Microcenter in Patterson NJ is passing off non OEM 3rd party equipment as part of their "factory refurbished DS" product. I purchased the Nintendo DS for $79.99 and it was supposed to come with a wall charger from Nintendo. When I got home and plugged it into the wall it fell apart because the screws holding the recharger together were missing (had been removed and were not in the packaging)- It was only held together by friction. Careful inspection of the charger revealed it was made by "Nintondo" not Nintendo. I returned to the store (waiting in lines for 1 hour) for an exchange. The replacement was also from "Nintondo" and at that point I figured, "fine" it is refurbished as long as it works maybe I will be ok with a knockoff charger... But when I finally returned home, the replacement does not recharge the DS at all. Benefit of the doubt has now expired - This is a scam by Microcenter or its refurbishing center. I loathe the idea of returning to the store for the 3rd time (they are far too busy - to be honest and find me a working product).
