Either your PSX was too close to something which gave out too much heat, I don\'t know. I\'ve had my PSX on for 4 straight days(couldn\'t find my memory card til the 4th day), lugged it in a suitcase, back pack, tossed around in the trunk of my car, dropped and kicked by accident.
I\'d say only a few were defective out of all the millions made. That\'s life. But man, to go through 5 PSX\'s? Your house must be extremely dusty and hot or there\'s too much humidity in your room. I find it hard to believe.
