Preloaded card and games was great and the price was right!!!
After about 5 years my old mini plus gained enough issues that I decided to replace it. I definitely feel like I got my money’s worth, to the extent that I bought exactly the same one to replace the old model!
Package arrived in perfect condition, and worked perfectly. 10/10, will buy from again!
