My NES gave me the GSoD.
I found myself with a powerful urge to play Yo Noid! and then it ing died...
I tinkered around with it for about a week before giving up, I was crushed.
Now, about a year later, I finally get around to buying a replacement, the Retron 3.
NES, SNES and Sega Genesis, everything all packed into one small, red, ugly but functional console.

I had read a lot about the IR controllers that come with it being extremely retarded, so I went ahead and got a Genesis controller and an SNES controller too. My only problem now is that I don't own a single Genesis or SNES game. Looks like I'll have to scout around for something, I'd really love to get Earthbound, but I can't afford that $100+ pricetag I see everywhere. Even if I found it on CAG for considerably less, I'd have no way of paying anyone because of my lack of a paypal account. I guess I had better hit the yard sales around town, the bargain bin at Goodwill and Craigslist.
