playstations (1 and 2) from experience are low-maintennanc consoles with cheap parts and is easy to repair. my old psone lasted 5 years since 1999 with a history of a few skipping or unreadable games (though i solved that by tilting the ps1 in different kinds of angles) and breaking once due to external idiocy (my lil bro plugged the 110v PS1 in a 220v socket), and at the last year it finally broke but still due to external idiocy (all thanks to my auntie)
my ps2 was bought in 2001 and, up to now (even with all them dust surrounding it due to laziness on cleaning the console) it's still functional. it became screwy though when i modded it to play imports but the mod is not fully compatible with all games and kinda messed the cd reading system, so currently i can only play my "The Sims" and watch DVDs (should've gone for the better, more expensive mod which makes it compatible w/ nearly everything! but that's besides the point). i may be repeating myself but even with all that my ps2 is still as good as ever.
so being a low maintennance system i kinda noticed that it doesn't get as overheated as compared to other electrical appliances, that's why i can squeeze in a lot of gaming all-niters before it slows the system for a few seconds (especially the ps1! man the system was used for like, 4-digit hours!)
that's why playstations became so popular...
kaz: i think one of the reasons playstations in your area break down easily is that sony doesn't seem to give the same quality control on PAL systems compared to that of ntsc and ntsj systems (or i may be mistaken since i'm not really up-to-date with the quality assurance of the newer systems... tch! whatever...)
