December 1, 2006, Newsletter Issue #33: DS with Hard Drive Doubles as Media Center

Tip of the Week

The Sony PSP isn't the only gaming portable that can double as a music and movie player. There is a 4GB hard drive available for the Ninetendo DS as well. The hard drive plugs into the GBA slot and the Max Media software into the game slot. It includes a conversion application that converts movies to a format your Nintendo DS can understand. It also resizes your digital photos so they fit on the Nintendo DS screen. And it plays MP3s as well.

It's not exactly an iPod killer. You should be buying a Nintendo DS as a game player first and a portable media center second. But for anyone who's going to buy the Nintendo DS strictly for gaming, these are some nice added features.
