Cheapest place to get R4

[twinsforum]

i juss bought a r4 from the site in my sig for 31 USD, plus it's FREE SHIPPING
juss wondering if it's the cheapest place around,

[goombakid]

So far, yes.

Have you successfully received your R4 from them?

[twinsforum]

i recieved, and it worked fine :)

[frehdeee]

go with www.nxpgame.com 39.99 plus 4.05 for usps priority shipping. love this place

Hi guys, Just bought an R4(new) w/ card reader & adapter and a 1 GB Micro SD card. $75 shipped priority mail. I know its not the cheapest but it was the only one in stock (got it from ebay)

It will only play DS roms right? not GBA roms. I have DS-X for my first DSL but I wanted something else expandable memory for a 2nd DSL

Aww, man they gouged you on that 1GB Micro SD bro (the price doesn't add up). Those go for $10 now... :(

[WhiteZero]

That shipping time is crazy...
I'd rather pay the $50 (after shipping) from another modchip store to get it in 4 days.

[twinsforum]

u can custom a express shipping there for $13 the first item and $6 the second, after the shipping it's still cheaper than other site

[MasterJunior]

good, some1 whos ordered from there, I found that site also and plan to order the R4 with the 1GB Kingston MircoSD card for $43. I dont mind waiting 2 weeks or whatever. With the 25 or so saved bucks I could put toward a SuperCard DS ONE. Test both of these things out :D

[canfield727]

I paid 45.00+6.50 shipping for my R4 from realhotstuff.com, then I went to ebay and got a 2 gig sandisk microsd card from fastmemoryman for 23.00 (I don't remember what shipping was). I ordered both on a Saturday night and they both arrived that Wednesday. I'm happy.

You got a hell of a deal. Way to go.

[rwings01]

Hi, I bought from a member on these boards called kms. I paid $53 for an ORIGINAL R4 and a 1gb Japan version kingston micro sd card shipped. I got in 5 business days. If you don't need the micro sd card, the R4 is $40 shipped. Great service, HIGHLY recommended. Works flawlessly

[AeroScap]

ahh but they dont accept solo :( and its from america, wouldnt the shipping price add to around the same?

thanks

[comedown]

Just ordered mine from deal extreme. I wasn't charged extra shipping for the UK. I'm loving the US exchnage rate at the moment x-rate given by paypal was 1.91usb to 1gbp so it worked out at about 16gbp!!!

Not sure how long it will take tho, not really a problem as I'm yet to actually buy a DS!! heh. Still I like to be prepared.

I'll post further info when i receive an update.

Cheers and looking forward to using these forums.

could you let me know when you receive it? I also live in Europe (netherland) and I'd like to know if shipping to Europe is any faster / slower than the 14 days (or something) to the US.

Whatever the answer is, I'll still buy it :P just curious

[Boktaifrog]

I just got my R4DS and microSD card in the mail like 5 minutes ago. It is totally legit. I can take pictures later on today if people want me to.

Yeah, sure. I ordered it Thursday night (UK time) just checked now and its still "Waiting on supplier" delivery time for me wasn't an issue as I didn't have a DS. Now I do and the wait is killing me. Playing games on it is great but thats not the only reason I bought it!

I'll keep you posted.:)

[rycechrispy]

i ordered mine from dealextreme, and its shipping :)
bought a kingston off ebay and i already have it took only a day for them to bring it here... crazy shipping

[plmko]

I ordered R4s with the Kingston 1gb SD cards through EMS shipping it was really cheap cause I only had to pay an extra $10 USD.

However I ordered on the 21st of March and have yet to receive my package. EMS taking nearly two weeks, now thats strange.:confused:

[MasterJunior]

Ordered sometimes on the 23rd of March and got it today April 4th. If you count the 23rd thats 13 days. Got both R4s and the 1GB cards with them. Expected it in a box but it came inside 1 of those envelopes with the air bubbles inside which they all seem dead, lol. Few dents n stuff all over the boxes but the stuff inside is what matters I guess :P

Anyway, after that wait im trying to get this thing running, lol, not that easy!!! but not hard at all. Just gotta figure out if I copy the folders in, or what files, ill it running soon and then ill know how it goes :P

wicked mate! hope i get mine today aswell! cant wait!! ive jst got like 976 roms waiting for me to play on! :D

[comedown]

I ordered mine on the 22nd too, its only just left Hong Kong! i don't suppose Hong Kong celebrate easter, hopefully it might arrive in the next few days.

