My brother is in HK right now for a few days so I asked him to look out for a iQue and some place to update it + a Super A'Can
I'm not expecting that he will find any of it.. but just in case

I might be wrong on this but I think that iQue was released only on mainland china

I got mine today. I still have to check this, since when I've taken a quick look to it, I've thought maybe this wasn't brand new as I was told... Grrrrr OH: .

Check if you have online.
I tried to contact the guy on ebay selling iques but sadly no reply from him.
Best way to tell if brand new is if the sticker on the bottom is open. Other then that if you asked him to upgrade it then of course the box will be open (since he will need to get to your flash card).

Anyone ever got a brand new iQue that was actualy sealed???
Mine was new but the seal was broken too, I'm thinking that they need to init the cartridge before selling them. I might be wrong on this cause it's a bit weird the have to init a system before selling it but who know.

The theory I have as to why it's open is
...
Dr Mario.
The system alone is not supost to have any games included (just demos) but posibly at the last min they threw in Dr Mario. Every iQue unit seems to be loaded with the full version of Dr Mario as well include the game's manual.
If Dr Mario was an intenional bundle then
1. You would not have the outer box for the manual, you would just have a manual
2. The box would have been slapped with a sticker to promote that the system includes Dr Mario.
So as a whole I think Dr Mario might have been a last min desision or a desision by iQue stores to boost hw sales.
I'm gonna have to disagree. There should be no reason to open it to flash the initial profile (there is none, you set it yourself, every flash card has a unique ID, suposetly).

All this talk of iQues makes me want to actually pick one up. They're available at Carrefour here in Kunming for something like 399RMB - not sure about games though, guess I'll have to check it out first.
