Living in Australia, and looking at picking up a DSi XL on the cheap. Can the acekard be used on the XL just like normally on the DSi or DS Lite?

And if so, what online store do you recommened I buy from (preferrably an Australian reseller so as not to have to wait 3-4 weeks. Cheers

THe only real options here would be places like EB Games, JB Hi-fi, Target, K-Mart etc. There might be the odd specialty store depending on your state, but all-in-all it won't be that different.

EB Games & JB Hi-Fi occasionally have some good deals on XLs at my local store. I ended up getting one off ebay for $90. The Acekard can be used but you need to make sure you have it updated to the correct firmware and make sure your XL is at a firmware that can be used for it also.

cheers mate, never thought of ebay, and just had a look online and saw one ending in 5 minutes for $105 with original packaging, extra accessories and 3 decent games! Won it for $110. Very good deal IMO.

Wow that is better than the one I got lol. I did manage to get a Mario Anniversary one for about $90-$100 but it didn't come with the original package or any extra games or accessories. Was a good upgrade from my lite though, so I was happy for it.

Glad to see you got a deal. Online usually beats brick and mortar around these parts, unless you are specifically wanting it brand new or if you want something like the Yellow DSiXL

Cheers man, yeah well happy with that deal. Games arent the best but not too bothered about that.

So since your from australia im guessing, can you recommend me a trustworthy, cheap enough Acekard for DSI XL reseller thats perhaps based in Australia, or thats based in asia but has quick postage, as im not sure if the USA reseller that leroy linked above will post to Oz.

Thanks in advance.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
