Even GameYeeeah has recently increased the orice up from around $33 USD last month to $45 USD now for pre-orders.

why waste cash on a outdated inferior product when you could buy a cyclo ds or another cheap flash cart with the same/less value?

They've just raised the price because as the rumor goes, the factory that sold R4's has been shut down, so products will come on a slower rate.

At least I think so.

I can confirm everything OzMod says above, and I was actually talking to the R4 team this morning...

-my last shipment of R4 was early Jan... nothing since :-)
however I have had a shipment of M3 REALS which are a great substitute for R4's.

-the R4 wholesale price did rise a few $, but that was last year.
however, the TTDS price has risen twice since my last shipment.. and I STILL haven't got a confirmed date for my next delivery !

-R4 still blame delays on Chinese New Year shutdown, Chip shortages, and customs holding their chip shipment.

- I've also been told there should be stock for next week, but YES ... they are never fully reliable.

Just canceled my order with divineo.com

I paid the premium through Amazon.com. Because i'm made of money and i'd rather have my r4 this year than be out the $20 extra bucks.

Your kidding me, you spent probably $70 on an R4 off of amazon when you can get a CycloDS and a microSD for the much. People need to do research before buying stuff.

i simply think R4 didn't appreciate our money......

the stocks depends on their moods, they want to sell it or not....

hate this kind of attitude.... and pathetic things is no other good cards.

sigh.....

GBAtemp is a goldmine for hilarious posts.
Even if it's a little sad that the average quality of posts is terrible, gems like this make up for it.
..and the occasional good poster.

No, it's "The Land of the Weak (currency), Home of the Failed"

What's with the R4 obsession that some folx have?

I have one, and it's okay ... but I use my CycloDS more.

Plenty of other good cards ... easier to find ones, too.

You could easily say the same for people telling others to buy a Cyclo(or similar carts).....
