    My Silver died...
    Well it was put in a washing machine anyways... But i think it just drained the power from the battery faster than normal.. My gold was working the last time i played it.. But that was months ago. Its most likely dead now. But i have them as ROMs, which is good.

    All my internal batteries still work... my oldest game is a Blue edition from 1998 (I think), so you can think what quality it is. And yes, I played this edition excessively, still up to today. I wonder how long this battery will be operating.
    I think of buying a new Red or Blue edition on amazon or elsewhere, so that I don´t have to kill that old one.

    I bought my Silver copy when it first came out and it's still going strong! I have another one from a friend which is also still running. I guess I'm just lucky, eh?

    My Blue and Crystal's internal batteries have died, but not my Gold. I've had that one for 8 years so far and he's still going and going :P

    I've had my Crystal now for... I don't know, years, got it when it was first released, and the battery hasn't died yet. Even though I play it a lot.

    Makes me happy and sad at the same time, happy that it hasn't died yet and sad knowing that it will eventually.

    I find this very interesting. Christmas 1998 I received Blue version. 101 hours logged over 10 years and the battery is still kicking. Sometime in 2001 I bought Silver. After about five years and maybe 50 hours the battery died. I bought a Red version from a friend when I was 12, but the battery in that was dead when I got it. I plan on replacing that soon...

    My Gold's still going strong afer fifty hours, and none of my game's except silver have run out of battery.

    As for Silver? I got a used copy of it for my birthday. The internal battery was already dead.

    Man... I haven't checked my Blue in a long time. RBY can really die? =x
    As for GSC, I bought them in this order:
    Gold, Crystal, and then Silver (I don't know why... XD).

    I checked them out like a month ago... Gold is dead, lol, the save file is gone. Crystal is still there, but I played Crystal more than Gold so I'm too afraid to touch it... XP
    I actually restarted a game in Silver at that time and started to get really attached to it but the whole internal battery thing frightened me... so I stopped playing it. ^^;;

    I don't know where you find those batteries... or who can replace them for me... ): Boo.

    wow.. someone remade my old thread o_o

    anyway.. I've had Silver die on me, and when I bought Gold, the battery was dead! :(

    but the nice guys and good ol' Gametraders repaired both of my games for a small fee of $10 per game :)

    And my Crystal is still running fine :)
