    All good points in the comments, but something I haven’t seen a anyone talk about yet:

    WHY is a DISK DRIVE $80??? All it does is read a disk. Any encryption on the disk would be decrypted on the console. External disk drives are like $20. If you specially brand them maybe you could go up to $40.

    But $80? That’s like a Gameboy Advance. That’s a miyoo mini plus. That’s an entire console in itself.

      Bruh, you can even get 2 or 3 DS lites for that price

        Ah, I should have been more specific. Back in the day I got my GBA new for $75 retail. (With inflation that’s probably a lot more now.)

        Used DS lites are great, especially if you can fix the broken hinges and screens.

          DS Lites imo have always been the best on the retro console value curve
