Good choice
When you get the R4, you can trade in Zelda to recoup some of the cash you spent on the R4

Might be ordering the R4 sooner then expected i just found a 50 in my sock drawer

My friends uncle called me last night to talk to me about my R4. After a few minutes he said that he was going to get one. Guess I am helping to spread the word.

[Haldrie]

The makers of the R4 need to give us a cut of their profit for helping "spread the word" about this.

While I was searching for a site to order my cousin's R4 from, I stumbled across this awesome list of sites. Check it out...

Oh just in case some of you haven't checked R4's website lately (http://www.r4ds.com/index-en.htm) they have redesigned the cart! They have now removed the spring loader and moved the microSD slot to the side of the cart instead of the top (based on recent pics). For anyone purchasing one of these new models you will no longer have to worry about the microSD slot giving out which has always been the only big issue with the R4DS. Now the R4 is truely a must have. I'm already thinking about getting a new one just to have the new design so I don't have to play with the microSD slot in the one I already have.

If you're talking about the black one on the main page (with the dimples in the sides), that's the one I have and the microSD slot is still in the top.

Same here.

Hm...I guess I wasn't keeping up with it as much since my DS broke. Oh well...something to add onto from my review page since I said the microSD slot was having problems.

Oh yeah that's right you just got your's recently so that may be why.

ordered my r4 the other day even though i knew they were on backorder went to check on it and seen this

The Reason You Cannot Buy R4 Now and Solution

We are now decide to hold all R4 sales all together due to the all in a sudden supply shortage.

This shortage came quite suddenly because we receives 1 to 2 shipments from the R4 team each week and it was only after 2 missed shipments that we were officially told it's in shortage (after inquiries).

We have to hold from taking new orders so that existing orders can be fulfilled in the quickest manner. The R4 team is making steady supplies but the quantity still fluctuates, therefore we cannot give a definitive date as to shipment. If you need it by Christmas or not, if you may either choose to wait, or to request for a full refund by sending us an email at http://www.volumerate.com/accounts/cancelorder.vr . Please allow us 3 business days for the refund due to the large amount of requests for the cancellation.

To track your current order status for R4, please go to http://www.liveshipment.com/customers/ with your order number. (The order number which is started with letter "Q")

Welcome DealExtreme Customers: Did you clicked on a DealExtreme link and arrived at VolumeRate? It's because DX no longer sells R4 for legal compliance reasons. The good news is that DealExtreme has affiliated with VolumeRate for the R4 product and thus you can still get them at the best prices!
