thinking of buying a 3DS with scratched screen

MarkY91 · 2014-02-18 16:09:30

thinking of buying one tonight. how hard is it to replace the screen and how much to do it myself? its costing 80 euro. is this still a bargain even with a scratched screen? could u get one for 80 elsewhere with no scratch?

It wouldn't be the actual screen that is scratched. On the top screen there is screen lens cover and the lcd screen is behind that. The bottom screen has a digitizer (Which a very cheap to replace) on top of the bottom lcd screen.

Nintendo games generally hold their value pretty well, so you'll have to do a bit of looking.

I think adverts is the best bet for games personally. You'd be looking at €20-€25 per game and then once you're finished you can just resell it for the same

Better then the €40 they want in gamestop for a used game
