I think it depends where it's at. If it's under a cushion or at the bottom and the mesh overlay is the one described by PP, it's really not a big deal and can be restapled and isn't visible with no effect to the integrity of the couch. Likewise, if the couch can be taken apart then that's another option. I would think her parents would be more open to very easy alternatives to retrieve it than buying her another game. However, OP hasn't really updated so who knows.
