DS TV Goes on Sale in Japan

Posted by Zonk on from the because-they-need-another-excuse-to-buy dept.

The little heard-of television adapter for the DS went on sale in Japan yesterday, retailing for ¥6,800 ($62.70). "The design is different from the prototype shown in 2004, as it features a simple aerial cartridge which plugs in the back of the handheld, and no base unit. The top screen is used for the TV picture, while the bottom screen can be used to do things such as change channels and take notes." The company has no current plans to bring the TV adapter to the US, or anywhere else.

    You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
