This is an email they sent me. First off let me say buying these types of products are always risky. I know of many people who got the old bait and switch scam, Anyway

"Hi, Thank you for contacting us about your issue with the R4. We can replace the unit with either a Edge card or an AceKard 2 b/c we no longer carry the R4ds b/c there are too many clones on the market and we are afraid to purchase and resell a non supported product. Please let us know which card you would like to exchange your defective card for or we can always fully refund you for the purchase if you you return the defective product back to our company. If you are returning the item back to us please ship it addressed to: Blah Blah Address- Please include a note with your Name, Address, Amazon Order ID Number and brief description on how you would like your return to be handled.

Thank You & Best Wishes,

Digital Gaming USA Trading Inc."

What should I do? Are either of these good. Should I just stick with my R4DS V2 upgrade which I guess is a fake or clone or whatever you call it.?

I really appreciate all the info I am thinking though since the deal is done and its been a few months they may not even send me a new one if I send it back. I think Ill just get a backup from somewhere else. Ill use the fake R4 until Boom goes the Dynamite and SO the question is asked again. Which one I will order this coming wednesday when I get paid So Acekard 2 is in the lead its easy to use, good looking GUI, gives BJ's what else. Ah fuck it ill look at the other posts and reviews by this site. thanks again sweeties

There have been some hardware problems with some Acekard 2's lately. Acekard has been working to fix the problem, but it's unclear as to whether the latest batches have fewer bad ones. It's also unclear as to whether the store you ordered from will sell you one from one of the bad batches or not.

Mind you, the Acekard 2 is better than the Edge in my opinion, but keep in mind that if you run into a problem (it usually occurs during the first few weeks if it's going to occur) you'll need to return it for a new one. They should be aware of the problem, but you might want to confirm that they'll allow you to exchange it and that there won't be any extra shipping charges if you need to return it.

well after doing my research all frackin day (Sci-fi Nerd) I think the best bet is the CycloDS. Its expensive which of course means its the best right? Nah but seriously it seems like the best one if not that then maybe ill stick with the Acekard2 or Ill throw my DS away. Im fat and just online ordered a pizza from pizza hut i cant wait..

    @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

    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.

  • 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
