After 4 years of use my PS3 is finally gone. This got me thinking, we must all have memories like this. Our favorite console or handheld or peripheral, one day you go to use it and the life is gone. Sometimes we break our own poo poo, sometimes its defective and sometimes it just dies of natural causes.

What are your stories imps

I got a PS4 when I was in the desert so I could play Bloodborne (and MGSV) and the GPU died as I was fighting enemies on my way to the forest. It was 2 months before I was able to play Bloodborne again. Those were trying times let me tell you.

Literally all of my consoles still work. I found my GBA SP recently and that thing was still holding a charge even.

My Gamecube stopped reading discs when I tried to replay Wind Waker like 5 years ago. My PS2 also stopped reading certain discs unless i flipped it upside down. I remember having to do that to play Guilty Gear X.

You've got to know, to understand,
Baby, take me by my hand,
I'll lead you to the promised land.
My ps4 pro bricked itself five hours into FFXV so i got disappointed twice and also over a longer period of time.

My dad gave my Dreamcast to a poor kid down the street without telling me.

For me it was America's Army: Rise of a Soldier and it made me too scared to ever play a backwards-compatible original Xbox game on a 360 ever again even though that probably didn't have anything to do with it.

My cousin's copy of Pokemon Yellow that he told my family I shoved up my rear end because the connector had brown corrosion on it. I did not shove the cartridge up my rear end, but I was humiliated.

I have played my N3DS so much that the paint on the right hand side has been stripped clean by skin oil.

Same. The gold Zelda paint on both the left and right side of my N3DS is gone. It was probably all the monster hunter.

When I was a kid we were dirt poor but my dads best friend owned pawn shops and he kept giving me PSX consoles that didn't work and I spent hours every night trying to piece a working one together. 13 year old me knew more about the inner workings of the ps one than probably anyone outside sony. The day I got one working would've been the best moment of my young teenage life but then I had sex like six months later so

I also lost my first Gameboy, one of the transparent ones, to a broken screen. Luckily I got one of the classic white bricks to replace it.

i left my SNES in cuba w/ my cousins when i was 14. i think the 360 and such were already out and i was diving into PC gaming with CS and hl2 etc. but that donkey kong country 2 cart had a bunch of 102s in it, and I 102'd it again in cuba to say goodbye.

The original PSone run was notorious for the little motor that moved the laser burning out, and in some of them the CD spindle motor would die. I lucked out and got one with a working laser and just swapped the spindle motor. I dont remember if it worked very long