[ffisummoner]

ordered mine the 28th of march, and it shipped a week later (the third of april). the email said that it would take another 10-14 days to arrive. so that would be 3 weeks max.

however, when you track the order it says: 4 to 7 businessdays. that could never be 14 normal days! So I guess they don't include national post-service.

wel I don't really know when to expect it, but I don't care :P it was cheap anyway so it's worth the wait

[MasterJunior]

I dont think yull be waiting 2 weeks more, on the site it said

Order: placed on 3/23/2007 10:41:09 AM
Status: On 3/27/2007: Shipped - via Hong Kong Post (step 4/4).
Shipment: 4 to 7 business days by Tracked Air Mail

Then on the tracking page it said

Destination - United States of America
The item left Hong Kong for its destination on 31-Mar-2007

So I was thinking damn, 2 weeks from then n got it like 4 days later? :D

All n all to order 2 of those from another site with chips could have costed like $140 (assuming card is $40 n they try n sell you the 1GB card for $30!). Thats another card and a half, not even including shipping whatever that would be. Ill take the wait anyday! My order cost me 86 bucks.

[comedown]

Mine arrived today, ordered around the 22nd March delivered 10th April, bare in mind its been easter so no post on Good Friday or Easter Monday and I live out in the sticks in rural Northumberland so the postal service isn't what it is if you live in a city.

Decent enough service considering the price (£16). Based on my experince Deal Extreme are excellent company to deal with if you don't mind a slight wait.

[ffisummoner]

I think it's true that it's faster in the city, cause I got mine today (11th) en ordered on the 28th of march. But maybe it's based on other factors I don't know ;)

anyway I'm really happy with it, and gonna test it now :P cya

edit: I live in a city btw

[lalance]

mine arrived on the 10th April, (since the 9th was a holiday, post office was closed)

but yea, took around 2 weeks to arrive, but well worth the wait, considering its so cheap from deal extreme! ive been playing on my ds with about 15 games on it ever since!

[twinsforum]

now they have an option of using EMS shipping method, only takes a week to deliver to my house

[leahdizon]

wow thank you so much for the deal

dx is selling r4 + 2 gig for 44 euro = $59 usd, if ur tight on budget, dx would be the choice to go

[gillian_chan]

great site, thank u so much, they're finally back in stock with those r4

[FalkenZ75]

i tried to order from dealxtreme but they replied after a few days and said they were currently out of supplies, and gave me the choice for a refund. i said that id wait on it and then they gave me a refund anyway and said theyd rather not hold onto my money.

sooooo they didnt work for me.

[corky_aloof]

Dealextreme has become too popular. I ordered within an hour of them restocking and they had to refund me because of overbooked orders.

[sin88]

vulcanzone.com is probably the best place so far. The shipping is three days, and the price is reasonable.

[twinsforum]

Great r4 is back on stock again :)

[ashhong]

Great r4 is back on stock again :)

I dont know about you, but I am not getting those prices. The 2GB package is 74 dollars for me. Is there some kind of coupon?

[kms]

I dont know about you, but I am not getting those prices. The 2GB package is 74 dollars for me. Is there some kind of coupon?

some online stores still sell them over priced, you need to search around.

I sell the 2GB kingston (japan), Toshiba (japan) and sandisk (taiwan/China) all for USD 30 inclusive of shipping. And you can forget other brand, these three are the best on the market for flash carts.

you can also check my sig. for flash carts package.

bestgamingcards.com
is it trustworthy and i wanna get this bestgamingcards.com/product-p/r4ds-adapter--sandisk-2gb-micr.htm

but do i need a sd card with a r4 chip. and does this provide me with what i need?if i dont need ths package or you find something cheaper but just as good please tell me. this is going to be my system for a long time and i dont wanna mess up.

[mobyed2000]

Hi,

I came accross to nice site dsadapters.co.uk , have purchased and received it next day :eek: new R4i for my DSi and have also DS lite, working on both with no issues.

can recommend this site. :)

[GameWiz]

Can i use a r4i for my ds lite?

[GameWiz]

OMG you guys cant answer my question. only advertise dumb websites. gosh

[kms]

OMG you guys cant answer my question. only advertise dumb websites. gosh

all cards for NDSi is backwards compatible with nds lite.

[LucianJunkie]

Can i use a r4i for my ds lite?

Yes you can. However, ironically you can't use all R4i's for your DSi!

Some of the R4i's that were made before Nintendo released the 1.4 firmware now only work with DS, DS Lite's, and DSi's that are pre-1.4 firmware.

The best idea if you are thinking of upgrading to a DSi anytime soon is to get a different kind of card, wouldn't recommend the R4i if you want some sort of long-term sustainability.

[MasterJunior]

@ GameWiz

Do some reading in the product specs and stop acting so helpless, im pretty sure one of things listed is what systems it will work on... or make your own thread and ask the question, if you can read this thread is about finding the cheapest place to buy one, not answer the noobs questions about the R4i. ;)

[ansonr]

I got one from 4coolday.com for fairly cheap.

[cngamemart]

Can i use a r4i for my ds lite?
of course :cool:

[jonypep]

hi , its superb and its very interesting as soon as possibe i ll get it:)
