Pre-owned Nintendo DS lite for $56 at EB games, or DSi for $98. Pretty good if you want to play some old DS games.

i think its only 3 months, but nintendo consoles rarely break down :)
I remember the days of the Nintendo 64, where if you blew on the game cartridge, it'd magically work again :D
That's the equivalent of not putting your discs back in their case apparently, though I did the same with my old Nintendo consoles
Are you kidding? The hinges on DSes are known to fail fairly frequently.
but even when the hinges break, they still work :)
The main thing you have to watch out for is the fuses blowing out, thus you can no longer charge your console. Somewhat simple fix (can by pass the fuse or solder a new fuse), another things is the trigger buttons breaking which is also somewhat simple to fix.
But with proper care of the console most of them will never have problems.
Can't play Mario or Pokemon on the go with one of those
probably safer to buy from EB Games than eBay
How is $141 cheaper than or $56 or $98?
Pretty sure Matt is referring to the 40Gb PS3 from the OP:

Has anyone bought anything preowned off the EB website before? Wouldn't it be risky being unable to examine the condition first? A friendbought some prowned games online during the game sale. I soon followed and I was lucky that time but I dont know about eB.
its probably better to go in store if you want to buy a pre-owned console, but i've been happy with the pre-owned items I've bought online
Ugh, preowned? Please put 'pre-owned' first in the title, please.
I thought they were new for a second.
Not that cheap for preowned.
Nice, where do you get the cheaper DS? Can you post it?
Pre owned? Last time I looked on ebay there were a bunch of DS's around the $75 mark.
Some are sold as "New, without box" which is obviously bullshit, but I would say they've been refurbished to look live new
as in http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BRAND-NEW-BLACK-NINTENDO-DS-LITE-…
Good Deal, but i'd rather shop for one on Gumtree. The preowned consoles ive checked out at EB Games in the past have been mostly trashes/ covered in Dora the Explorer stickers. :\
And if I'm not mistaken 1 Year warranty on them?
