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.

Yes it requires 9.4 J. Just tried it on my Sky3DS. Mine is on 8.1, I was asked to update system.

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

How do you know gateway will support all those features on n3ds? Gateway warns us not to believe anything other than those on the official website.

Because of this.
Also, if what you say is true, I'd like to remind you that Gateway never said we would miss out on features, neither did they say what features we would get. But we can assume that we will have emuNAND since for them to realize 9.5 emuNAND on N3DS does not work, they must have at least sucesfully booted into 9.3 emuNAND.

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

I bought a N3DSXL AU from Play-Asia. Price was about the same and FW was 9.0

Thanx. I hope so

By the way, are you sure about the price? Coz originally it was 259.99, then they made it 239.99 and it's still showing 239.99. I still can't believe it got it for 203.99

 

[AnkitC]

I hope you're prepared for the custom duties. 29% it'll be.

Yeah, I am. Can't do shit about it But still, the major price reduction I got from PA saved me a lot of money including customs

My previous estimate for customs was around 6k and now it's down to 4.5k On top of that, PA just saved me $36 US

You're a lucky man then.

239.99 is the normal price here in Australia in Australian dollars. The conversion to USD is like 205, more or less. Could be that the reason of your magical discount?

 

[Nollog]

okay. I'll do it right now. I suck at uploading a video, but I'll try. My retarded mom can't focus and situate the camera correctly . So, I had to start over again.

That is a shame, I hope her condition becomes more manageable for you and your family.

Can't complain man. The only option left for me was PA, and they were charging $239.99 US. Am just so glad I got the offer

Although I really don't know why the offer isn't available anymore. It was something like PayPal Offer and the only condition was to pay it via PayPal.

 

[PerroDS]

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

Fedex charged me shipping door to door and also " other customs services " at a cost of 47 dollars. I feel cheated with these alleged extra expenses after paying $ 38 Shipping "door to door " .

I don't think that's how it works. Am sure "other customs services" included the customs charges charged by his country.

Everyone has to pay custom duties right? My Fedex shipping charges obviously don't include the custom duties my countrymen are going to charge me.

Custom fees vary by country. It's only your fault if you do not know your own country's import rules.

Luckily in the US we don't get charged any custom fee for personal items.

At least in my country they retain the product and do not work with the local post office . So it is not a normal charge after all? I not read any clause that inform of these charges , perhaps it is bad practice they perform in smaller countries .

They do the same in my country, aka "retain" the product if we use local government mail service.

If it's a costly service like Fedex, DHL, UPS, then that courier company takes care of it, pays them on our behalf, and collects the custom duties from us while delivering the product

Which, to tell you the truth, is totally fine by us coz if you ever were to be "called" at the customs office (usually quite far from the city at some airport), the custom officers can be real douchebags and will charge WHATEVER the amount they "FEEL" is proper and you can't do shit about it.

I know quite a few people who paid double the amount of custom duties they were actually entitled to.

Which actually sucks big time.

 

[PerroDS]

Sorry, is 107 dolars for a 0.5 kg package (normal N3ds) from china to South america, sure fedex ais expensive as fuc..
