After the second console doing that to me, I decided then was the time to move on to PC.

>tfw i've been gaming since the NES and never had a console die
My NES even still runs. Not well, though

I would turn on my ps3 and enjoy it for the rest of my time, leaving my 360 in the closet
the 360 is just a stand for my tv now

>replugged the power brick
>worked fine afterwards

false alarm just needed to reconnect the power brick

Made a good chunk of change off of repairing these. Easy as fuck too.

>mfw my original 360 still works, but I've had 4 PS3s fail on me.

overheating the fuck out of it was surprisingly effective apparently.

Shit, I forgot. I did have one console die on me. My slim PS2 did. My fat one still works though
