    Default Consoles/Handhelds you broke.

    What the title says.
    I only broke 2 game handhelds in my life. Both of them were GBAs. One of them was an SP, and suddenly, for some reason, the screen stopped working unless i bent it back really far. I bent it too far and it broke in half.
    The other one was a normal GBA which I fell and landed on the screen. The screen broke, but I didn't know you could replace the screen, so I threw it away.

    This isn't my console, but I've been with a person who threw their PS3 out the window. A three story fall. Yeah, it was destroyed. And it was hilarious.

    But as for me, all my consoles that broke are boring. Such as like 5 DS's with broken hinges, since they're built so awfully. Etc. etc.

    I broke a joystick or two and a few buttons on a keyboard when I was very little. As in, 6 or 7. I accidentally dropped my first PS2 pad a few times and kinda broke its R2 button. Other than that, I take relatively good care of my stuff.

    Why would he do that? Serious anger management issues?

    I broke an old banned Xenon 360 in a fit of rage when trying to do something to it. I forget what, but I ended up stabbing it to shit with a screw driver. No loss, because I had another 4 360s at the time.

    He was trying to get all the battle trophies in Star Ocean 4. He was so close, but the last couple trophies were just impossible. He said he invested like 600 hours into getting them, and those last few were literally impossible for him. In the end, I guess he just gave up and threw the game and the means to play it out the window in a fit of rage.

    Was someone waiting underneath to catch it and score a free PS3?

    That -^, or a controller. The worst I've had is a damaged spring in the r-trigger for my DSLite. It was the last time I let someone else play it, even in my presence.

    I've yet to break a console as well, but I was given a gamecube that had serious trouble reading discs (I think I was told that something was spilled on it) a few years ago, and I dropped it on the floor on purpose and it worked for a month with no problems, then the laser just quit on me.

    My old PS1 has troubles reading discs. I got it when I was 10 years old, and it was my first console. I guess I was just rough on it. I has survived 5 feet falls because somebody ran into the controller cord while I was playing it and pulled it off the cabinet.

    My younger brother broke my Gamegear AC adapter. That was a sad day. Those things were horrendous on batteries.
