Well I just proudly ordered a SKY3DS from 3DS-Flashcard.com. I had a nice long and meaningful chat with their very helpful customer service person. I specifically requested the BLUE Button edition of the card.You know, the one with the "unlimited" capability. He informed me that they would be shipping Monday of next week and that I should hopefully have the card in hand by the end of next week.
When that happens, I will be updating my impressions and making a mini-synopsis of the card right here at good ole GBATEMP.
I have no qualms whatsoever about picking this over Gateway.
Why?
Because in truth, I hold no allegiance to either company. Neither do I own any stock investments with either company.
All of this fanboyism is both futile and infantile. Both cart companys are in business to make MONEY. Period.
And as much as I would like to think that they love me as a person, I know this not to be true. Profit is king.
Anyway, when the card arrives, I will answer any questions as time allows.
As for 'Nintendo being the enemy'. NO. just plain no on that.
Nintendo is our friend.
Because without them, there would be nothing to 'flash' to a card in the first place. Piracy cant be the first motive when making a purchase like this.
I personally feel no guilt, because I have purchased every single major and most minor titles on the entire e-shop. My Sky3DS is purely 'Try before BUY' only at this juncture.
I owe Nintendo and the hard-working game developers my honesty and my hard earned cash when it's a game that I know I will be playing consistently on my 3DS.
