    basically yeah. but you have to install the firmware first.

    Click the link in my signature and go to "how to set up an R4" for a detailed description on how to do this

    From your first link click on customise it and you get a memory combo option:

    1GB MicroSD Card {+USD 19.00}
    Gross Weight: 0.05 kg
    Kingston/Toshiba 1GB MicroSD Card
    2GB MicroSD Card {+USD 38.00}
    Gross Weight: 0.05 kgKingston/Toshiba 2GB MicroSD Card

    Looks like the memory cards have gone up in price though. Ordered the R4 2GB combo for €65 2 weeks ago which worked out around €45.

    Has anyone ordered the R4 DS (with 2G card) from consoleup.com?
    I did on the 13th - they processed it - got an email that day saying I'd paid. Email on the 14th saying the current status of my order was 'processing' and that I'd get an email when it was being posted out. I've heard nothing since.

    I sent a 'ticket' as they call it - to the helpdesk on the 21st asking about the order & have had no reply.
    They have the money as it's been taken off my credit card.
    When I looked online at it - it says beside 'stock' - 'back order' --- so does that mean that they are waiting to get it in stock before they can send it to me?

    [qoute]Secondly, for memory purposes, and this is something I'm less sure about so all help appreciated, I'm getting this micro SD card:

    Just a word of advice I would look to buy at least 1 gig of memory with these cards, you can even pick up a two gig card for around 20 Euros at 512mb you'll only get about 10 games with the software to drive the R4.
    I bought off this guy on Ebay, he's based in Dublin and had the card within 2 working days, here's a 1gig offer

    Anyone here use the link from Dealextreme to Volumerate.com to place an
    order? Am having a spot of bother tracking via volumerate and am wondering
    what experiences others have had in dealing with them (tracking/delivery times).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 187 ✭✭gerrykiddy


    I ordered on 10th Nov and the money went out of my account on the 11th. My account still shows fulfilled(by registered mail) and said that a tracking number would be displayed when sent. So on the 22nd I emailed stating the above and this morning I received an email saying that the order had been sent on the 22nd and gave me a tracking number. I checked this number and my order had left HK on the 21st!!.
    Seems they are a little confused about things but have good intentions. Will post when received and I have navigated An Poste.
    Am sure you will be ok but why not drop them a similar email.
    Getting on the site is a little difficult the last few days.

    I have ordered some stuff from DealExteme on 10th of Nov by EMS Express. ems.com.cn website shows that it has left SHANGHAI on 13th but no more tracking details after that. I don't find any details on Anpost.ie website for my tracking number. It starts with EA and ends with CN.
    Does any have this kind of experience with EMS express?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 224 ✭✭leuler


    I ordered a couple of r4s from DealExtreme on the 8th and got the following mail over the weekend. Did something similar happen to anyone else dealing with them?
    I have a ticket with their 'customer love', but no reply yet.

    As I said in an earlier post they are just a little disorganised at the moment. Your aware that they cannot sell the R4 anymore and have "passed" the orders to Volumrate. Just go along with their request and maybe send them your confirmation of order. Really dont think there is anything to worry about other than the delivery time.

    If anyone is intrested. I ordered an R4 with a 1GB Micro SD from supercardnds.com. The item arrived today after 10 days with standard shipping. The micro sd card was toshiba, made in japan.

    Did a quick test and it seems to work ok with my ds lite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,233 ✭✭✭darkskol


    Received my second R4 card and 2GB memory card from DealXtreme today was a bit worried if the order would go through or not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    gonna post again cuz I'm starting to worry a little - anyone order from consoleup.com?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 224 ✭✭leuler


    Got an update from DealExtreme to say that they are fulfilling my order now.
    Fingers crossed for delivery before Christmas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,185 ✭✭✭Lord Spence


    ordered off volumerate a few weeks ago and still waiting for it ot be shipped, anyone have any joy with them yet? got an e-mail saying it will be shipped but doubt I will get it before christmas now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,329 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    I just mailed Volumerate asking for an update on the status of mine.
    I can't seem to get any joy with their online tracking via their website.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,486 ✭✭✭randombar


    Same as myself, ordered 12th of November, Just got the DS Lite yesterday off ebay. No games for it so far! Anyone know where I could get the R4 card here? Or a cheap good secondhand game I can mess around with while I wait?

    Yes, they are absolutely terrible... waited months... eventually hassled the owner of the company and he got the finger out. Contact details via email and phone for the owner can be found in this thread which I posted on:

    NEVER ORDER FROM CONSOLEUP.

    Hi,
    I've bought stuff from dealextreme and they're very decent to deal with.
    Their shipping costs change quite a bit though. The free shipping is by registered post and I've read on the boards here how it can take about a month for stuff to arrive that route so each time I've ordered from them I've used their express EMS option which you pay extra for. The first time they charged an extra $16 for this option, the next time only $6, The third time I ordered they were upgrading to EMS for free so it was....free and the last time (just a few days ago) it was $32. But the items arrive really quickly usually 5-10 working days max.
    Also they're quite upfront about their charges. They state quite clearly that their prices can fluctuate with demand and their prices do change quite a bit - really only up and down a few dollars and their R4 with micro SD still always seem to be the best price around.
    It's worth getting the 2GB micro SD card for a few dollars more.

    The R4 card is soooooooooo worth having. It's a must-have!

    yeah,Im glad I read the treads before I went ahead, or there would be tears xmas morning.Please look at the site above and tell me, is this what I need.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,411 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    mmm the are probably ordering them in bulk off dealextreme and getting them for €30-€35 delivered and there selling them for €65, thats business i guess.

    Its whatever you think yourself, they accept paypal apparently so your prob safe enough there. There website looks awful crap though, nevver a good sign. Personally i'd ring these and see whats the story with them, when you'll get if you place an order or if you can collect it yourself. you could always order from dealextreme and if it hasnt arrived with a week to go buy off these guys. You'll easliy sell these for the price you paid for it on adverts.ie, hope this helps


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 309 ✭✭wardie


    I would say to order off www.supercardnds.com

    I ordered 2 the friday before last and they came on the wednesday and 2 more ordered last Thursday arrived this morning.

    Choose the R4DS and then customize it and add the 2G memory card.

    Then choose EMS Shipping (What I used) and you should have them next week.

    Consoleup are grand when they are in stock but he will take orders even when they are not in stock and then just leave you hanging

    I received it today. Dealextreme customer service was good, they replied to my queries with in a day. It took over 2 weeks eventhough it's shipped through EMS Express. My order includes R4DS card and 2GB MicroSD.

    I ordered via slowpost (i.e. free) with volumerate on the 18th and got it today! I'm actually impressed. 10 days isn't bad.

    (They emailed me when I ordered to say that they'd email me when it dispatched, but they didn't. I'd forgotten to be on the lookout so it didn't bother me.)

    Overall good though. I'd order from them again.

    Thanks MisterAnarchy (Original Poster), by the way.
