Zombie thread, RAAAGH

The last countdown was just a trick to hold people back from buying a Sky3DS directly after US launch.
It was exactly the same move like before ... fake ETA.

It always worked. Like the carrot in front of the donkey.
And they will do this again and again and again.
Until one day... no one gives a sh!t about their ETAs anymore.
Even the donkey will realize the trick one day!

That's actually a pretty good theory. If they don't release the N3DS update in the next day or two, I'd wager that you're correct.

More than likely. Although this time around, not everyone is an idiot anymore. I've had a fair few people sell their Gateway cards and buy Sky. I'm going to wait, but doesn't mean I'm happy about it. I just wish Gateway would fix their absolutely appalling customer service and release an update, or at least tell us why they aren't. If it's true that there won't be an update until August though, I'll just give up and sell this card. I've got plenty of other hacked consoles anyway, but I was hoping to get into the 3DS scene (with a new console). Probably should have done my research first, I had the choice to get an older XL.

Only thing is, GW already made the money before any of us bought it. The resellers lose money when we don't buy, not GW.

Less sales = less ordering of stock from Gateway.
Less ordering of stock = less money for Gateway.

Yea... Not my plan in any way but if you really wanted to make a move it should be to complain to the retailers (the only ppl who actually speak to or at least will be listened to by gw).
"I was gonna give you guys my money, but company x with the best card doesn't seem to update often enough and currently doesn't support n3ds. P.s. it's the only card I'm willing to buy."

It's not really ironic, because it is expected that Gateway will always be slow, late, delayed, and so on.
It'd be ironic if they actually released something when GaryOPA said they would and we all expected them not to.

Edit: Just noticed SonyUSAs post above. I have no idea if I'm critiquing someone that was using the word ironic in jest.

It was related to the post above but thanks i know the word jest now

Except GW would have made the same amount of money even without the timer fiasco. Units were already sold to retailers before the timer started. Doesn't matter anyways. I'm just surprised we don't actually have a member of the GW team on the forums.

wait a Second. does the sky3ds work with new 3DS AND new 3DS XL (both Firmware 9.0)?

 

[Azel]

why wouldn't it?

 

[MrJason005]

wait a Second. does the sky3ds work with new 3DS AND new 3DS XL (both Firmware 9.0)?

Sky3DS works on 3DS/3DS XL/2DS/New 3DS/New 3DS XL even on the 9.5 firmware

 

[Erol]

Sky3DS works on 3DS/3DS XL/2DS/New 3DS/New 3DS XL even on the 9.5 firmware

what the hell?! why wait for a Gateway release then? only because it's "more comfortable"? lol
I am not even sure, IF we will ever see a Gateway n3DS and n3DS XL Support.

Sky3DS can only play official games and nothing more.
Gateway supports Homebrew, CIA, Multi-ROM WITH NO LIMIT (Blue button version has 31 games limit) without needing to click that button for so many times to get to your game, emuNAND and much more.
Let's also not talk about how they tried to scam us with their red button version
And when Sky's blocked? You're shit outta luck

 

[Muskusrat]

Currently gateway supports NOTHING on N3DS

 

[guitarheroknight]

Currently gateway supports NOTHING on N3DS

Youre in very good luck, because Sky does Corrupted saves, 5 second wait when switching, short lifespan, 31 games per SD card. Oh and I almost forgot, it works on 9.5!!!

 

[Dragaan]

Currently gateway supports NOTHING on N3DS

Yep. Currently. What's your point? We all know that public support isn't available yet, but we all believe that it will be soon enough. Makes sense to go for the card that does everything Sky can do and more for less, if you're patient enough to play the waiting game.

 

[dustmite]

If GW needs US N3DS consoles - then first the consoles have to arrive at their office.
That can take a week. Depends on where they are in the world.

Maybe the delay has also something to do with Zelda MM JAP, and the firmware 9.x on cartridge.
If they are waiting for this for whatever reason, then also this cartridge first needs to arrive where they are.

So 1 week delay or a little more is no surprise.

Hey guys,

Finally ordered an AU N3DS XL off Play Asia and got a REALLY REALLY good price

Check this out...

There was some PayPal offer going on, so I placed the order. I don't know why it's not showing on PA anymore, and I was thinking it was a glitch or something, but they just shipped my order

Since it's AU, I hope it'll be on 9.0 or 9.2
