i think as long as you show that you can speak english and are willing to upload saves, thats all they really need for you to be selected.
considering the terrible english on their website, the one selecting people probably doesnt have the highest standards either

Probably because they can tell when you guys will either write a horrid review, don't write for a site, or your review will be useless. You're just in it because it's free and you can say "yeah, I like it" and pass it as a review.
[sarcasm]Pfft, people aren't that immoral.[/sarcasm]
I am probably one of the few that are actually going to make one. I plan on going to every site that sells it, and not doing one here.
Can't wait for the flood of reviews.

News from the official website:

"Dear all, since R4i-SDHC team release of free 300 savedonge news last week, it cause quite big echo, we've received numerous emails concerning the application of this campaign so far, the number of applicants who was approved is far more than an expected 300 and the number of applicants is on the rise. So we decide to give out free 200 SaveDongle again. The competion will go ahead!"

It's like talking to Yoda.

Actually, the NDS Adaptor plus (hkems) can backup and restore (but not decrypt) 3DS saved games. The original one can't but the plus version (the one with pokemon heartgold/soulsilver support) can because it has upgradable firmware.
Are you sure? I haven't been to their website lately, but the product description on ConsoleSource.com (where I got mine) says it does not work with 3DS games.

Yes. I used it to back up an early (just started) Zelda OOT save and then flashed an empty (all 0xff) save file and it worked just fine. Note that only the PLUS version can handle 3DS games because it can handle firmware updates while the regular one (the one without heartgold/soulsilver support) does not.

I wonder, has anyone asked them when they plan to ship out the next batch of dongles? get the feeling they want to wait until like all of the first 300 winners send in their data and 2 people just lost the mail in spam or something

The list has just been updated, and it's gotten huge! I think they're gonna add in the tracking numbers next.

My name AND my mom's name are on that list :lol:
Niceeee...... Hm, I wonder if my sister should review it too ;) lol, does anyone want to play Mario Kart? A little off topic, but I'm at my grandpa's house and super bored... PM me to play.
