My worst experience so far is the possessed PS3 controller which presses buttons on its on. Sony is known for making shitty consoles.

never had a problem really. but i tend to treat my consoles right so that might have something to do with it.

HAHAHAHA. You must have never played a Sony console before. You're implying that me treating my consoles other than right has to do with its horribly made hardware and terrribly written software, correct? Well I've been using a GameBoy AC adapter for 15 years while my PSP has encountered four in its life time, each of which broke in a matter of 10 months to a year. When I l attempt to sign into PSN it fails from time to time and tells me a hundred incorrect errors such as DHCP and DNS despite the fact that my PS4 can connect to PSN without a problem. Not to mention the possessed controller. None of these problems have to do with "treating" it. Come on man.

The accursed copies i got of Sonic Riders Zero Gravity, Sonic Unleashed, and Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3

 

For some reason, they:

 

- Either couldn't save with any Memory Card

- Or they would just black out, and wouldn't run at all

I've never bought a Nintendo disc that caused memory leaks yet. Only PlayStation 3 games like Black Ops 2 and another have memory leaks, I don't know why this problem is more common with PlayStation games than with Nintendo games.

When I was a kid, I had a PS1, and the worst experience is when you put in a game, the console boots up, it stays on the boot up screen, and it doesn't transition to the PS1 logo. Then I panic because the disk probably won't ever read again. We took care of our console, but one little scratch was enough to mess it up a game for a good while.

 

For the PS3, most of the ports of other games were just terrible because of its overly-complicated hardware...*coughcoughskyrimcoughcough*

When I bought my PS2, went to play it and.... it wouldn't work.

 

Had to have it fixed.

I've never had an issue with any of them. But I dont have problems with any of my consoles really. Cept for when I had a 360 and it scratched the firetruckout of my disc because i tilted the thing. I wasnt even playing the game -_-

My PS2 stopped reading DVDs (Including games).

I remember this happened to me. I had to clean the eye with alcohol and cotton swabs.

Heeey I used to use that trick for my fat ps2 all the time, then after a couple years, that stopped working and I got a skinny. I haven't had problems since.

Bad ports, I guess. The Ezio Trilogy I got for my PS3 was so glitchy it didn't work half the time. Plus, long load times in general, not just for games, but for dashboard menus too (why the firetruck does it have to take me two whole minutes just to look at my own trophies?!)

 

Though I don't know what other people are talking about with badly made consoles, I still have my old fat PS2 from 2002 that still works like a dream, and I've never had any hardware problems with the PS3, only software.

problems with the PS3, only software.

 

That's worse.

That's worse.

 

Arguably. But like I said, they were minor, and I should add few and far between.

My old PSP-1000 is mostly bricked because of some custom firmware installed... only I never installed it =P. I think it might have had to do with this accessory I was using (some grips with inbuilt speakers and a battery extender... sounds cool until you realize I got it for like two bucks from a Fry's sale, so this is probably why), but it's always been the tech thing that nagged at me.

 

Aside from that, not a thing, which is why I keep buying their products. Sony makes quality stuff, both hardware and software; if I've ever had a complaint, it's because something lasted ten years instead of eleven.

I have gone through 7 PS2s (shoutouts to my sister). I have had issue with PSN in the past. My PS4 sometimes acts up. Other than that I am fine. 

My first PS3 stopped being able to read discs one day; My second suddenly turned off from time to time, until it was so frequent it never even got to the home screen. And I remember something happening to my first PS2, but I don't recall the details. Overall not too bad, I have friends with 360's that died about every 2 weeks.

The only problems I've ever had with my consoles was my GameCube that just stopped reading games for some reason and my 3 red ringed 360s

lulz

No problems so far.

I don't even own it, but the fact that the Vita exists is my answer

dont get cocky mongrel. i own every sony console there is. and then some. i only went with the obvious difference between us as an answer to this ridiculous question.

what

Well, we have a PSOne (Slim version, or whatever the smallest one was called) that has the spring-loaded disc tray which doesn't close properly (requires a piece of tape to keep shut), but that's more than likely due to us being dumb kids when we got it, and the fact we got it second hand from our uncles who don't really take care of their game consoles.

 

I will say that I find Dualshock controllers to be pretty horrible (the Dualshock 4 is pretty decent, though), and I can never find a entirely comfortable way to hold it. Oh, and the newer variation of the Vita feels terribly fragile, to the point where I hate holding it because I feel like I could just break it in half or snap off an analog nub...

 

Other than that, I've not found much fault in PS hardware.
