Console failures
 

Just wanting to get some information about NZG consoles:

1. Which current-gen' consoles do you own?

2. Have you had any hardware failures in any of them?

3. If so, which console[s] and how many failures each?

4. What were these failures?

5. Did any of these failures recur with replacement units?

Thanks in advance, if you take part :)
