why? it would be $4 more then fixing it.

That's how they broke. -__-; I cannot remember the details, but I think I remember something about a screw and it being stripped. I cannot remember now, it has been a few years.Originally Posted by theundeadhero
That's $95 Canadian, but yeah. :P If I knew there was a standard DS in the area for sale, I'd definitely buy it for that much. It's just that I live in a crappy little town that doesn't have any actual stuff in it.
Are you kidding me? DS is awesome.
Yeah I wondered if it was canadian dollars. so yeah proabably cheaper to just fix it.
Mine is simply a bit damaged. It's the hard-drive capable model that I battered angrily when I lost fighting or racing games. Can you guess why I like RPG's sooo much?
My father smashed my original NES in a fit of rage because I hadn't been doing my homework. Actually, it was his machine, it was a piece of crap that hardly ever worked, and I was spending most of my time on the Genesis.
My first PlayStation also rebelled after months of battering and I tried to repair it myself. All I ended up doing was disassembling it and losing all the parts. Some I kept in hopes of building a robot (Artoo-Detoo), which my dad promised we'd build. Blatant lie. Goofy bastard.
My second PlayStation is a little iffy. At least it can still play FF7.Controllers, my friend. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and a wireless. I inherited my anger management from my dad.
Well even with the money difference, I still thing it'd be worth the extra for a new one since my touch screen was kind of scratched up anyway. Be careful on the spinner parts of Elite Beat Agents. :P
Them's fightin' words.
So if you send it to repair, they'll just fix it and not replace it? Hmm...
If you can afford to get a new DS, I'd suggest getting the new one first if you have any important info for the Nintendo WiFi. You can transfer all of your WiFi settings from one DS to another instead of having to re-enter all the stupid friend codes all over again, but you can only do it when you have both DSes in front of you. Then you can send your broken one to get fixed (meanwhile you'll still have a DS to play :P) and once you get it back you can sell either of the DSes.
If I get a new DS, I'm not blowing $95 on getting my old one fixed. :P I'm not going to buy something just to sell it later. I'd still lose money.
There is only one thing left for you to do:
Write a letter demanding a replacement, outlining your ideas of ways they can improve on the original Nintendo DS, and then threaten to kidnap their sons, daughters, and sport(s?)cars if your demands are not met by the seventh full moon of the New Year.
I personally haven't broken any video game systems, accessories, or games. However, my older brother once threw a Nintendo controller across the room because he could not beat a high numbered level on Bubble Bobble.
And my older brother and little brother have been waging a war with each other over who actually broke a red Game Boy Color about six years ago. My older brother claims he set it down gently, while my younger brother demands that he slammed it with such force that the screen shattered.
Me? I just sit back and play my blue Game Boy Color. Smirking.
None of my consoles have broken apart from my PS2, which I replaced, then that one broke. After that I said to myself "smurf Sony" and went into the guts of the PS2 to see if I could fix the problem. That I did, and a year on my PS2 still works fine.
:P
DS LITE GET!
I've only had three hardware related gaming failures/mishaps/whatever.
The plastic covering on my original Game Boy came off after I dropped it.
My PS2 is old andty, it almost refuses to read discs at all.
My Xbox controller's fans have stopped working, probably from leaving it on lying on a bed or the floor.
Reminds me of my friend who won't buy an MP3 player, because if he drops it, it might break. In other words, you should take better care of the new DS Lite you will be getting.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
No one complained about the design of cellphones in the '80s, either.
The only reason to stick with a DS fat at this point is budget or masochism.
