Hacking How much are you willing to pay for a flash cart?

[Fear Zoa]

Willing to pay $0 USD. I get the reviewer's privilege, and I'm already down for the first 3DS flashcarts from a few of the flashcart teams.

I really do hope your being sarcastic ......

Anyways assuming it doesn't get almost instantly blocked by Nintendo....Id pay about $100
Although I would much rather see it 3-4 years after release

 

[Midna]

I reckon $30-50, but over this would be too much...

You realize that's the price of a real game, right? You'll pay no more than the price of one game to get infinite games.

ITT: CHEAP ASSES

The price is usually 1.5 real games. Fiddy-dollah fits that pretty well.

I don't care what it usually is. Lets say you get 50 40 dollar games on your 3DS flashcart. When all is said and done, you've saved 2000 dollars. And your prices max out at $50. So, exchanging $60 dollars for $2000 worth of content is unreasonable.

Funnily enough, no I'm not being sarcastic. I've been involved with the review scene for quite a while now, and I was offered these carts a while back.

hopefully nothing, if the Supercard team comes out with a 3DS-compatible firmware update!

 

[leeday100196]

$2

Fixed.

That's piracy.
You don't charge yourself money for stealing game from gamestop so why would you do it for stealing from the internet?

...for the DSTWO.
But I doubt it.

 

[kenshin-dragon]

i would pay a max of $100
but it would have to able to use both ds mode and 3ds mode, i have an idea how they could do that but i'll post it later.

By another 3-4 years, the 3DS will be obsolete by something that surpasses its power even more, perhaps even a simulator of some kind... So maybe a year after release, but not after that.

There are very few (if any) good systems that become obsolete after just 3-4 years, especially from Nintendo.

Just to point out stealing a game at gamestop and coping(piracy) on the web isn't the same thing.

I don't. Some of my more experienced friends with hacking agree that the DSTWO has the capability to play 3DS, it just needs the right firmware, thus one update. Besides, if it doesn't play 3DS games, I'll just stick to playing my good old DS games. They never fail to please.

I got my words mixed up. I meant that it will be made inferior, yet still awesome, by it's surpasser. It will be played still, yes, but it won't be the FOCUS of the hacking community. Maybe some of the bored hackers will work on it in their spare time.

 

[floydo]

I would pay around $100 AUD, however if it was over this I would be very very tempted.

Uh... From the standpoint Midna was taking earlier, yes it is.
You download a game, you save 40 bucks.
You steal a game from gamestop, you save 40 bucks.
That's exactly what she was saying. So they are exactly the same in this case, my dear brother.

1. Where's the money in a free update?
2. When have they updated their firmware on the DSTwo to do anything better than it can?
3. If they can't even push an update for DSi mode, what possible basis do you have to assume they can possibly do it for 3DS?

I'd like it if they did, but it's retarded from a business standpoint, and retarded from a technical standpoint.

...Can't we just be optimistic? I mean I know it's unlikely, but it's a virtue (I guess).
I'll just wait until the time comes.

 

[Devin]

$100-$150.

I get what you're saying, but I don't fully agree with it.

In that case, stealing from your best friend is the same as stealing from Gamestop, right? No, it's not. Companies like that don't have much of connection to you as your best friend and they don't suffer much from the loss like your friend would.


Furthermore, Downloading a game is NOT the same as stealing a hard copy from retail. Not only do you NOT have a hard copy to do as you please with, once again, just because GameStop did not "get a sale" does not mean they have been robbed, you could have just as easily bought the game at a different store.

"saving money" does not equal pirating. If Walmart has the game cheaper, and I buy it there instead, is that stealing (anything besides business) from GameStop?

No.

"Pirating"does not = "Stealing", or "robbing".

Pirating is pirating.

Although, I agree about the DSTWO. It does not make sense that they would update the card when they could cash in on a new one.


Also, I would pay 50-100 for a fully functional 3DS flashcart. Provided Team Cyclops doesn't make it...

I did say I'd like it.
