I've had 3 and I thought that was unlucky...

Had my 20gb launch console till 2008, it RROD'd - I managed to keep it alive with the 'towel-trick' for awhile though!

Then I bought a second-hand console to replace it, seemed like the cheapest option, bad idea as that broke about a year later.

Then I gave in and bought a brand new Elite. I've heard they're better designed and so less likely to break, however my brother's Elite did break recently so fingers crossed mine won't!

I'm one of the lucky ones... I've only had 2 systems.

Had a 120GB Elite that never died, I just decided to upgrade a an Xbox 360 S as I'm a sucker for the latest and greatest tech.

2, my older cousin's Halo: CE Xbox, & my new 250 GB Xbox 360 S console. Like my gold Zelda Wii Remote Plus, my Xbox 360 has a flame red Xbox controller w/ a transforming d-pad.

KenB - They're awesome. I love using them. The d-pad still isn't perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. It looks really nice, but like my 3DS it needs to be polished regularly because this grimy dark stuff forms where your hands touched. It looks amazing, works great, and is my prize controller. I got my 3DS at launch hoping the flame red prototype would be available, but it wasn't until months after, so my flame red Xbox controller sort of made up for it. Flame red electronics look so bada**. They're some sort of fiery shade of red that radiates this divine glow.

I had a console since launch day that I had for 4 years but then I decided I just wanted to upgrade to one of the newer slim models so I sold that one and bought a new one. Never had any problems with either not working. So, I guess total number is 2.

I did that with my first PS2, so you're in good company. As it fell, I reached out and tried to grab it, knocking a full bottle of Pepsi all over it too.

Subconciously, I think I wanted it to die.

actually the PS2 was the only console i had to replace because a fault  my original PS2 developed the disc read error so i brought a slim

i also forgot to mention i lost a my copy of Mass Effect when i dropped the console the disc snapped in the 360, it was a sad day and i never bothered buying it again but then my dad brought me the Mass Effect Trilogy on PS3 for Christmas

I've never gotten a system more than once, but before I got my 3DS, my DSi had terrible L / R buttons. After a little less than a year, they started to have slightly inconsistent results. By the time I got my 3DS, there was a 2 / 3 chance they'd work, and if you held it, it would stop registering the press after a few seconds. Not good in a hard game if you know what I mean.

I've had about 2 Xbox 360's. Technically, the first one was a family console meaning it didn't really belong to one person. However, it was the awesome looking Halo 3 Edition Xbox, but it had trouble reading discs a few years ago. And I had the New Xbox with 250 GB of storage, but someone stole it a few months ago. It's not very dreadful though, cause I only had a couple of games for it.

Ironically, only the console was stolen while it was in my room stowed in the closet...and I had valuables and my laptop all over my room...

5 including a new slim at Xmas

3RROD since launch

You can say that again. My launch Dreamcast has survived all sorts of adverse conditions, including being kept in a damp garage for a year, and falling off a 5ft-high shelf at least twice. Still works beautifully.

They don't make 'em like that anymore!
