Finally, Nintendo's widely-popular handheld gets some downloadable content love. AM3 has developed DSVision, a download service that aims to provide DS gamers with various media such as videos, comics, and music for use on the DS.

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...
