    Do you only want it in red? You'd stand a better chance of getting it cheaper if you're not so fussy.

    I noticed you bought it online .... Is there any chance you paid for it on a credit card ? If so , they will usually replace items lost/broken regardless of circumstances
    as long as it happened within 60 (i think) days of purchase.
    Hope this helps

    Not sure if you've seen this on Ebay (apologies if you have or don't want to buy from Ebay) but looks to be ~£79 delivered NEW.

    Does the game still work? if so couldn't you get the red console from simplygames (~£65 IIRC) - though it appears to be a different red console.
