Theres no way G6 will be able to price that high.  Its going to be the same thing as the DSlinker with a slot 1 usb instead of a slot 2.  That doesnt' warrant a huge price increase.  There is not much you can add to that slot 1 to make it so uber.  M3 is just coming out with the same slot 1 internal memory with new twist so people will buy theirs over others.

Why not?  Just because every other slot 1 cart have almost the same features?  Keyword ALMOST.  G6DS will be able to set a high price because it has a few extra features compared with the other slot 1 carts.  It has download play compatibility, faster writing speed, cheat functions, built-in memory, etc.  It has a slight advantage over the N-Card clones, and that is enough to say that it is the best cart on the market.  If some noobs come in and ask "what's the best card on the market?", then G6DS Real will be the answer, and they will buy it before even thinking about other cards.  Also, for some of my richer friends', they will probably pay extra just for a slightly better cart.  Even I would be highly tempted to buy it, even at a $150 price tag.

Also, as I stated before, the G6 carts have never been that cheap anyways, and yet they still sell extremely well.  They don't have that much extra features, just slightly better GBA compatibility compared with Supercards.  Yet for such a small advantage, they charge double the price.  Why can't the G6DS Real keep up with this pattern?

Honestly I've never recommended a G6 due to the internal flash and high price.  I always recommend Supercard or M3, though usually M3 if GBA compatibility is high on their priority list.  

It has a slight advantage over the N-Card clones, and that is enough to say that it is the best cart on the market.

Who says the N-card clones are the best on the market right now anyway?  Again, because of the limiting internal flash, I usually recommend slot-1 devices with removeable media, and the R4 and M3 Simply appear to be the best of those types due to popularity and compatibility with slower microSD cards.  It's really all a matter of personal opinion.  If you want absolute 100% game compatibility with pirated DS games, then yes, the N-card clones would be a good option.  If you're more interested in the homebrew side of things, like I am, you'll want ones where you can fill up as many cards as you want with music, movies, and such, plus a few DS games here and there.

I know that the N-Card isn't the best in the market, I was simply referring to the argument ahead of me.

About the argument of internal and external, I've always liked external memory as well, but I don't see internal memory as a problem, or a negative.  In fact it is sometimes a good thing.  I find that carts with internal memory (other than the N-Cards) to write faster than MicroSD cards.

Personally, I don't think a lot of people care about the price, sure it is quite hefty, but remember, they are saying hundreds, maybe thousands on real games...  Whats $150 to them?

Look you can make all the arguements for G6DS right now.  BUT ITS NOT OUT.  Its just like the ati cards for DX10 saying that they are better than nvidias right now even though their not out.  Just look at M3's recent activity.  All it did was take the rights for the R4 and make it into the M3 simply.  How do you know M3 is going to magically make download play all the better and add cheating functions etc.  You can't confirm it has a better writing speed, just a cooler connector.  If your going to say this does this warrant buying a DS-X now? its still 110$ for 512MB of space when all the other cards have caught up because of DLDI for a much lower price point and more space to fill.  I'm not saying the G6 won't be great I'm just saying, don't wait on it to be the "ultimate" Ub3r card that you have been waiting for and be totally dissapointed when its a N-card rip off with a cooler usb connector.

How do you know M3 is going to magically make download play all the better and add cheating functions etc.

Just for the record, M3 simply and R4 now have cheat functions that work fantastically! Trauma centre has never been so fun lol!

[sonicwind]

you should say R4 got the cheat functions so M3 just copied it .  I just don't cheat at all myself since it makes games boring.  And the point i was trying to make was that if other companies didn't have cheat function I don't think the G6ds would either since they wouldn't need to to sell it.

They don't have that much extra features, just slightly better GBA compatibility compared with Supercards.

... the Supercard's GBA features are really... really... low...  laggy and such...  haha... not slightly better... MUCH MUCH BETTER... but what can i say... i have a supercard lite..

[PharaohsVizier]

My experience with Supercard's GBA is alright, I mean it runs most of what I want....

theres a compatibility list it seems most stuff runs on it.

But saving is a pain in the butt.

[h8uthemost]

I don't really agree with your price range.  Personally, I think this will set you back $150.  But that's just my speculation.

Damn, that's quite a bit.

But, I paid over a hundred for my G6 Lite and Passcard. So, I'll pay a little over for a great(hopefully), slot 1 cart.

[sonicwind]

the question is why would you need it?  Its not going to add a slot 2 with ram for you.  You already have the DS-linker for games and R4 for homebrew so I don't see why you would shell the money for a G6.

[h8uthemost]

Because money isn't a matter for me. So why not buy it?

Like I said, the G6 is my favorite flash cart, of the slot 2's. And right now, the DS-Linker is my favorite cart for the slot 1's. But, it has a few set backs. And it looks like the G6 is going to have that same, great, high speed internal memory, that just runs everything at full speed, plus, it will have those few features that the DS-Linker is missing.

So again, I don't see why I shouldn't buy it. I'm constantly going back from R4, to my DS-Linker. Because both carts have something that I like about them. And this new G6, is looking like it's going to have all the features, that I like, from both those carts. So if it does, than it's probably going to be the last slot 1 that I buy. Maybe. I kind of want them all, just to have. But it looks like this G6 will be the one I'll use as my default cart.

if money is no matter for you mind buying me some stuff? lol

this sounds like a good slot 1 card but i dont think i will spend my money on it
