With Nintendo DS you're already used to gaming on the go; now you can listen to music on your travels too, without the need to carry around extra equipment.

The Nintendo MP3 Player is not much bigger than a Game Boy Advance Game Pak but, when slotted into Nintendo DS's GBA cartridge port, turns your handheld into a full-featured music player. Simply select tracks and adjust playing options with the easy on-screen interface and play your tunes through the DS speakers or headphones.

The Nintendo MP3 Player uses common SD cards to store music; simply transfer songs to SD card via a PC and you're all set in seconds - no software, no converting, no fuss!

Buy Now over at Play Asia (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2pz-71-6a-49-en-84-j-70-1krl.html)

As far as I can see it, this is just a rebadged Play Yan. Does this only play mp3's? The Jap Play Yan had an update so it could play video's as well (mp4/asf).

Lame, a flashcart plus some homebrew would probably be cheaper and more flexible.
