    First off, here are the links. They are the right cards, right? I don't want any fakes or anything...

    Realhotstuff: http://realhotstuff.com/acekard-free-shipping-p-321.html

    Dealextreme: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18728

    Now I don't know where to buy it. I really like the pricing that Dealextreme has, but it takes forever to ship.

    But are these 2 cards the exact same card? If they are, why are they priced so differently?

    Both are the same-as indicated on listings.

    I hear deal extreme is ok-but you know what?


    EBAY-of you know where to look you find faster-if near by :)

    I'd much rather just buy from a site. I don't like using eBay for some reason lol.

    Well try deals extreme.

    I admit you have to know a little before trying-might find an un-expected scam.

    I gotten lucky so far-only dodgy thing I got was a 99cent watch...


    But postage was $20 -___-

    I've purchased from both Deal Extreme and Real Hot Stuff. Both are reputable sources. Dealextreme is cheaper, but realhotstuff is faster.

    If I remember, both offered free standard shipping. (To the US at least)

    Ebay can be a good source of goods,just follow a few simple processes like feedback scoring etc.But you have to be careful if you buy something through Paypal and it doesnt appear through your letterbox,you may have to wait 40 days to get satisfaction.

    My wife seen a 16gb Sony Pro Duo stick go for £2.70 free p+p last night,and she didnt bid for it.After that,I think I may stick her on Ebay....

    eBay isn't a good source for flashcarts. I don't think they're allowed to be sold, but the people who manage to avoid such restrictions charge exorbitant prices. I once saw a Firecard for $200.

    I got my flashcart at gamebygame not sure how realhotstuff works, but It's true dealsextream does have them cheaper but I heard they can take a long ass time if your unlucky and some might be fake.. so I have heard from people that owned flashcarts

    Thoe gamebygame hasnt failed me yet and they were pretty damn fast too

    i use dealextreme for parts. because they do carry copious amounts of knockoffs, normally listed as such. or at least in reviews. they can take forever to ship they use EMS and everything going to usa goes through customs. customs can sieze a package and doesn't have to give it back or a refund. know what is allowed to come into america, that's the solution.

    paypal is a trust based system. having spoken to them(paypal) before about purchasing of carparts through forum members. it came down to them(paypal) dumbing it down to yes, trust based. reciepts are always the cure.

    You may want to try out focalprice [dot] [com] as well. I purchased my DS gearz from both dealextreme and focalprice. They have worldwide free shipping. Both site takes over 2+ weeks for delivery but I find that focalprice is a bit faster.

    I got my AceKard from RealHotStuff.

    They're great..

    ..except my only complaint is that when I ordered a EZ Flash GBA 3 in 1 from them, I asked for GBA size, but they gave me Nintendo DS Lite size Black instead T_T So much for cheating on my Pokémon GBA games..

    I have ordered around five AK 2i (s) from DealExtreme, and they all arrived after 2 weeks from ordering in perfect condition. So if you have time to spare, then I would recommend ordering them from DX.
