Console failures

chiQ · 17th June 2007, 19:03

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

1. Which current-gen' consoles do you own?
A. Wii and DS Lite

2. Have you had any hardware failures in any of them?
A. None yet.

Wouldn't it be better if we keep the questions when replying? Better to read that way when the thread gets long.

Code:

console	owners	units	faults	f.units	E/C
xbox360	15	18	5	4	0.222222222
PS3	4	4	0	0	0
Wii	17	17	0	0	0

We don't really have a meaningful sample yet, but this is how it's looking so far.

E/C = faulty units/units
f.units = faulty units
