Im looking for a cheap console to get and collect for that dosent cost a arm/leg but also isint boring with the game section. I have a few consoles and handhelds from when i was a kid but i want something that i can stick with and not let collect dust?
What would you suggest or advise and why so?


Original Switches are getting more affordable now but the 3DS is a solid console that still holds up today.
Also, the PS3 is awesome, games are dirt cheap right now.
Where are original switches getting more affordable? Last I saw, Nintendo raised their prices.
Second hand market. I saw a bunch yesterday in Akihabara for the $120-150 USD range…but for the life of me couldn’t find a decent 3DS LL
Yea, I was looking at used 3DS since my hinge finally broke… sad times.
They’re holding value remarkably well, sadly lol. By all rights they should be $50 or $60…but I decent ones in the $100+ range…which is about where they start to cross over with Switch OG and Switch lites.
At least the DS lite and DS XL are still reasonably priced. DS lite is an excellent form factor, I think…if only the screen was larger.
On the used market. They’re commonly sub £200 now.
3ds is really easy to softmod too, the problem is seemingly most of them have a weird orange/red tint issue on the screen these days
