Bought mine from buygateway3ds, would not recommend, they overcharged me a few quid, haven't recieved a refund yet but the card did arrive pretty quickly. Thought it stopped working after a few days and I've been trying for a few days now to get a replacement, if you're in the UK then they only reply to emails in the middle of the night meaning one email per day (including telling them I tried 3 different micro sd cards and they replied saying try a different micro sd card)

I ordered from them as well, I am still waiting for my card to turn up, I guess its only being a week though, so hopefully will come soon
How long did your card actually last for?
Did they send you a new card yet?
Oh well I heard things from other suppliers that they don't even ship the card they bought... So I guess its better then nothing?

Yeah did you get it from the UK?
My card stopped working after a few weeks, was playing new super mario bros 2 one day, shut the lid, came back and it had frozen. So I rebooted and everytime I hit select to load a game it said read error. I have recieved my new card today but it took about 2 weeks to send it back and get a replacement, they're pretty slow at replying to emails, but I guess I got a working one in the end, hope it stays working!

Oh at least they sent you one at the end....
Yep mine just came today as well... It looks genuine so I hope it all works out ok.

Yes I did, and I can confirm that it was shipped from the UK...
