them that I am aware of. Do any of you have this many problems?
psh.. screw consoles PC FTW!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can close this damn blogpost, Xbox 360 is the best anyhow :P
ReplyDeletei dunno, as far as electronic gadgets go, consoles remain in the cheaper tier. they should still be reliable of course, but i do expect better life out of a laptop that say, a Wii.
ReplyDeleteI don't own one, but my friends who own 360's have all had similar problems. If you're dead set on console gaming, I'd probably invest in a ps3, but otherwise, I'd recommend making the switch to PC gaming. PC's are a lot more reliable, plus you can upgrade them.
ReplyDeleteI feel the PC is the best gaming console
ReplyDeletegood stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteJust unlucky when it comes to consoles?
