[QUOTE="arsehat, post: 1080823, member: 83847"] Onesies, twosies or [i]really[/i] urgent? Local is probably the way to go. If a group of [i]n[/i] people want to get together and pool risks, then purchasing [i]n[/i]+1 or [i]n[/i]+2 of a quality product with a low failure rate and keeping the excess aside as spares for "warranty replacements" is probably a good way to go - no RMAs to deal with, no delays etc, and the price can still be significantly lower than sourcing them locally. If one fails after a month or three, write it off. Get a duff batch or product (like the killler n5 - but then, you'd have to be nuts to buy an unknown product for that kind of pooling anyway) and that theory goes right out the window, but my experiences with the R4 in this kind of situation have been [i]very[/i] good. They should be similar for any other good-quality card that's had its production processes go through the teething period. Of course, that all depends on whether or not you could be bothered going to all that trouble. Many can't, and I can't say I really blame them. My first DS cart was purchased from gamers wonder because they were reasonably local and had a good price at the time - and I had it a couple of days later. When friends started asking about carts, I looked to overseas suppliers except for a number of "want it RIGHT NOW" ones I had to get locally and ended up getting from ozmodchips a short while back (not AK2s - something else). Both ways of purchasing have their attractions and benefits, and neither is necessarily "right" for all purchasers or under all circumstances. If you want something in a day or three instead of next month, ozmodchips is [i]really[/i] great to deal with and I intend doing business there whenever I need to. If you and a bunch of mates can come to an agreement which saves you all a little money and means there's a spare just waiting should it be needed, then that can be a good way to go too. It all depends on where your priorities lie. [/QUOTE]
