Are these knocking about on Ebay already?

I never bought GBA games on ebay because it was so hard not to gurantee HK fakes looks like its gonna be the same with the DS?

Yeah, I saw a lot of games being auctioned off from HK for cheap BIN's

Wondering this meself.

If fake DS carts are already being produced, I'm really surprised that there haven't been a ton of rom releases recently.

So those GBA games that are "new" that come with the flat display box, are fakes?

Personally, whenever someone displays a generic picture of an item, instead of the actual item, I won't bid. It's almost always questionable.

So what, in particular, makes you think the DS games are fake? Since I don't have a DS and have no desire to purchase one, I'm curious as to what tips you off (other than it not being an actual picture of the item).

Looking at all the stuff he's selling, I'm just guessing it's probably bootleg.

Heh... weird.

I've seen fake DS units before that just play GBC games, I thought this was what you guys were referring to.

I thought the format was proprietary...? How can they be doing knockoffs already?
