Just that...

where is the best place in Seoul to buy R4 Chip For Nintendo?

I promised somebody a Nintendo for a birthday gift in 2 weeks time -

but the games are expensive - where is the best place (perhaps with directions) for me to pick up a R4 Chip For Nintendo?

R4 is hard to find and getting more and more expensive as a result. I bought a DSTT with a 4gig chip for 60'000원 off gmart. I've loaded about 60 games on the chip including one released less than a week ago and everything is working great. http://www.gmart.co.kr/

Thanks - I did already try Gmarket.co.kr

It was my first time to register with Gmarket - and I tried to purchase a R4 chip there - (they had many 50,000 ~ 70,000)

however Gmarket was too difficult for me to use - it made me download ActiveX so many times -

and I tried to pay using a "Samsung credit card" but I only got to halfway through step 2 of the processing thing...

It asks for so much information - card number, secret number of back of card, card pin number, address/phone, cellphone number etc etc

I got stuck when it was asking me for some "Cellphone message code"...

Who knows what a Cellphone message code" is?

so I went to Yongsan today - and picked one up for 80,000 (yes - I know a little expensive) - but they did throw in a nice nintendo case/cover for free...

Yeah, I have a Korean friend place the order for me using their Gmart account. Then I just transfer the money at an ATM.

Hey,

I'm thinking of trying to grab one of these things (along with a Nintendo DS) as a gift to the girlfriend...I could head to Yongsan next weekend to try and find one. I was just wondering where in Yongsan you found the R4, or where else I could find one?

I'm also wondering what sort of price I should be paying for a Nintendo DS these days?

Ta!

If you go to "video game alley" in Yongsan, almost every vendor has R4's for sale. I think they run about 60,000.

[Hootsmon]

Do those prices include the SD card that actually goes in the R4? The best deal I've found on GMarket so far is the R4 and 2 gig SD card, delivered to my door for about 70,000. Genuine R4 too I think, not one of the (it appears, many) rip offs.

Oh, and "video game alley"? Is that Najin arcade?

F the R4.

I was at Technomart and I got a DS TT card (same makers as R4) that uses the high capacity micro SD.

DSTT Card + 4GB card = 80,000w. Its in the Technomart around the 7th or 8th floors. The first guy I talked to quoted me 100,000w. I said no thanks and kept asking around.

Go around the booths that display consoles, games, etc... Ask for "DS Chip".

Sure it's in Korean and they load a crapton of Korean games on it. All I did was go to the DS TT website and downlaod the latest English software and copy it over.
