when getting it repaired you might get the same issue back again as well shipping alone is like 20 euro already (both to the repairman and back so 10 bucks to ship it there and 10 to get it back)buying a new one is cheaper then egtting it repaired for the most partIf they break... why not get them fixed? There are quite a few options out there to fix various systems.
After about 10 years my Game Gear had no audio due to the cheap capacitors Sega used. I got a new motherboard and all capacitors replaced on the audio board as well as changed the backlighting from tube to LED. I've even replaced the d-pad rubber membrane between the button and motherboard.
Don't toss your old systems... fix them.
I have no idea how to fix them, and there's no shop or store anywhere near me that will fix them.
There wasn't one near me either. There are people on Etsy or eBay that will fix your systems. Then there are brick and motor locations and sites like www.estarland.com that will fix your systems. You ship it too them, they do the work, and you get it back. It takes a bit of trust on your part, but there are legitimate businesses.
um depends on where you get the thing repaired and the console in question, them retro consoles are getting pretty rare and expensive now a days in America at least, I vote for repair vs, getting a new one because I know a PC repair shop near me that charges about $60 USD plus cost of parts to get any console repaired, to me that is way worth it
when getting another console used, you may encounter the same exact problem or worse, people could sell you another lemon it may work then break soon after with little usage hence the reason why the last guy might have sold it in the first place, in rare cases you may get bugs from another used console, if you do get another console make sure it's sold as refurbished and clean,
sometimes all a console needs is a good cleaning to work again I'd say get it cleaned if you don't know how to my local repair shop also does that for $60 USD a console.
when I bought my OG Xbox used I took it in for an inspection shortly after I purchased it. And the tech found it had a leaky capacitor. It just started leaking recently after it was sold at the place I bought it from, but good thing was the tech caught it in time
I ask the people I bought it from about and they told me they never knew about the leaky capacitor. or the fact that it's common in OG Xbox consoles a this point in time, the clerk said no quickly and without a 2nd thought
if you buy an OG Xbox make sure you get it looked at by an expert like I did, AND? i've had it for 4 years now or 5 don't rememebr and IT STILL WORKS

huh weird maybe its my browser then because for me there is nothing asside from the artricles the only thing I can see is a search tool thats itgamrave isnt an option I feel you send me a link but his site has no contact options so I have no wya to reach out to him.
All of Game-Rave's contact information ranging from direct e-mail to social media channels is located at the top-right of his website.
Honestly, I don't think a personality like Metal Jesus would be that knowledgeable regarding an item like this. However, that did make me consider two others on our site for you to ask, although they aren't that active on the forums. VGC user psxlegacy has an impressive PlayStation collection and even made a thread before hoping to find other avid PlayStation collectors. At the same time, cirdan77 is a big PlayStation 3 collector, in particular. You may have luck with these two, but, from just looking at their collections and having responded to their edit submissions in the past, their focuses regard retail releases.what metal jesus is concerned he has verry little knowledge himself about almost everything he does have however a big network and that was what I was hoping for.
Also, as mentioned in the thread posted before, there is another resource I can suggest, that being Jason at Game-Rave. Although he seems more knowledgeable regarding the original PlayStation library, he may still have some information to give or, at the very least, be able to better point you to someone else for answers.
I don't have any additional concrete information, but it certainly looks to be a press kit for Europe's This Is Living campaign. This video seems to be a part of a 2008 press kit, so, if you've still yet to see what's on the disc, I imagine similar kind of content—promotional videos, game trailers, latest PlayStation 3 system highlights, PlayStation Network information—to be found on the disc you own.
