guys, why all the bent pins always happen to SC CF instead of SC SD, where can i see the difference between both of them, can i assume that it is more safe using SC SD instead of SC CF? thanx

A few people have had problems with SC SD versions also, so it's probably not a big factor.  I have all three versions and I prefer the miniSD.  I'm also watching some other DS flash card solutions.

I love my SC CF. Think I'm gonna get that miniSD one next. A CF card requires more contact pins than a SD card. The SD doesn't really have pins, they're more like contact points. That's why you hear more about CF pins getting bent.

is there any particular (safety) reason why the two SC gurus prefer mini SD?

Not really.  The SC miniSD is the same size as a GBA game so is completely hidden inside the "phat" DS.  The miniSD is also accessible without removing the SC.

Yeah, what he said....nothing sticks out and not having to take out the SC everytime to add more games is a time saver  8)
