In these days of economic doom and gloom we are looking for some good cheap stocking fillers and not just some bit of tat that will end up in the bin by boxing day! You want something that will last, be appreciated and keep the kids entertained for hours, an R4 card will certainly tick all of these boxes….. lets face it if the kids are entertained then you may even get a chance to put your feet up this Christmas and a have an uninterrupted half hour in front of the fire, sipping on a nice little glass of sweet sherry! Well you can only hope.

Seriously though the R4 card could be a life saver, reducing the whining when travelling this Christmas or when staying at home. The R4i or R4 3DS card will expand the capabilities of your DS console by allowing you to play music, videos, pictures, homebrew games and loads more. Depending on how big a micro sd card you purchase with your R4i you will be able to store loads of files and have instant access to them which will also reduce the amount of cartridges you have to cart around with you when travelling!

So there it is, the ultimate stocking filler, the R4 card! Maybe you will get that peaceful Christmas after all…..
