    Hi, i checked the divineo site and it seems to be sold out there. I found it on another site:

    http://www.consolesource.com/ecomm/customer/product.php?productid=2441

    I'm assuming that's basically the same thing as the one sold on divine to play roms, correct?

    However it seems that both of those retailers have scored pretty damn low on reseller ratings (4/10 for BOTH sites). Can anyone direct me to a decent site or will I be force to purchase it at console source?

    Thanks a lot.

    I havn't purcahsed form either of thse sites so I can't say much about them, however regarding your question about the SD and miniSD, the mini SD is smaller than the SD but it uses miniSD cards, which are usually more expensive.

    If you have a DS Lite, you should probably get the miniSD so it does not stick out much.

    Thanks a lot. I just checked modchipman on reseller ratings and it got an 8/10. I'm definitely purchasing it there over the other 2 sites which received 4's each, even though it's a lil more expensive. :)

    Hi,

    From what I have heard, modchipman usually states that he has the item, but when you order it takes a while because he has to order them. In short modchipman usually does not have the item until you purchase it.

    Divineo, and there is a bad bad bad place to deal with. Never has any item in stock and hard to communicate with.

    Consolesource is ok, I ordered from them a couple of times. Fast shipping but they charge a moderate rate for fedX. So, I would recommend do more research and maybe you can find a good place to order from.

    I would recommend use your paypal when ordering from these places if they acccept paypal. Why? cause, it's easier to get your money back if you use paypal!

    cheers,

    I have bought numerous items form divineo, with all arriving with 2-3 days, or 1-2 weeks if from china.

    Lets see, i got my M3 from them, my xbox chip, my ps2 chip, my swap magic disks just to name a few. Also got replacment parts from them.

    The do have wether the item is in stock, back order, or preorder on the page, you only have yourself to blame if you buy something on back order and have to wait.


    I have not once had a problem with divineo, and according to my account I have placed a total of 17 orders with them, so that means I have had 17/17 success rate with them.

    As for communication, I have only ever emailed them twice, and both times I was responded to within 24 hours with a helpful, personal message.

    Yes, but paypal has it's fair share of flaws, I am an ebay seller, and as such know very well how the paypal chargeback system works, and if you tell paypal the right things they will prevent the buyer from getting their money back until they can prove they should be refunded.

    using a credit card on websites is usually the safest option as most credit card companies will refund the buyer imediatly while whatever the problem might be is investigated fully.

    LOL, yeah.

    I ended up buying the m3 with passcard at realhotstuff. I ordered it at 3pm and it 'shipped' at 5pm meaning i got the tracking number. Looking great so far.
