Hi ll, i think ive decided on a cylcod card for my lite. Now i just need some advice on prices and where best to buy.
ozmods have a cyclo+4gb sd for 135 bucks, is this good? Also i found one other site which has r4 card with 2gb sd for 65 bucks. Damn this price is tempting.

Whats the best buy??

Cheers

Well I would go with the cyclo+4gb sd reason why is because its firmware is constantly getting updated and the forums are all ways alive. I have one and I love it and havent found any problems with it. The reason why the R4 card is so dam cheap because its not being made any more. The guys behind the R4 card are making a new one. But like I said I would go with the cyclo+4gb sd its well worth it.

Don't get a combo from ozmodchips.
Get the CycloDS from there but get the 4GB MicroSD elsewhere.
You will end up saving $20 or more.

I'm with the other 2. I just bought my CycloDS from OzModChips, not in the combo though. You can buy Micro SD cards for a fair bit less. If you don't have a good computer store nearby, can always go on eBay.

And yeah, no to the R4. Can get a 2GB Micro SD from eBay for under 10 bucks easy. So total price of that and the CycloDS would end up being just under $85. CycloDS is better, and for only 20 bucks more? Too easy.

Adding on to that, I just bought some 2GB micro sd cards for just under $5 each. If you don't want an SDHC card, that's the way to go.

Genuine SanDisk MicroSD/TransFlash SDHC TF Memory Card (8GB / Class 4) for only $40!! But if you want 4 GB then get the Kingston 4GB TF TransFlash MicroSD SDHC Memory Card (Class 4). Only $25 Best deals you can find. And the best thing about the site is that its FREE SHIPPING!!

Dont get it. Remember the saying you get what you paid for and the EZFlash V Plu are crap. Get the CycloDS and you will be happy for ever.

Hmm, I dunno. That site has the CycloDS for cheaper too, but OzModChips is a seller you can trust, and I haven't heard much about DealExtreme before.

Plus OzModChips have free shipping too...

EDIT: Now I've spent ages looking through that DX site. There's a massive forum about it here forums.whirlpool.net.au/ for anyone interested. I'm sold, will be getting some stuff from there soon. Still don't regret getting my CycloDS from OzModChips though. Local company with a great rep.

DealExtreme just got the Acekard RPG. Although it cost like $70, its worth getting. Check it out www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13829
