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.

    I'm still waiting for the GPS adapter. The DS could make a killer GPS system...

    (yes I'm aware of this hack but it's not exactly ready for prime time and doesn't seem to have come to much beyond the first announcement)
