Gateway 3DS, News and Information

[Rytoast]

The last information I got from Gateway 3DS over a E-Mail is, that they are "shipping in about 4 weeks".
Until then, keep calm and relax

When did you receive this email? Screencap? Two weeks ago, they said it would ship. Tomorrow is a "fortnight" from 11/07/13.

Na, my dad is in china and wanted to buy one from the market... (quite big markets lawl)
The seller said something like this:

There are different card types.
M, XL and XXL.
They are for different regions.

My dad told me, that M would be for EU... I told him he should buy one and they asked Gateway through E-Mail.

They answered something like

We'll ship the units in about 4 weeks

For anyone wondering,

Fortnight = 2 weeks = 14 days.

I'm confused. Did you email them or did "they"? And who is "they"?

Yeah, it's funny, if you run "fortnight" through an english to chinese translator, then back again, it comes back as "two weeks". Gateway seems to love fortnights, for some reason. They delay everything in fortnights. I guess it's just a fun word to say. "liǎnɡ xīnɡ qī"

They = his dad. I'm guessing from his country flag that he's not a native English speaker.

every week its the same thing
"we will ship them this week" and nothing happens

still waiting to see if this is actually real or not

Maybe they're just trying to solidify the perception that they came up with such an exploit, by using 'wise and outdated terms'. Haha!

Don't worry, It's a typo. They meant to say FAIL instead of SALE

I don't know why this is noteworthy. ~60-90 USD is the regular price. Naming higher prices and striking them through is a technique that makes gullible people believe they save money.

If you click buy they also say that it doesnt include shipping and handling...

Once again, Canada is trying to trick us into accepting their crap. First, Justin Bieber. Now this.

I think I'll at least wait a few more years for one of these for my 3DS.
I only bought a flashcard for my DS 3 years ago so it will still take some time to play all good DS games.
I guess 2 more years or so.

Let's hope we actually get advances by then, and this doesn't end up becoming a one-time thing.

Not native, ye.
I'm from Germany ;P

But as I said, they (seller and my dad) asked them (Gateway) through E-Mail, and the rest is all information I got..
