I know some people still swear by their old iPods or film cameras. For me it's a 15 year old Western Digital external HDD. Do you have any older gadgets or tech that you refuse to let go of?

Specifically a 'new' 3ds xl, and I'm having trouble finding a replacement screen for less than $100 and at that price it hardly seems worth it. But these are the most desireable models so maybe it is

Mine is also a N3DSXL. SNES model, specifically, so I feel your pain there. That said, I just found a top screen on Amazon for $30. Are you in a location where things like this aren't easy to get?

Can you link that? I'm in Canada so likely can't order from there but I was checking aliexpress and ebay and 100 seems to be average

I don't think that's compatible with new 3ds xl? Maybe I'm wrong

Oh shit, you're right, my bad. I've been stuck in bed for two days with covid, not firing on all cylinders apparently haha

Yep, that looks more correct. If you're gonna replace it, might as well go for an IPS unit instead of the more common TN unit. Better viewing angle, better color, etc.
