This was similar to my game plan with sony psp's (1000, and 2000's). buy one with broken umd drive pandora battery mod it, buy a big memory card. then you got a good deal.

with a broken screen it's going to get to expensive and time consuming to be a good deal.

the deal would be to find one with a broken cartridge slot.

Not sure where you're gonna find those cheap broken switch. Lowest I'm seeing on ebay is around $150 and then you still need to find the trouble, get the replacement parts, a compatible charger (around 20$ if you want to use a dock one day). Then the joycons are about $60.

All in all, you'll have paid around $250 depending on the broken part, with no guarantee of the Switch ever working, for a system worth $300.

if you have a friend with a switch i'd suggest just picking up the tablet using his joycons to test it and just purchase ur own at a later date if u buy a broken one theres now way to know if your gonna be able to fix it urself

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
