One week later, this has changed. The unit, which looks similar to the Japan-only Play-Yan, will be available for only EUR 29.99, the releasedate is not set in stones, but it looks to be October 6th, together with the Nintendo DS Browser.

Key features:
- For Nintendo DS (to be inserted into slot 2) and Game Boy Advance hardware
- To store music you need SD cards. Up to 2 GB cards are supported, this equals to 500 songs (best sound quality)
- Choose between different skins (including one with Mario)
- The interface shows all important information
- The unit itself features another headphone port

The Nintendo MP3 Player was originally planned to be released shortly after Game Boy micro, but as the sales weren't as high as Nintendo had hoped, they delayed the accessory. It is not known why the video play function is not included, as the Play-Yan features this function, it is also unknown whether there's a special mode for the Nintendo DS.

The same morons who bought the Max Media Dock thinking it had the same capability as REAL flashcarts, that's who. ;)

Wow, now there's a coincidence, my daughter and I were playing with the DS Lite today and saying - wish there was a way of playing music on it - thanks, duly noted!

BTW, the review Opera cart still hasn't turned up 8-(

There already IS a way to play music on it...via a real flashcart and Moonshell.

People will buy this because the only gaming they know is mainstream gaming. But us homebrewers are way ahead of them.

10 seconds after it's released in the U.S. there will be a flood of "help me" posts in a DS homebrew version of Ragnarok.

Old news now... it really did horrible, not that I'm sad at all. You know, since there are people who would buy this, like the people who bought Datel products (Datel owner BIOTCH)....
