[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 8724398, member: 32303"] Is this topic not filled with people being quoted fixing prices* like they broke it, and Nintendo trying to downplay it? *they are trying to play it off as a shipping fee but that seems to be north of $40 at times which is a bit steep for a device that costs $70 new. If you are in Portugal as well then you might want to check your local laws -- most EU countries have consumer protection/sale of goods type laws that have phrases like "reasonable lifetime", as might your credit card if you bought it on one (and your credit card will probably step up if the manufacturer and/or vendor is out of business). The manufacturer warranty wherein they send out an engineer or send out a replacement no questions asked might expire in 1 or 2 years but country laws might say they still have to do something for said reasonable lifetime, or some of the newer ones that lose that phrase still have 5 or so years, which can also apply to the shop you bought it from. Most people don't know about such laws, and most sellers of things try everything they can to not take them under it (in the UK they used to hate it when I taught people about what was then called the sale of goods act) including telling you there is nothing they can do if you don't know the name of the relevant law. I believe I did have a look at Portuguese law once for a thread around here but was looking in English so if you speak the language you would get better results. The US however lacks such consumer protections/inherent warranties for many things, and even things like cars are still massively complex (the guy I linked a video of back there specialises in that area of law if you were curious about how that plays out). Some then wonder if that is why prices are so much cheaper (how many times have they swapped the dollar sign for a pound/euro when exchange rates reflect nothing like the difference?) if they don't have to dispose of old goods under environmental laws, don't have warranties worth the paper they are printed on, and don't have 20% sales tax but different topic there.

Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.
