Well shit, now I'm confused. Mine has the blue label, but it has the right pin sizes. What do?

What do you mean by blue label? there should be a red and blue card. On the red card the word gateway should be blue and vice-versa for the blue card.

tbh i only ever heard one story of a "fake" gateway card (i.e the shorter pin model) and tbh im somewhat skeptical that it even was a fake, it worked with the official gateway FW versions 1.0-2.0b2, but the user couldnt run the FPGA update on 2.1+.......if there was fakes branded as gateway card im sure we would of seen many more of them by now....one card really ........my "theory" is the card was genuine but there was a manufacturing error meaning one of the terminals was too short which meant the FPGA couldnt be updated......as i say just a theory, but i doubt if someone had made a clone that worked with the official gateway FW, they would of been churning them out like nobodies business,

but im pretty sure the black vs dark blue coloring varies between batches, especially considering they switch manufacturers a while back

Alright, glad to know the blue wording on the red card isn't bad anymore. (They should probably update their picture to fix that..)

+1 because price IS a factor. not everyone has the privilege of living in America and the privilege of easy money. I remember reading a few Indian temper's comments on literally selling their kidneys just to own a N3DS/Gateway/Sky3DS.

No racism intended but that's just because only those kinds of people were the ones I found.

1) I laughed at your suggestion that America = easy money. Every country has lower socioeconomic classes that cannot afford luxury goods.
2) I've yet to see evidence that official resellers are raising their prices.
3) If they do raise their prices, so what? Just don't buy it until it returns to a regular price, just like every other non-essential commodity on the planet.

Or people who bought Gateway hoping for 9.2 support before Christmas when they could have just purchased a Sky3ds.

Has Gateway ever lied to us bruh

I never said they had, and I don't doubt that they are a great company. I just wish I could be playing my 3ds backups now as I missed the chance to update to 9.2 I may have to wait up to months before lower firmware support is enabled, whereas Sky3ds can support all firmware versions right now.

What is with all the GW elitism lol. Sky makes sense for people who just want free games without work. All you can/have to do is drag/drop files. Also, it is available now, so no need to be left in the hands of GW's soon.

GW is for people that want Region free games, Unlimited games, Rom loader, homebrew, etc

Sure GW is better, but Sky is tolerable, especially if you don't care about free games.

The website I purchased from "Ozmodchips.com" were selling the sky3ds for only $10 more than the Gateway.

Yeah I find it quite funny that people are defending gateway to the end. Both devices have their pros and cons. Sure I prefer gateways features and such, but being able to play my backups right now is a huge plus for me.
