Repair or Replace?

I am lucky enough to live near a cellphone repair place that also offers game system repair. My 1st gen PS3 (with backwards PS2 compatability) had the power source go out. It cost $60 to repair, but I have a large library of PS2 games that my son still plays, so I went ahead and had it fixed. The guy was also able to repair a Wii for $25 when one of my kids shoved a PSP game into the slot.

I have a 1st gen PSP that is falling apart and a DS that has problems with the bottom screen. What do you guys think the cutoff repair price is, where it just makes more sense to buy a new (updated) system?

id go and see if he could fix it and caculate a price

Easy verdict...FIX IT

See the BC compatible PS3 is a much sought after thing..fix it while you can...worth it IMO irrespective of the price.

No, they are not, unless they're brand spanking new. Otherwise, they're just ticking time bombs.

You could get a used one for hella cheap on ebay.
