Heatman Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Personally, I believe that over repeatedly repairing of game tech hardware isn't wise. It's going to keep getting worse till it dies down completely. Fix it twice and sell it off works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell it off before it's useless and buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I've hardly had to repair anything and it was usually always the controllers with analog stick drifting or something to that effect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it keeps in a state of worry that it might damage anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chips and micro processor will keep getting damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The reason why I am off from buying fairly used video game console, it's the act of not wanting to repair it when it gets damaged. I went into often repairs of my PS2 console back then, to the extent I spent more than I bought it, bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why fairly used is a no no for me is that you don't really know how many people that have used it and repaired it before you are buying it.

That's just it dearie. One doesn't know many times it's been taking to a video game repair shop. That's why new versions are simply the best. Unless you're buying from a reliable source.

I'm not prepared to be laboring with my device when I should be gaming instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer saving though, to get the funds to buy brand new or simply slightly used just as you've said. Buying fairly used which I don't have warranty, it's a risky to my funds.

Justin11 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 My previous PS3 damaged, and couldn't be repaired anymore. That's why I decided to buy new one instead of going for fairly used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they may be costly but if you used them with care, they will definitely last longer than the fairly used ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you spend your time to save and eventually get a new console, you'll spend wonder time enjoying it for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just one repair and it gets damaged again is enough for me call it on the console and have it sold off. It's better to get a new one at that stage.

I really don't know what entered into me that I love the games back then on it, and it was trending during that era because PS3 was hyper expensive to get back then for me.
