Parcels are Go!!!

03062008874.jpg


I've made up 26 packages tonight, the remaining 24 will be packed tomorrow. Will head down the post office tomorrow and post these 26.

I concentrated in winners in the USA, Canada and Australia today, so they get a headstart on their round-the-world journey. :yayds:

Should cost about £44 to post this lot (~$90)

Enjoy guys.

You'd be sharing your address with those seedy interweb strangers that get so much bad rep! :teach:

Congrats again to the winners and kudos to shaun for doing all of this! :grog:

Ouch, so you're spending roughly $200 USD from your own pocket to mail all this. My hats off to you sir.

If I had that computer software that lets you increase quality of the picture as you zoom in, I'd have all the winners addresses!

So where do you get the money to do all this? Do you get revenue from the site or do you pay out of your own pocket?

Why ask me? lol. I copied and pasted exactly what everyone PM'd me (albeit minor corrections such as addition of country names - damn Yanks! :P )... If anyone's package gets misdelivered it's not my fault.. Sorry!

We have funds at GBAtemp we use to pay for shipping costs, import duties, competition prizes etc... But that doesn't mean we don't pay out of our pocket the majority of the time - we're a non-profit site.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
