Ok, so Ive been lucky so far, but I got a feeling Im going to run out of luck with potentially weaker caps on my V600 v2 board, so Ive decided to get myself a USB Blaster.
(Im thinking about sending the board to Retroservice.no to do the fix there tho, for future Core upgrades).

I realise you can get them cheap from Ebay/China, but are there any shops that sell them in Europa?

And which brand?

Any direct links for purchase?

Thanks!

If ordering from China is a problem you could always check Amazon.co.uk
Plenty of sellers there too.. Not sure if you get better products or same but more expensive products, though..

Thanks for the replies :)

I avoid Amazon like the plauge tho, out of principle.

Amedia will get my money.

Ok you already found one, but in general, you realize that eBay is not a Chinese shop? Because if you search "usb blaster" in eBay, tick "Item Location -> European Union" and sort by price, you will get exactly what you are looking for?

That’s how I buy  on ebay, location only.
Not to say you can’t get burned but refunds are far easier.

I picked mine up from “Hobbie components”. £8 inc free shipping I think I paid... no problems so far...
