[BORTZ]

I think this is awesome!!! Im so pumped that we have our own shop now. Ill def. be purchasing some stuffs here especially if it goes toward the site.

 

[House Spider]

Love It! Great prices & apperantly free shipping & it's in the GBAtemp Network so it shouldn't spawn too much clones & the purchases help our site.

 

[Forstride]

I love it. The prices and product selection is great, and the site is very visually appealing as well (Unlike some online shops I've seen).

I second that, Shoptemp was a great idea! Ill be sure to get my supercard from there, and they'll have alot of people ordering from there now too becuase deal-extreme dont sell flashcarts anymore

Price wise it's a good DX alternative with much more information and better community integration with GBAtemp. Not to mention buying from here is supporting your site. Whether or not it'll be better than having sponsors is still a question (I mean, we do have ads anyway), but I think it's a great site regardless.

I'd like to see how good shipping is eventually. Need to buy something from them eventually.

 

[Berthenk]

Yay! Awesome idea! You guys should've done this earlier.

 

[jlsyber]

Looks pretty good! Looking forward to gettign my SC2 from there!

Oh, I'm just constantly logged in and never bothered to see if the ads are still there. That's interesting.

Ya sure TempShop can cover the cash that the affiliates and the ads did? I really didn't mind the ads or the affiliates thing. I'm no economics person though so I could just be babbling nonsense, as usual.

 

[Alerek]

Wooo awesome! A Long time coming too...I've been holding out on another flashcart for some reason, looks like I've aleady found a seller for my next purchase~

 

[pichon64]

Nice move, GBAtemp. I'll buy my first Supercard DSTwo from you.

 

[chartube12]

Trust a site full of hackers with my paypal info? Am I drugs!? No, I am not on anything. But something must be wrong me cuz I am gonna use the shop!

I don't mind either, I'd prefer ads to worrying about the temp having hosting issues.

I like the idea of a trusted shop for flash carts and other goods with good prices, and unite service and knowledge of the product and the user, but it could create a conflict of interests when it comes down to gbatemp reviews...

I, and the rest of the staff, guarantee that reviews will not be biased because of ShopTemp, or for any other reason. Nothing has changed on that front.

Absolutely. Here's an excerpt from the follow-up post to the announcement for anyone who's interested:
QUOTE

Will GBAtemp lose its objectivity and become biased?
Absolutely not. Everything will be the same as before. We will never influence a review for any kind of reason.
Actually, the opposite will happen. We first review the product on GBAtemp and if it's good, we'll tell the guys at ShopTemp to sell and promote said product.

We've asked that ShopTemp only carry the best and most popular carts and modchips that we have personally verified as being of quality. We will also be taking measures to make sure the customer makes informed decisions. Besides, no one could pull the wool over this community's eyes! You're a well-informed group that would be all to aware if someone tried to fudge the facts.

You can also check the review tab of any product to see customer reviews and even a score of professional reviews sampled from all over the web!

Basically, no one needs to skew the facts to sell products. Those products will prove themselves, and then ShopTemp will carry them if they have.

Completely Agree, although, as I'm me, I just HAD to go for the third option!
