Buying a GBA expansion pack-UK

fexo · June 26, 2008, 06:17:57 AM

Does anyone know of a good place for getting a DBA expansion pack in the UK?

My son has lost/mislaid the GBA cover on his black DS Lite so I thought that this may be a good way of covering it up. He has also now decided that he wants to play some GBA games after we have got rid of the supercard!

Anyway, there's the eWin, EZ 3 in 1, DSTT pack that I am aware of (we are now on DSTT with 4Gb card). I have used Dealextreme before and they have the EZ (about £10 delivered). I have found a strange Chinese site with the white DSTT pack (£4 plus shipping).

Does anyone know of anything closer to home?

Thanks

dealextreme is pretty decent place to buy ds stuff from ...with good delivery times too 3 or 4 days sometimes

cheapest place to buy em too ..other places its anything upto £25 which is a rip off!!

other than that there are not many places that I can think of that sells them cheaply not sure if there are ANY uk retailers of nds flash card type stuff either all the old favorites have closed their doors or been told to stop selling them

Thanks for the comments- I've had good delivery from Dealextreme on "cheap" stuff but haven't tried them on cards.

I managed to find a few hours at work (!) to delve further and have found a place called addictsupplies who do the EZ and the price isn't too bad. I might go with them as I checked them out and others seem to have had good service from them.

I've ordered from addictsupplies (£13.99 + £2 shipping) and it's already dispatched!

Yup I've used dealxtreme to uk

It arrived in the post this morning- damn good service!

Now my daughter will start compaining, but I'm ready having found a pink eWin at PXboy for $12 plus $2 for cheap shipping- worth the risk at that price.

if i were u i would order the edwin expansion pack form www.psxboy.com, they delivery only takes like 7 days, ive order twice from them and both time realiable, the only thing that i hate is that they do the signature require delivery, god i hate that, why cant they just leave it at my front door. but anyways, the edwin in my opinion is alot better than the 3 in 1, faster loading and really good quality built and its only 12 dollars, comes out to a total 17 with shipping and some paypal fee from them.

unfortunately i just notice they are out of stock, u should contact them though.

Yes, the site said that they were in stock- I went to order and there were none available (of any colour).

Probably go for another 3-in-1 from Dealextreme (my wife seems to have taken control of my son's DS so that she can do Bookworm- the cartridge died when she was at 60 million!)

johnny9562001 · July 06, 2008, 11:49:58 AM

there in stock now

fexo · July 11, 2008, 03:30:53 PM

'fraid not- it's just as before- you go to the link and it says in stock. Click on any colour and it shows no product.

That's funny 'cos it's true!

fexo · July 12, 2008, 03:00:49 PM

Quite correct, and I will be buying another Ez3-in-1 from them (can't get pink though!).

I bought one from the UK as they were damn fast and wanted it for my wife to do Bookworm on holiday (she's now up to 5 million without a scramble-I was driving and the child without the DS was very unhappy- the problem with the old SC CF that I have is that saving is not possible in Bookworm due to the keys strokes that are required).

The only thing wrong with Dealextreme is that I have now started to get lots of "Dear Friend" e-mails from Chinese suppliers, which I don't like.
