DS-Xtreme 2GB will “put nail in the coffin” of PSP

Revolutionary or X-tremely exaggerated PR?

A product set for release on the Nintendo DS later this year claims to put "the nail in the coffin for the PSP" and while arriving as a "revolution" for the little console. DS-Xtreme 2GB Media Enhancer supposedly delivers gamers comprehensive homebrew, audio and video functionality for their Nintendo DS handhelds.

"Gamers can launch free homebrew games written for the DS by some incredibly talented independent developers, listen to their favourite audio tracks, view pictures and even watch quality video files on the popular handheld. Moreover, the DS-Xtreme hands-down offers the best value for money ratio on the market, its massive 2GB of storage space is 18 TIMES larger than that offered by wishful competitors," reads the official press release, boasting the fact that the software pushes the Nintendo DS to its very limits.

Simply by connecting the cartridge to a PC via the USB port, players will be able to drag and drop all of their homebrew games, applications, movies and audio files over to the Nintendo DS for instant use. The 2GB memory capacity has enough space to hold over 20 episodes of your favourite TV shows or up to 50 music albums. Helping the device to remain future proof is an upgradeable on-board operating system that can be added to periodically when needs be.

Is there anything the Nintendo DS can't do? This product certainly seems to render the recently released official MP3 player more than a little redundant. DS X-treme 2GB will retail at $129.95 USD in North America when it’s released later this year.

Still needs to be bigger, storage wise. Bought a couple of these for friends last Christmas (The misleadingly named 4Gb model [=512MB]). 2GB is unimpressive. Give me 16-32GB, then you're talkin. Otherwise, these things work EXACTLY as described. Also plays backup romfiles pretty flawlessly, according to many reviews.
