after seeing the pictures of the fakes and reading all the stuff posted on the dstt website i contacted dx to ask them what they were going to do about the fake cart they sent me, this is what they had to say:

Dear Raymond

The DSTT Company has separated into two parts.

One of them still keep on producing DSTT, they make DSTT cards themselves and to distinguish from the original one, they mark all of them with a gold dot.

Besides,we get the DSTT card directly from our manufacturer.It is genuine DSTT card.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
Rachel

If I were a disgruntled customer I'd be telling them that they're 'full of shit' and that 'I'd like a refund'.

But it's probably best to say that they've shown no proof that the cards are real (since there's no proof that DSTT has 'split' as they said), that DSTT has description of the fake which your card matches perfectly and that you'd like a refund... Unless they can supply you with a card which matches the 'true' version shown on the DSTT website, because you paid assuming you'd be receiving a genuine version of the product and if they don't supply you with that then that's basically false advertising.

Gah. 2 new posts. Well, if you're happy with it I guess that's alright. But the fact that you can't update it means there'll probably new ROMs you won't be able to play as they come out. So, I'd try to fix the problem sooner than later. Like Netter said, probably aim for a RMA.

Given that NDSTT has threatened on their website that a future version of the firmware will literally destroy fake flash carts and your microSD card, it would be wise to contact DX and exchange it for an official cart.

For more information and a video that NDSTT released showing their "fake-killer" firmware, see this thread: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=104425

Yeah. You can always use that against them too. Ask them if they're willing to compensate you if their DSTT destroys your MicroSD card, then see what they say. Because if DX is selling fake cards then they need to take responsibility, whether this is through refunds or whatever... They can't just keep claiming that these are legit.

Since the "new" ones on DX are almost certainly legitimate carts, DX will likely offer to exchange the fakes for real ones. DX has been pretty good about replacing faulty carts in the past, so there's no reason to think they won't do the same now.

I bet if you push a little harder and point them to the ndstt.com website where it shows what a fake DSTT looks like and how it will be destroyed by a future version of the firmware, and then send them a picture of yours showing that it matches the fake one, they'll exchange it for one of their new ones (which are apparently real).

I think DX was provided fake DSTTs by a supplier and now they're (understandably) trying to get to the bottom of it.

Dear XXXX

The Coke Company has separated into two parts.

One of them still keep on producing Coke, they make Coke themselves and to distinguish from the original one, they mark all of them with a blue color.

Besides,we get the Coke directly from our manufacturer.It is genuine Coke.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
XXXX

so, Pepxi is same as Cxca-Cxla, right?

No, my doctor highly recommend me not to drink them, it can kill people (who is too fat).

This happened to one of my friends too, who got a fake from DX. It looks almost exactly the same as my real one, except for the dot, and the fact that it never works right.

He emailed them, with pictures of his cart and links to the DSTT site. They wouldn't own up to the item being fake, they simply said they were sorry it was defective and offered a replacement. Heh.

    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 funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze

    it's dumb

    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
