It's still a good price if you ask me.

Damn! Can't buy it! Only Paypal and MoneyBookers options and can't use them.

(i know, I'm repeating myself, sorry about that.)
You realize that there's a difference between "can't" and "don't want to", right?! I just wanted to point that out--no harsh feelings intended.

Sure I realize. And I realize you're being technical about it, but let's see:

PayPal can't acept my credit card because my bank denies it.
MoneyBrookers ask me to make a X$ deposit, while I can only make deposits in €. Who guarantees that my $ to € convertion is exactly the same as MoneyBrookers when they receive de deposit? Plus, it charges commisions (1.01 to 2.99€ just for veryfying my account and each card, for example).

So, I really can't.
I'm sorry, that's a wholly different case then. I assumed you didn't want to use Paypal because of security reasons. I didn't read about your bank denying the usage of Paypal in your other posts (could be my fault for not looking hard enough).

Whoa whoa hold on, I SUBSCRIBED to the newsletter and got no message for the pre-orders opening up.

....SHIT, Gmail filtered it straight into spam! So much for a discount.
I'd rather wait for reviews anyway.

Edit: How long did the discount last? 12 hours? That's pretty bullshit all things considering.

I am also happy that I got my order in, the price without the discount is still good!
not very different at all

at DX the iplayer was $35USD so i'd assume that their price would pretty much just match the current shoptemp price if they were still stocking flashcarts...

also, expect shops like realhotstuff to charge $50

Would have been nice to get an email stating it had started. I got the email yesterday, but that said the price hadn't been determined yet. So in the course of 24 hours it went from that, to being on special discount, to not being on discount anymore? That's very disappointing that such a small window was given to the great users of the site. I feel especially bad for the users that weren't able to even check they email yesterday.

It was mostly a special for the Tempcast. Which means anyone outside of the Tempcast knowing was a bonus for them.

Thanks for the discount. I ordered 2 for myself. I got it because it does pretty much all I want - music, games/emulation, and videos. Can't ask for more.

By the way, when playing videos, does it behave exactly like the iPlayer? Such as, certain restrictions on the size of the video? I love the fact that I can just drag and drop avi videos and watch them on my DS. It'll be great when I go for road trips or commute.

I was lucky. I usually check the Temp every morning before school, I had just see the announcement when I was leaving. I was 10 minutes late for school pre-ordering it.

Same thing happened to me.
Never had it toss an email into spam if it didn't need it before.
Recoverd the emails, dont think I woulda noticed otherwise.

I think I'll wait for more info on it myself as well.
Though need to save up some cash anyways.

Ya, the 12 hour deal was kinda short.
Only seven or so bucks off though anyway and I'm sure they could only afford to have a short discount window anyway.

I hope the card gets an early review or something.

Except for they mentioned the discount in the email, but then failed to tell us to be on the look out for it not being announced via another email and in the Tempcast.

i don't think that you guys complaining about the small discount window realize that shoptemp lost out on over $1000 of profit on those supercards just to reward you for listening to the tempcast

instead of complaining you missed it, people who got it should be happy that costello and wang are so generous :3

edit: to reflect price change to $39.95

Not everyone who ordered listened to tempcast.
If you read the SC2 topic by lolzed PV tells you how to pre-order one. In that topic I wrote 2 times at least that there is a limit as well. Oh and the price increase to $37.50 USD isn't really that bad considering I estimated $50. Stop complaining about missing it. I miss you-know-who redemptions all the time since they happen when I sleep.

Wang = Supercard team product manager?
