Getting cheap DSTWO from AU?

Discussion in 'Flashcart Help' started by Paolo Michelli, May 17, 2011.

  1. Hi,all.
    Newbie here, and also newbie to nds flashcart,I was wondering where i can find a cheapest dstwo flashcard from au?Or should I get another flashcart such as Acekard or so.Can't made up my mind.Could you also tell me what micro sdhc should I use? I was thinking an 4GB, should it be enough to fit all in?BTW, have anyone of you tried http://www.oz3ds.com. it seems that is an Australian Supplier.
    Thanks in advance

    acekard 2i is a better choice if you just plan on using the flashcart for playing nds games since it is alot cheaper. if you plan on using the flashcart for emulation aswell, than get the dstwo. and i recommend trying www.shoptemp.net this site shows reliable sources for buying flashcarts, aswell as price comparison, sales and other things. so try looking there for a site that ships to AU and has good prices
     
  3. Thanks iluvfupaburgers
    I would like to know more websites to have more choices, I could compare the prices before coming to a decision.
    I googled and found a blog post http://3ds.ivoire-blog.com/archive/2011/05/05/supercard-dstwo-and-acekard2i-which-one-would-you-like.html
    DStwo will be my first choice I think after I read the post.

    well. not really good comparison. i for experience can tell you that acekard 2i has same compatibility as supercard. and acekard 2i can also play snes emulation. it pretty much depends if you care for buying those 30 extra dollars for gba emulation and real time cheating. and something that doesnt mention there is that supercard drains the ds battery faster

    one thing to be aware of about buying from australia, if you don't live there or in a close country (i.e new zealand or the phillipines) then the shipping can take a long time. (could be as long as 2-3 months)

    ??? What are you basing this on Loonylion. Many companies that sell flash carts are based in Asia and most things will arrive to Australia within 10-14 working days. From my experience even packages from UK & US will arrive within that 2-3 week time unless it is sent by ship.

    Paolo I personally wouldn't buy anything from an Australian company as they are normally very expensive. The 2 places I shop from are

    personal experience. I've had packages sent from australia take two months to arrive. sea is usually the cheaper shipping option.

    Small tip: don't go for the cheapest. How cheaper how bigger the chance you have a clone or a fake.

    That is quite interesting because of all the packages I have had delivered to Australia in recent years only 1 package took more than 2 weeks and that one was from Canada. I wonder where they have been held up at coming out of Australia.

    The only issue I had with Oz3ds.com was that my purchase invoice showed AUD$39, but when it was billed to my credit card for the DSTWO, it was billed at AUD$44.90.

    I chased this up with them a few times, but they still have not refunded the difference to me.

    Other than that, great service and quick delivery...

    Except if you put Wood on it, then they are okay... but indeed there are better options

    I met the same problem with you, two times, the first time they charged me 2.99$ AUD less, and the second time, 1.30$ AUD more than the invoice showed.But they refunded me immediately after i told them, they said it is the problem of the exchange rates.Why dont you just inform them...their customer service was pretty quick and good.
