R4 original: My Experience/where to buy.

Hey people! I Just wanted to post about where I got a WORKING R4 original for My Brother and Me!Let me tell you about how I got it!A few months ago (maybe in June or something) my Brother bought "My Japanese Coach" for $20 at Gamestop but I having researched the R4 online for a while suggested to my Mom and Sister returning it and using the $20 for 2 R4s with 2gb Microsds at $10 for each set, which might sound impossible because a lot of websites sell sets for $20 EACH, But...they agreed.BUT I had to find them first. so my search began and I found TONS of websites selling them, but for $12 each set or $15 each set which was to much! Then I found PriceAngels! it was a GodSend! i was able to buy R4 cards without chips for only $3.88 each at the time! then I went to eBay and got 2, 2gb MicroSDs without a brand name for about $6 each! and I had finally gotten
Me and My Bro 2 R4s with 2gb chips for less than $20!!!But after a few months my Brothers Chip DIED and wasn't readable. so we went to priceangels and bought a Kingston 2gb (which we should have done in the first place), then 2 months later mine DIED too, then we Got me a replacement as well, and they have worked ever since.So without further ado the Link to buy a:R4 Original with Gel case and (a Terrible) MicroSD USB reader For only $3.78 is...http://priceangels.com/R4_NDS_MicroSD_Card_Adapter_English_Version_p1152.htmlR4 Original Without anything For only $3.19 is...http://priceangels.com/R4_Revolution_MicroSD_TF_Multimedia_Flash_Cart_for_NDS_and_DS_Lite__Compact_Pack__p2074.htmland my recommended 2gb MicroSD ChipsSandisk For only $5.70: http://priceangels.com/SanDisk_MicroSD_TransFlash_2GB_Memory_Card_p1548.html (Made in China)AndKingston For only $5.80: (Made in Taiwan) (I know it's says made in Japan but trust me I got one!)http://priceangels.com/Kingston_MicroSD_TransFlash_2GB_Memory_Card__JAPAN__p1540.htmlAND the link for a near PERFECT USB Reader is:http://priceangels.com/M2_TransFlash_MicroSD_USB_2.0_Card_Reader_p1690.html(I Recommend a TINY bit of glue where the plastic casing connects to hold it together when you pull it out of the USB port)And if for some reason the links are broken the home page isHttp://www.PriceAngels.com It also has a Sister site http://www.DealExtreme.com (they don't sell R4s)Well if you get one I suggest you use Wood R4 for the Firmware, as it has proven to be a near Perfect firmware for me! :)Here is the Link:

Cool! Looks Like Thats another great place to get them!However the Simple packaging one is the same price as one listed and the one thats $2.79 looks like it doesn't come with packaging at all! And because these companies from china can really ruin unpackaged stuff I would still get the $3.19 one from PriceAngels because that way your MicroSDs come at the same time! And you'll have Some packaging!And Believe me if you think you'll use the Gel Case that comes with the R4 thats $3.78 think again! I got it for that same reason I have never needed it, except on rare occasions, I just almost never take my R4 out! except when I add or backup games! ;)Thanks for your input! See ya ;)

please don't use link hiders.
