Hey Destructoid! Where should I buy my R4DS from?
Ichigo Style | 8:12 PM on 12.05.2007 33 comments


It dawned on me today, between classes when I looked in my school bag that carrying around 5-6 DS games cases suck (I carry them in the cases because they're tiny). Fitting them on one nice little flash cart and strolling around with just me and my little DS Lite would be much easier than the extra bulk.
R4DS' site is no help whatsoever, and you guys are up in arms about this product. So who wants to recommend somewhere to buy this? :D Personal experience is a perk, I like to hear that you actually got your product from these places ;P

i did not recommend wal-mart to you. That was tehuberone's fault. he gave me a tinyurl and I clicked it. The blame goes to him.

as for where you should buy one:
http://www.r4ds.com/world-en.htm is a good place to start

If there were a walmart around here, I honestly would walk in and ask them if they sell an R4, then get angry and demand to talk to a manager. But seriously.

Namelessted: Nothing displays from there for me, hence why I asked here. I click on NA and it just kinda blinks at me for a few minutes and stops loading.

I ordered mine from gameyeeeah, but the shipping was slow as fuck (they first shipped from IL then from Hong Kong... WTF?!). It came about 2.5 weeks after I ordered it; I regret ordering it from them. I think you should order from divineo or another site other than gameyeeeah, in my opinion.
If saving the extra 5 bucks matter, then I guess you could go with Gameyeeeeah. (Damn, its annoying to type that many e's everytime...)

tehuberone - did you try going to walmart to get it back?

And a heads up before anyone else flames me because i don't know where to look for this stuff- I'm really not into piracy, and I try to keep things legitimate. Hence why I ask where I won't get burned for my purchase

Actually Realhotstuff is where ta go, screw piracy its all about homebrew.

echostore.com - It took about 3 days to ship though, but your experience may differ. The shipping rates are decent, and there's a bundle where you can get the R4 and a microSD.

Avoid gameyeeeah, they're shipping is awful for how much you have to pay. If you REALLY don't mind shipping get it from dealxtreme. If not, go with Amazon.

try the "M3 Simply card" its the same thing as the R4, just a different branding.

I ordered from Gameyeeeah. I payed for the $20 shipping because I'm really impatient. Ordered it on tuesday, got it that same week on friday. It was in perfect condition and I had no problems with the site. So take that as you will.

Now, it appears that the M3 and the R4 are the exact same cards (sans two solder points? good? Bad?), and use the exact themes?
Why.

They use different firmware I believe, but they're similar enough to where you can get either one and have the same things available to you.
