on a side note, the people who make these need to learn english.
"In brief, you buy a greatly USB Disk..."

Yes their english is often worse then mine.
Well the argument :"without any extra storage device like Micro SD card etc. to save your money at most" is quite4 stupid. A microsd version saves more money. You can have more sorage cards without buying the entiry device twice. And the second thing is that those storage carts are getting cheaper allmost every day. The prices are allmost falling. So you dont save money with that device. And next is, when your microsd cart is broken you can buy a new one, if the internal nand is broken the entiry device is broken. (i have 3 SD cards broken allready)

Not to mention that they've gone back to the days of GBA flash carts by advertising their storage capacity in "gigabits" instead of "gigabytes" which means that this device really only has 1 GB of storage space.
