Fantastic refurb job. build quality and buttons are great and the screen is fantastic. thanks!
Securley packed, got the colour i requested and looks great.
The console arrived in perfect condition, with its box, bubble wrap, and overall, everything was well protected, and in my case, it came with a strap and a screen protector. It reads the games perfectly and the backlit screen works flawlessly with all its modes, keeping the select button active, options appearing, and pressing the RL buttons to switch between modes. The product arrived incredibly fast, and the communication with the store was a 10/10; they resolved all the questions I had about the console! I highly recommend buying here; the restoration they did on the console makes it look completely new and is totally worth the price.
The console arrived in perfect condition. screen protected with case included. which is a great detail. Everything comes in very good condition and works perfectly.
The screen has several brightness options, colors, and even a retro filter. I would buy from this store again. very reliable.
Many thanks to the seller.
