Haha, complaining about the price?
I will buy 100+ units (all of them) and will sell them double the price, or, 200 $ hehehehheÂÂÂ
Smartass meÂ
What about the power port on the back of your DS? Maybe you shouldn't have bought a DS Lite because it's visible?So no news of a plastic thingy to cover up the usb-connection? Shallow as it may be, that is a deal-break for me. I don't want my DS lite exposing its innards like a cheap tart!
well since i live in europe my choice of shops are alittle more limited
i was checking shop.01media.com
m3 + passkey 2 bundle = 99€
then i would need a sd card and a reader/writer
reader/writer ive found the cheapst in shops = 27€
then the sd card a 512 mb one is 40€
in total thats 166€ (211$usd)
you really don't have to pay that much... a lot of online stores based in the US or Asia will sell the same stuff for a lot less, even with shipping to Europe included.
eg. from hopebuy.com:
M3 Perfect (mini-sd version): US$63.90
Super Pass: US$19
23 in 1 Card Reader: US$7
total = $89.90 = €70.64
from mymemory.co.uk (ships to most european countries):
512MB Kingston MiniSD: UK£10.99 = €16.37
In total, €87.01 - plus postage and everything, shouldn't come to more than €110. And you could knock about 10€ off that if you went for a Supercard instead of M3.
edit: i might also add that hopebuy have the best excuse for high shipping costs EVER. hopebuyMaybe you will complain our postage too expensive, but it is similar to the innate character of the game. You can share with your friends with this fun: to buy together and share the postage & money transfer cost .

I don't have a DS lite, and those are on the bottom. Water falls off the DS before it gets down there. In a wet pocket, the contacts are actually more inside of the DS (can you REALLY see the contacts for the headphones?) But the other connector next to the headphones are never going to be used by me, so a way to protect that (and differentiate my DS from other people's) i just put a little dab of glue and covered it up.
Cell phone charging contacts only recieve power, and i don't think people will charge a wet cell phone. And all the cell phones i've ever owned and seen have a covered headset jack (i have no clue about razrs tho)
My main question though is how will it deal with recieving power from the DS slot1 and the mini usb? For water bridging/shorting i could just stick a wedge of styrofoam in it. I just wanted to know what DS-Xtreme is going to do about it.
Well, i'm not 100% knowledgeable of mini usb-b, i do know for the most part about USB: There are pins for transmitting power (how else do you think you can plug a jumpdrive in where theres no battery), ground pin, and data transfer pins. I found this site in German which shows which pins are witch (i dont speak german so its confusing) http://www.hardware-bastelkiste.info/usb.html
I don't know about everyone else here, but i take my DS everywhere. I play in the light rain. My pants often get totally soaked when it rains because i don't believe in umbrellas. While jumpdrives have covers, this doesn't. And my DS is on 24/7. (Almost unbelieveable, huh?) But when it rains in south florida, it pours, and if water touches and bridges the pins in this card, i might have a fried DS card thing, or (a whole fried DS)!
So i'd really like to see them add a little rubber coverer over the USB because that can be a problem to some other people (besides me maybe)
Also since USB carries power, (5V i think) how would this card respond to taking power from the pins in the DS Slot-1 and the pins from the USB? This may be too much (i don't know all the electrical jargon, sorry) power and fry the chip!
So until DS-X Guru (or someone else) can tell me how they're gonna deal with these power surges (some onboard whatever and rubber cover) you have ONE really unsatisfied potential customer.
