Hello everyone, I'll finally be buying a Wiz (been wanting one of these things since the GP32 came out), but I have a couple of doubts about where to buy it.
My first choice was Play-Asia, since I already bought something from them, and they were quite reliable. Then, while browsing the forums, I heard that ThinkGeek's user support seems to be quite good.
Considering shipping prices, they're about the same since I'm in Central Europe (PA offers normal air mail for ~13$ less, but I'm not sure how do they treat it, the box I previously ordered came in pretty bad shape), but I found coupons for a 10$ discount on TG, while on PA they were only for 5$.
So, what I'm most interested in is to know if TG is really reliable on support, mainly replacing swiftly and without too much hassle defective units (I'm in a god-awful streak of bad luck, lately - I like to be prepared).
My other concern was about patching the firmware. It seems that there's a relatively high chance of breaking the Wiz while doing it, and that it isn't covered by warranty. Although, in a topic I read that TG ships model already upgraded to the latest FW: is this true?
Thank you in advance.
