Nintendo to Counter PSP Media Features

Posted by Zonk on from the extending-your-gameboy-for-fun-and-profit dept.

docdude316 writes "Gamespot is reporting that Nintendo has just announced a new media player add-on which is compatible with the Game Boy Advance SP and the Nintendo DS. The media player will let both the GBA SP and the DS play MPEG-4 and MP3 files off of a SD card. It will retail for 5,000 yen ($48 US), and will only be available off of Nintendo's website. There are currently no plans for a North American or European release."

    Because we're all pirates over here (arrr). We're talking about mpeg files, not FairPlay or Windows Media, and we can't have a big-name electronics distributer selling products that don't respect DRM!
