Hacking Where to buy an R4 DS

[WarmWoollySheep]

I know there are other R4 lists, but they are out of date, and I am in the market to buy one, so I am making this list for myself anyway. In order to keep this list the best, please reply with your reseller experiences, price changes, or if you know of a reseller I don't have listed.

(This list is tailored for Americans, but if you include other currency prices or shipping I'll gladly add them in)

Does anyone know any other retailers? Especially for the chinese version.

Please reply if you've used any of these retailers and I'll check back every few days and update this list for everyone out there, myself included. Thanks for the info!

Realhotstuff.com sells the R4

 

[WarmWoollySheep]

Thanks, added to the list. If they are trustworthy please say so!

1 tick to bamboogaming.com for good service (3 if you count individual times something has been delivered

)

 

[Killermech]

I made one a while ago, didn't find it to be so 'outdated'. I found it funny that winsunx has increased the price by 2$ now though.

I've ordered 2 time at bamboogaming, the only problem is that they send you Chinese Acekards instead of English ones...

Of course not, feel free to get some of the links from mine if you want to.

I can recommend Real Hot Stuff. I've ordered from them a couple times (including the R4) and they have good service and fast shipping (in the US). They've dropped my orders in the mail the same day. Plus, they have a coupon code "RHS07" that gives you 5% off your order before shipping. That brings the R4 price down to $42.75 + $7.05 S&H = $49.80.

Nice list BTW, and kudos to Killermech for the original with R4 site links.

I got mine from bamboogaming, was very good price, english version, and white, not black. They don't send anything but the usb converter, card case, software mini-cd, and strap, so you don't get the box. . It took 10 days to new york. Works like a charm

 

[Flavor]

I can recommend http://www.getyourgameshere.com/

They have good prices and fast shipping, but most of all they seemed happy to answer my questions.

 

[MaxThrust]

Got mine from cheapmod.net ... no hassle.. good comms.. free postage

 

[backlash]

bamboogaming was great. the $12 shipping sucks however. only took a week to get to australia

 

[jandaman]

just got them as well, $44.95+$2.50 S&H = $47.45

 

[5uck3rpunch]

Realhotstuff.com is the shit! Don't buy from anyone else. I get ALL my stuff from them.

$35.25

I give another thumbs up for bamboogaming. I received my R4DS in 12 days from Shanghai, China which was about what they promised. I think the $12.00 shipping noted in another post is quoted in Australian Dollars. In US dollars it's 8 or 9 dollars which I didn't think was too bad and considering the price for the R4DS in US Dollars was less than $35.00 it wasn't a bad deal at all.

 

[hevyhomie]

you can buy from these awesome sites.
however i also recommend ebay.
sometimes ebay has way cheaper prices(of course it depends on the seller).
i got my r4 with a 1gb kingston for $50.00 (USD) with shipping.

+1 on Modchipstore- North America

Ordered on a Monday, arrived on Sat.

 

[GameGeezer]

That's a good price and you can get a good deal on Ebay but I find that a great number of them blow up the shipping prices so high that it makes it difficult to search for the best deal. I noticed they started putting the shipping amounts in the search but I wish you could sort items by product price + shipping price and even the table for everyone.
