Topic	Will all video game consoles die after 50 years?
xjayguyx 04/12/21 11:30:35 PM #7:	You will have to at least do some small repairs to keep them going 50+ years. Capacitors leak over time for example. I buy and sell gaming stuff and I've had a lot of consoles from Atari 2600 to current and only a few didn't work and needed repairs. Some consoles will stand the test of time better than others as well. Taking care / using precautions will help a lot in the long run. Like taking out the battery in the PSP if stored away, it can swell up pretty bad as it ages. <cite>xjayguyx posted [p:952772071] in Will all v...
