i sounded like a total idiot n00b lazy *******.

went to shop for a Nintendo DSL yesterday. found a shop at LYP, 2nd floor beside the escalator, ask said 800 for sg set + dstt + 1 gig and 10 games free i know i can get a better deal elsewhere. most can save $50 or more but it was late, and too lazy to fight thru the jam, etc.. decided to take the plunge and bargain to 750. end up he say technician went home so no free game, fine he say come tomorrow. so today i go to the damn place told me technician MIA.. ask me to come back mon. i was LIKE WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf.......... fine i told him find other alt. and he told me his 'friend' can do it for $5 a game. i said wtf......... i can dl those shit. but its the weekend and the small kid is impatient to play the game, so bargain down to $3 per game and suppose to get 5 and end up i got 3 in the mem card and he told me because my mem card is new, they want $120 to 'open up' the card to play those game.

i was so maddddddddddddddd........... what do they think we are n00bs? they remove the cd-rom from the dstt so u need to go online to download the kernel, etc..etc. and to copy those files that took 5 sec they charge $120. and end up i pay $20 for the crystal case and $15 for 5 games and end up getting 3.

lesson learn. i should stay with my strong beliefs of buying only original games like wat i did for all the games, but this is for a 5yr old girl which i make an exemption. and stay away from any game console shop at low yatt. u can get rams, cpu, gpus, and decent stuff but never console.

hm, you could have gotten cheaper IMO. from bernard. excellent service there man! heck, it's cheaper and he offers 10 games. :/

if only you were patient, haih.

well, no use crying over spilt milk.

i did pm bernard, but the kid is whining to want it asap. hai... tuff luck

good opportunity to teach the kid one of life's important values: patience

i'm not a parent so maybe i don't understand how it's like to have a child keep asking for something

aw.

no need to pm him la man! just go to him, face 2 face!
he'll give you, on the spot, the best price.

Ouch. That hurts. A lot. Sorry...

Kernel?

"open up the card"?

I believe its just a SD-card, just format it wil run.

...rm800? u totally got owned

RM800? man..u could get a full psp lite set with that at SCE. Not to rub salt on your wound or anything but here at the forum we have many good seller around...why go to unfamiliar shop in the first place? You could just call any of these guys or even straight away go to their shop for the best price.

Well..lesson learnt I hope. Condolences on your getting conned.

p/s: List that shop at the CHEATER SHOP thread.
