Well, that's what it looks like, and that's what the product is being touted as by the very people who make it. Man, this thing looks AWESOME.

Simply by connecting the cartridge to a PC via the USB port, players will be able to drag and drop all of their homebrew games, applications, movies and audio files over to the Nintendo DS for instant use. The 2GB memory capacity has enough space to hold over 20 episodes of your favourite TV shows or up to 50 music albums. Helping the device to remain future proof is an upgradeable on-board operating system that can be added to periodically when needs be.



Is there anything the Nintendo DS can't do? This product certainly seems to render the recently released official MP3 player more than a little redundant. DS X-treme 2GB will retail at $129.95 USD in North America when it’s released later this year.
