    Okay..I'm thinking of buying a DSi tomorrow... but is it worth it? ???

    DSi cost 110$ i think when you turn in your DS.

    Are there any flash cartridges for DSi? Like R4,Cyclone,etc...?

    If so, what are they called?

    Thanks guys.

    There is a new R4i card out for the DSi. Found it today on-line.
    www.r4ds-ds.com
    Whether it runs the R4 micro SD is another thing!!!

    No. MicroSDs are not restrictive like that.

    I saw the R4i too...

    but you said Acekard 2i works the best?

    Yes. Currently it's the best, and has been well tested.

    Also has an active development team, which is one of the most important things when choosing cards.

    Is there also a recommended place to buy Acekard 2i for English?

    Or do I just get it at Acekard website? :p

    DealExtreme is brilliant for anyone, really... Worldwide free shipping and that particular card is stupidly cheap to boot. Perfect for anyone waiting for the CycloDSi (or whatever they'll call it).

    I was just looking at DealExtreme and it looked cheap :p

    Would that be a better place to buy it?

    Yes. Cheap prices in return for usual slow shipping :p

    They have slow shipping? I ordered my AceKard 2i on the 7th of May, I got the dispatched email on the 11th and the item arrived on the 15th... Not bad for shipping across the Atlantic.

    Sweet Jesus, how did you manage that? Turn around time for me is usually a month, and by then I forget I bought anything at all.

    I like the DSlite for the DSi mainly because the DSlite has a gba slot. On the other hand, the DSi has games made specifically for it.

    I can't suggest much of a card for the DSi, but Supercard released one awhile back, and Supercard is pretty damn awesome on the Slot 1 for Dslite.

    I'd rather wait 1 month while spending 10$, rather than waiting 1-5 days and paying 25$ on it.
    I know what you guys are thinking about me right now. BTW, I'm not poor. ^^

    I guessing that paying by money order won't cut it? It's the only method that I can pay by. Or are there other methods that don't require a credit card or a PayPal account?

    Their FAQ says: "To protect customers' privacy (see Why should I buy via Paypal, above), DX only accepts PayPal payment methods. With PayPal, you may pay via Credit Card, Debit Card, and Bank Accounts via EFT. These are all automatically performed by PayPal. You do not need to do any extra work. The checkout process is familiar and industrial standard."

    So it seems you're stuck without PayPal... :(
