Just my luck...

Well, today was turning out to be a rather good day. I ended up going to work, managed to get a bit done today and ended up getting off early. Shortly after I came home, the postman ended up showing up with a new EZ 3 in 1 I ordered from DealExtreme the previous Monday. I was surprised it came so fast, 5 business days instead of the average 7-14 days. Now this is when things sarted to go bad, eager to try out the new EZ 3 in 1 since the previous one battery died, my Micro SD card ended up failing.

Oh no, it didn't get corrupted, it simply died. The firmware ended up booting up, I ended up loading up GBA Exploader and the whole thing froze. I turned off and on my DS and I got the error "No SD card was found". Oh lucky me, I even tried it with several card readers on my PC and none of them recognized it. So now I'm stuck with a dead Micro SD card and a useless DS + Flashcard due to that being the only MicroSD card I owned.

I had a 2 Gigabyte Kingston Micro SD card from Japan. I ended up buying it from NewEgg a year ago for around 25$. The problem is, right now I don't have the spare cash to go out and buy one so I'm basically out of luck. I don't foresee getting the spare cash until either late December or early next year to buy a new one.

So yea, I just decided to share this with all you guys. So no WiFi games for me for a while. :cry:

Wow. I know exactly how you feel seeing as my 2gig kingston also died little less than 2 weeks ago.
I'm pretty sure that you can find a small 256 or 128mb micro somewhere. I found a 512mb one in an old phone no one was using.

Thats crazy....what causes that?

And also, if buy.com still offers their $10 off first purchase with google checkout, you can prob get one for free doing that (i did) =)

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
