so what do you feel is the better buy/better overall product? i am going to get one of the two pretty soon and am wondering which one to get, or is there another product that is soon to be released that is even better than the two?

*edit*
also leave advantages/disadvantages if possible, thanks.

WOoooOoo....m3 ds simply

ds extreme is nice if U dont wanna carry a lot of games with and it's not possible to add more memory while with the M3 you can.

Yeah really, DS-X doesn't have much of any advantage over the M3Simply or R4DS.

DS Lite ? R4 Revolution ? A-Data 1 GB microSD (FAT16)

2x1GB might be cheaper, but 1x2GB is easier =)
I know I don't like to cary round more memory sticks than I have too, just as I don't want to carry around more games than i have too, which is the second reason for me buying the M3 :-D (the first being Homebrew)

Also a thumbs up for the M3 here too. The DS-X is just too much money for what it is compared to the M3.

It's easier to carry less cards. If you buy it from newegg, you can get a 2gb sandisk for less than half the price you would pay for a 1gb at a store.

LoL. Thanks, XbusterZ.

There is another microSD compatibility list at the M3 Wiki, however most entries are just copies of the Scorpei ones. Compatibility issues are in no way directly related to the microSD card capacity.

I almost hate anything to do with the words "compatible" or "compatibility" now. D:


P.S. Nice features list for the DS-X. :)

DS Lite ? M3 DS Simply ? PQI 1 GB microSD (FAT16, 16K)

haha awesome, thanks to everyone who posted. i LOVE the dancing led's but M3 it is because its cheaper

*edit*
i have been looking at the compatibility list for mem sticks and i was wondering is castlevania PoR the only game that messes up with some mem sticks? or is there other games that freeze aswell?

WOoooOoo....m3 ds simply

- Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is THE problem game - success dependent on your brand and type of microSD card.
- Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (all releases) slows down in-game on all microSD cards (haven't heard otherwise)

All other errors, such a non-working Download Play, are not dependent on the microSD card used but rather the adapter (firmware, voodoo magic, et cetera).
