With brand new DVD readers retailing over the internet for as little as under $30USD delivered, it could be pretty hard to justify not replacing.
That's right. Except, of course, if he lives in an impversihed country.
You do understand the meanings of "could be" and "hard to justify", do you not? One need not live in some impoverished country to be unable to afford to replace broken hardware. "[C]ould be ... hard to justify" assumes not everyone can afford replacement parts when hardware failure occurs. It also covers an inability to remove some covers and screws to avoid paying someone alottadough to perform a replacement. It might also be someone's using a laptop that requires a no longer available proprietary optical media reader. "[C]ould be ... hard to justify" covers that too. -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
