Ever had a console crap out on you? What was the reason?
London-based online gadget insurance company, Protectyourbubble.com, says that one-fourth of all console claims they’ve seen is for drinks accidentally spilt over the system. Here’s a list of the top 5 issues they come across:
1. Software problems (33%)
2. Spilt drink (24%)
3. Hardware failure (16%)
4. ‘Red Ring of Death’ (14%)
5. Game stuck in machine (5%)
Barring the Red Ring of Death, what issues have you most commonly faced with your game systems over the years? Last year, my DS Lite succumbed to a broken right hinge and is being held together by a rubber band. Oh, and my PS2 controller’s left analog stick decided to come loose.
