R4 will most likely be out of stock because Nintendo is working with law enforcement in many countries to crack down the distributors... If you are in Japan, no one will dare to advertise "R4" because of the legal issues. People will just walk around telling other people R4 is in stock.

Other than R4, there are other compatibles products out there in my opinions are better than R4. The M3, G6, EZ-Flash are all great products.

The M3 Simply and R4 are from the same factory. R4 is spring loaded and M3 has a clamp-on system. Both interfaces are similar.

I never really used a slot-1 system because of its shortcomings, I still have a slot-2 M3.

R4 and M3 are all the same. R4 is spring loaded and M3 has a clip, and I don't like spring loaded design because the card can get lost if handled incorrectly.

It's a personal preference on these slot-1 stuff.
