Well, there is Amazon. But the price is....... how should I put it......... f***ing ridiculous (from a buyer's point of view at least). I would know. I tried looking for them as well a while back.

Thanks anyway guys, I have 14 days to return it if it does turn out to not work properly...
BTW, is there anywhere where I can buy the official copy of Emerald and Firered?
EDIT: In a cheap or reasonable price?

Pokemon emerald and firered for cheap? You are very funny.

I heard that the PAL versions of the games are genuine and US ones are the types that are generally counterfeited...
EDIT: Correction; all PAL versions are real.

What gave you that impression? O___o
Anyway, considering the fact that these games are no longer in production AND are regarded as collector's items, you probably wouldn't be able to get them for cheap even if hell freezes over. There MIGHT be a chance of some garage sale selling it cheap because the owner isn't aware but I wouldn't count on that.

Check walmart. Mine recently pulled out a stock of games from deep in the storage area. They had tons of copies of the g3 games. Sadly they still wanted 39.99 for each of them.

    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

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
