Sry about that, side tracking here.

on taobao the cheapest item is shown as the cheapest price, so that price you see is for the old small 3ds

Knew it.
Ah, no matter. I already have my N3DS. Regular.
So anyone know of a place to buy cheap QQ?

And apparently Eachmall is selling GW for USD53+. I have no idea how much of the entire cart is earned by the team now.

For what? Being able to play roms on the n3dsxl since release?

The QQ3DS seems to be the cheapest on Taobao, compared to other well known stores like Eachmall. But after you dig more there, you will find that the Sky3ds is even cheaper. The only inconvenience is you will need to get them to ship to a shipping company over in China, then from there ship it over to you. It might take longer, but the additional shipping fees is still cheaper than other shops.

Well that's a completely different story on your behalf.

Well I had the N3DS from launch day so no biggie. I also have an O3DS with all my saves and everything so there's that.

Ingenious!



The fact is that 90% of the people who sold their GW card to buy a Sky card will be back and loose money by doing so. And thats when its pointing finger time!

*lose
and why would that be funny?

Because spending more to get less only due to being impatient while there is still hope (Seeing the CNY thing) is a pretty silly thing to do, naturally.

Because for the money they spent on a product that has no future they could have bought up to 5 or more used 3DS games like Fantasy Life which would keep them occupied for a very long time without the risk of Nintendo banning you or whatnot.

... What are you on about? Why does this have to be so personal for you? You have a bloody original 3DS that YOU CAN USE YOUR GATEWAY CARD ON. WE DO NOT. WE ONLY HAVE THE N3DS.

When SKY stops working on 9.6, 9.7, 9.8 or 12.6 - whenever Nintendo decides to block it, it will still be a cart that allows you to pirate thousands of games. So what if it doesn't have the most features? So what if it doesn't have multi-rom, both cards have their pros and cons. It'll be the situation that 9.2 is maximum Gateway firmware and x.x is maximum SKY3DS firmware (or maybe SKY might be able to work around the ban, WHO KNOWS).

People are getting impatient and they also have a tonne of disposable income, so if they go buy a SKY3DS so they can play ROMs right now, GOOD FOR THEM. THEY WILL AND HAVE GOTTEN THEIR MONEY'S WORTH IF THEY ONLY HAVE A N3DS.

Stop belittling people because they don't choose the 'awesome super dooper better featured Gateway card'. The Nintendo bans, IF YOU HAD READ THE FRONT PAGE, seem to be disappearing and there were only a few that popped up (it's the same as the Gateway BRICK extravaganza, only a few people but blown out of proportion).

If you didn't have a 3DS to currently use with the product you're invested in, your attitude would be completely different.

Anyway going to bed now, why you guys have to make this such a personal issue?

so the sky vs gateway war continues!

Ive honestly never seen any forum on here, be it the DS, Wii, PSP etc argue more over the best method to hack a system
This forum is by far the most toxic (not you guitarheroknight but most peeps here, sky and gateway fans) in the history of GBAtemp

Let's all give ourselves a round of applause!

 

[GorbseBaind]

Because it seems like a silly thing to do, again. The mentality of "Well, I don't care that it's a worse product, I just want it to work now." seems entitled and ultimately uninformed.

If you factor in that we've had 2 from Sony and Gary saying that CNY is the big thing and even have retailers saying that they can only restock after CNY, why would you order a Sky3DS now, wait for it to be shipped (Which might as well only be after CNY, depending on your reseller) and by that time, perhaps already have the Gateway update out?

There's this one date we still have, which isn't "a month" in the future but actually this week, only a few days away. If nothing turns up this week, no update and/or news post, sure. That'd be a time to get a sky3ds. But now? Right before things might actually happen?
That just screams impatience and, to me, is borderline childlike behavior.

 

[BamItzMuffinz]

Wouldn't a sensible option be to just get an original 3DS for now ($70~), and use Gateway on that, rather than get a $90-120 Sky3DS card? It'd be easier to sell once the update comes out, and it means you're only having to use one card rather than have a Gateway lying around and a Sky as well.

Considering you could use that one for multiplayer, downgrading and generally messing around with, yes. That sounds like a smarter thing to do. Well, IF the console comes with a compatible firmware (Which all of them do so far? Don't quote me on that.)

Any below 9.2 can be downgraded I think. There's probably tons of original 3DS consoles under 9.2 for sale.

I just sent an email to the GW team about the N3DS support release date. We never know, with luck, we could have an accurate answer

Me ? A dreamer ?
