Just my luck...

Well, today was turning out to be a rather good day. I ended up going to work, managed to get a bit done today and ended up getting off early. Shortly after I came home, the postman ended up showing up with a new EZ 3 in 1 I ordered from DealExtreme the previous Monday. I was surprised it came so fast, 5 business days instead of the average 7-14 days. Now this is when things sarted to go bad, eager to try out the new EZ 3 in 1 since the previous one battery died, my Micro SD card ended up failing.

Oh no, it didn't get corrupted, it simply died. The firmware ended up booting up, I ended up loading up GBA Exploader and the whole thing froze. I turned off and on my DS and I got the error "No SD card was found". Oh lucky me, I even tried it with several card readers on my PC and none of them recognized it. So now I'm stuck with a dead Micro SD card and a useless DS + Flashcard due to that being the only MicroSD card I owned.

I had a 2 Gigabyte Kingston Micro SD card from Japan. I ended up buying it from NewEgg a year ago for around 25$. The problem is, right now I don't have the spare cash to go out and buy one so I'm basically out of luck. I don't foresee getting the spare cash until either late December or early next year to buy a new one.

So yea, I just decided to share this with all you guys. So no WiFi games for me for a while. :cry:

PM me your address and I'll send one to you next time I get a chance to go to the post office.
 
Wow. I know exactly how you feel seeing as my 2gig kingston also died little less than 2 weeks ago.
I'm pretty sure that you can find a small 256 or 128mb micro somewhere. I found a 512mb one in an old phone no one was using.
 
Thats crazy....what causes that?

And also, if buy.com still offers their $10 off first purchase with google checkout, you can prob get one for free doing that (i did) =)

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
