The most remarkable thing about this service is that it uses a cartridge/microSD system that is very similar to the R4 and CycloDS adapter cartridges. The DSvision service and product is fully licensed by Nintendo.

The DSvision kit will include a microSD adapter cartridge, a 512 MB MicroSD flash card, and a USB reader. The set will cost about 3980 Yen, or about US$ 36. Currently aimed at Japan, the DSvision service may hopefully take off to other regions if it proves to be successful.

AM3 will test the service beginning on January next year.

I wonder how long it will take to hack this device. Not a bad deal for 36 bucks...
