Possibility I bought a fake Gateway 3DS?

[Tank Dempsey]

Why not buy from a trusted and legit website that is not based in some shady place in China?

http://bestr4i3ds.com/ are a legit site i got my card from them they just send it in the 6 holder so that the package is smaller and safer.
It even says on their order page if u want the retail box contact them otherwise will be shipped in plastic holder.

I'm pretty sure all the Gateways come from "some shady place in China".

Do you have a close up of the bottom of your gateway card? (the side with the visible pins). That's one thing that can be used to spot a fake.

I have a Gateway and know that it's real, so I can compare yours to mine. Also check the MicroSD slot on it. Is it spring loaded or friction pull? Mine is spring loaded and I'm sure all the current ones are. I think only really old ones that were produced early on still used non spring loaded slot.

I think it's fair that he bought the gateway before being able to use it. My 3DSXL is on 9.2 and I bought my GW 1-2 months before 9.2 support was released. Impatience really does its job hehe

That package can be legit. The strange thing is that it's the packaging used for the very first batch of Gateway cards released well over a year ago. Maybe their cards have been sitting on shelves for that long?

Check the pins and try the card yourself.

I myself bought my Gateway in September 2013, and it came in a package like that back then. Now it's running perfectly fine on the latest firmware with the latest emunand.

oh come on I would be happy if I cot one like this instead of this crappy R4 palstic and red GW there with a tape

 

[wbsddgg]

it depends on the appearance of ur GW card.

if the figure looks low quality even poor

then the card is TRUE and COMFIRMED.

Indeed. I bought mine about a week before the big 3.0 release. It arrived to me a mere 2 days before the release I think.

I would have had it sooner, but given my income, I had to save up for it. Started saving for it the moment they announced 9.x support.

I think you just got lucky, buying it from a user with good sales taste and impeccable timing. Gosh, that fellow who sold it to you is one nice fellow, taking a hit like that.

Not sure if that was sarcasm, but.....Definitely good sir! I was double lucky because the site I was going to buy it from in-case I had to save up more for another month appears to have closed up shop. They pulled their entire stock of flashcarts today.

EDIT: Checked my PM history. Making a correction and I got it 3 days before the big release. Not 2.

It was kind of a "I don't really need this thing, I dunno why I bought it in the first place" kind of thing, but the discount was also useful because, you know, sometimes things sell better like that.

Hey I definitely understand. Every now and then you see a cool gadget or toy and get buyer's remorse once you pay the money and see your account balance drop.

In any case I definitely appreciate the opportunity I had to get it at the time I did. I definitely won't take that for granted.

Hey you're the sameguy that posted the QR code for Pokemon exploit right? I was staring at your avatar for like 18 hours while I went nuts with Pokemon last night.
