It's a freaking sticker, not exactly likely to provide any crucial protection. Think I'll remove the sticker on my red one actually.

In some cases, on some of my older flashcarts, the unit was a tight fit into the console. Removing the sticker actually alleviates that problem. With the Gateway, however, there is really no need to worry about that, as it fits almost exactly as how a retail unit ships.

What Ryukouki said. Something seems fishy. Don't do it man you never no what could go wrong. Stay on the safe side. It's always better to pay 80 and get your product rather than paying 57 and not getting it.
Also, didn't people on the forums report having issues ordering products from aliexpress/ and didn't members suggest not buying from them?

edit---
why do they have an additional gateway listed for 83.50 with free shipping:

THink of Aliexpress as a sketchier version of eBay. From what I'm observing, people are already balking at long time resellers, yet you guys lend your ear and wallets to the one that sells for cheapest without thinking about the reason why it's cheap.

And, ladies and gentlemen, this is why I COMPLETELY recommend not shopping on Aliexpress. Please do yourself a favor, spend thirty minutes researching a bit, find a good reseller that you like, and make a good purchase.

aliexpress is a great site, i always buy my stuff from there, also they have a buyer protection with full refund, look at this link: http://www.aliexpress.com/buyerprotection/index.html

the seller got 14 orders, ppl dont care because of the buyer protection. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/DHLD...kup-3DS-ROMS-with-GATEWAY-3DS/1288330390.html

Yeah but the buyer says Delivery: 3-7 days (ships out within 58 days)

So doesn't that mean you'll have to wait two months or something because he says he'll ship in 58 days?

Modchipsdirect has them in stock and I received mine within 5 days (I'm in the US). Didn't even preorder like many others did, so I'm assuming they have plenty available.

They sure have plenty(maybe too much) of them, they charge me twice and send me 1 and the other one the next day.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

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