A memoir to everyone who's had a console brick up at some point. If you'd like me to add you to the wall, post here, state your console, the month and year it bricked (if you can remember) and a quirky little epitaph to go on the wall.

GTM - April 9th 2009 - Xbox 360 - "Screw you Gears, I'm going Home!"

I've also decided instead of making a massive list here, I'll make a completely OTT image of the wall later on.

My Playstation 1.

Circa 2002.

"So long, and thanks for all the discs."

GTM, didn't you get your X360 less than a year ago?
Surely it's still in warranty.

I got my 360 in 2005, so no :/ Sod it, I'll try and get it fixed anyways.

My SNES.

Summer of 2008 - "I'm sorry I blew on your cartridges."

Wii.

Summer 2007.
-I'm sorry that my brother broke your SD card entry, now I will beat him up.-

PS2 - 2005

"I'm sorry I left you on top of the fireplace."

NES - 1994 "I guess I can't fashion you into armor for my cat.
SNES - 1995 "Nor you."
XBOX360- 2006, 2007, 2009. "Eugh."

2002 - A friend's Dreamcast "Yeah, my Dreamcast died. Here, you can use my spare controller until I get a new one."
2002 - My Dreamcast "I can't believe my Dreamcast died so soon after his. And right after I plugged this controller in too."
2002 - My second Dreamcast "Wait, is this controller seriously killing Dreamcasts? Is that even possible?"

Nintendo Gamecube - 2008. "the BLT sandwich in your innards finally took its toll"

Gamecube 2005 Look at aaaaalllllll that dust.

My NES, 2009.
You are a birthday present and you don't work. I found an NES in the rain, and it still works. Why can't you?

2008 - NES

"I knew we were near the end when I needed to shove a remote control in the cartridge hatch just to play Mario Bros./Duck Hunt."

Amazingly my gamecube still works after a television (at least 15 pounds) fell square on top of it. The grille on one side is all compacted and it makes an odd sound, but amazingly it continues to run.

PS - 1999

"You broke to many disks to be in 'working' condition."

My Brother's PSP - 2008

"A PSP!

It's broken...

It's fixed!

It's broken... Again..."

And Matt, how many problems have you had with the 360 now? Isn't this your second or third Red Ring of Death?

2009 - Xbox 360, RROD

Uhm, what year was it...2004.

Nintendo Gamecube - "Think fast chucklenuts."

Yeah it got smashed by an inflatable chain chomp that came free with a magazine that me and a friend were messing around with. It knocked the 'cube off the top of my chest of drawers and it wedges between them and my wardrobe. It barely survived, but we called it quits.

2 weeks of usage later (1 week, 9 day holiday, 1 week) and it has to go in for repair again.

Go MS go.

2008-Game Boy Color

I knew there was something up when my Pikachu was green and red.

When they are out of warranty it just means you dont get it done for free - it's ~£60 instead.
