Why doesn't Jeff's stuff break?

I was watching some old gamespot videos and... why does Jeff's stuff never break? His NES doesn't require anything to make games run, his PS1 still works perfectly and he didin't have to flip it over, and I don't think he ever had a PS2 or even 360 breakdown.

Whats up jeff?

Probably takes care of it.

"Probably takes care of it."

The only console I ever had a problem with was my 8-bit Nintendo, and that's it.  I give it slack, though, because it was at the beginning of home console technology...so it's not like anyone really knew what the hell they were doing in making a machine that will last for umpteen jillion years.

Then again...if you look at the 360...maybe we still haven't learned.

I just want to point out that my Sega products have NEVER stopped working out of all my consoles.  = D

Im sort of thesame way, I guess. The only console that has ever died on me was a Gamecube that I bought used (which I assume had something to do with the breaking >.>). Even my NES works fine. SNES and N64 still get semi-frequent use even.

Never had a console die on me. PCs though.. thats a different story.

He is God. And not that Allah god who had Little Big Planet delayed!

Eh...I take very good care of my stuff and my electronics in particular and I'm now on my fourth Xbox 360.  There's a little bit more to it than just "taking care of your stuff."

It's because Gerstmann's shit runs on the same stuff Gerstmann himself runs on.

Pure Afghani horse. All day long.

My 360 disc tray doesn't open vertically but that's it. My PS2 of 7 years still works fine.

Yeah, you would be shocked to see the lengths I go through.  My 360 and PS3 are both sitting next to one another on a rack with nothing else above or below them.  I have an 8" clip-on fan circulating air around behind them since the LCD TV puts out quite a bit of heat when it's on for awhile.  (I don't have any pictures, but I have a stand that has an integral flat panel mount on it..two shelves, and then the TV is far above the shelves)  They are in a room that is almost always air-conditioned when a console is on.  My consoles are almost never moved, and certainly not moved while they're on.  On top of all of that, I have them fed through a high end home-theater grade power conditioner and UPS system.

My super Nintendo is still going strong! I haven't been careful with it either, its dumped around somewhere.

Now my 64 has broken though.

Yeah, the SNES is a sturdy hunk of plastic.

I've never had a console break on me yet either, and my brother has a 360 that has ever had the rings yet. the PS1, PS2, and an N64 all work fine.

Jeff is the man , and a man lives like a hero  :D

Well, I've never had a PC part break on me, in all my life, the only problems I've encountered are software ones.

My SNES works great, but I did have to replace the 72 pin connector on my NES to keep it in good working order.  My Gameboy Pocket continues to work chug along, but my Genesis and PS1 are on their last legs.  I blame Final Fantasy 7 and 8 for killing my PS1 with hundreds of hours played on them.  Oh how I miss being a middle school kid with nothing better to do.

My 360 of nearly 2 years still works perfectly.

better yet why doesnt anyone talk about older ps2 failure rates... they were quite high

as for jeff having no hardware problems.... Im sure he takes care of those as if his life depended on them ... We game in our leisure time, for him its part of his job. And of course his womanly hads like he said earlier...

My 360 is almost 2 years old and aside from some ejecting problems it works fine...

My equipment is laaaaiiiiid back.

My gear is, too.

And also my video game hardware.

Personally, I chalk it up to my soft, almost womanly hands. And occasional dusting.

It's a conspiracy. Jeff's stuff break all the time, but he just buys new stuff and bury the old so nobody will ever know, just so he can get world domination.

Don't believe his lies!

My 360 died once, my PS2 stopped reading DVD's, My PS1 never had a chance to die (as it was stolen from me three times), but the NES was the most faulty piece of equipment I've ever had. We must have replaced it a good six or seven times (we being more my Mom, as I was like four years old) before we got the almighty top-loader, and never had a problem again --- until someone stole it, that is...yeah.

All my retro consoles still work in perfectly fine order and they look brand new, I take really good care of my consoles and always have since I got my first. I take pleasure in keeping them minty new. Even the consoles I own that are prone to yellowing like the PC Engine, Dreamcast and SNES still look new because I keep them out of the light and away from dust.  I actually rub some with total sun block from time to time, seriously lol.

"Probably takes care of it."

I have a NES, SNES, Genesis (well MegaDrive actually), N64, PS1, Dreamcast, 2 GBC's, GBASP, DS, PSP, N-Gage, 2 Gamecube's, 2 Xbox's, PS2, Wii, 360 and a PS3. The only thing thats ever broke for me is N-Gage which had a software problem was fixed within a week by Nokia and my 360 had 3 red lights once, thats it everything still works perfectly.

I never had problems with my 360 or my nes..ect had problems with ps1 and ps2 though.
Blowing in your nes doesn't work just makes it worse which is why i took my nes apart and use a nail file to get any rust or dirt off the contacts and used a cleaning kit to clean my carts.
