Who's Ordered A Ds From Gbax?

[razzy]

Will ring again tomorrow to see if they have shipped via Fed Ex, if they have we should get them Friday I think/hope!

 

[razzy]

As we speak, it's sitting in London, marked down to a riduclous price by ImportMadness. Around 18 quid. Yet there's about 50 of them.

​

Explain in a bit more detail...

 

[yaustar]

Held by customs? That would REALLY be bad.....

When I get it I'll write my story up.

Basically, it should of come Monday. Then Tuesday. Then defintitly today.

It doesn't look like it is.

Use Gbax.com. At least you know where you are with them.

Update:

UPS strike in Canada is over so Gbax are expecting their DS shipment to arrive thursday, so fingers crossed for friday!

 

[yaustar]

Nice .. thanks for the info...

 

[sam fisher]

cool. I hope they get extra so i can get a DS! Other wise i am in the second batch. I hope they get it before christmas!

 

[Mark]

Mine not even come tommorow now. I'm getting very angry.

 

[razzy]

I must admit the anticipation is nearly killing me, what games has everyone ordered?

Ive got mario 64 & the metroid demo & thats it but hopefully it will last a while with all those minigames.

 

[sam fisher]

i only have the demo till christmas. Or until i convince my dad other wise

Got my off a guy from Canada of ebay for £99, arrives tomorrow.

 

[sam fisher]

[mattmagoo]

who? does he have any more?

 

[sam fisher]

no, but craig is packaging them with an SP charger afaik

​

but the batterys and chargers have slightly different voltages. How will i know when the Ds is done charging as i believe it auto shuts off with the DS charger. Won't the different chargers and batteries do damage to the batterie and how will i know when its done charging.

 

[Goity]

the chargers and batteries are just about exactly the same, no damage will be done at all. the batterys are even interchangeable if you cut a bit of plastic off the gba batteries

 

[sam fisher]

i know but HOW will the CHARGER know how to stop charging. Or charge it enough as the DS battery takes longer to charge. How long will a gbax charger take to charge it?

 

[Goity]

well it'll tell you in the ds guide because the chargers are the same repackaged

 

[yaustar]

The charger/adaptor/plug wont but the DS will know (or it should) and go to trickle charge (someone correct me if I am wrong) mode.

You've basically ordered from ImportMadness. I've had nothing but trouble with them. They use an ebay account to sell too.
I know people with DS's, and SP chargers work fine.
