I've worn out my storebought cube. I'm a little upset at this news actually. The spring has seemed to have found its way out from the centre piece that houses it.
First storebought broke the day after I got it.
Second storebought; I lost it because I left it in a desk at school
This was my third, and I promised myself the final one...Guess it's up to DIY's now. I wanna get a C4Y DIY and an old type A since I've heard good news about them...
Actually, what is the lifespan of a cube anyway?

EDIT: I have no cube now...I need to get one before the Canadian Open. I sure hope I can get them ordered.
 
2x2 got a 2.48 and i was like OMG!!!!! using CLL and then i realised it was a plus 2= 4.48

Actually, what is the lifespan of a cube anyway?
Years, if you get a good one. People who prefer storeboughts tend to have had theirs for a few years, and I don't think I've ever had one of my DIYs break (although one of my older ones did get too worn out to do really fast times on).

I had a good storebought that I used almost nonstop for 9 months. One of the centers broke. But, I used that so much that it probably got two years of use. :rolleyes:
