DSVision, the content download service using an official homebrew-like flash card, will (
probably!) begin operations in Japan on July 3rd, though the actual
hardware will be available June 26. Electronics stores throughout Japan will sell the card package for 3980 yen ($38), which will include the card, a 512mb microSD card, and a USB adapter.
The site will sell novels and comics for prices ranging from 100 to 600 yen, and movies from between 500 and 1000 yen. Users will also be able to put photos on the card and augment them with graffiti and music. That is, if it comes out this time.

Haha, Nintendo is following the HB wave, huh?
If it was just for demos, I would say wtf, but for novels and comics (and even simple games, maybe), It's a cool idea.
I'll need to get a Wii soon, since there's no Download Stations here.

cool, sounds like my Flash Cart, except never happening here, I pay for everything I put on there, and its limited to movies and books

I'm definitely going to try to import one of these bad boys.

If you can't beat'em, join'em, eh, Nintendo?

Nintendo's selling a flash card???
I guess Nintendo will start cracking down of flash card (flash carts?) to eliminate the competition.
Goodbye R4, hehe.
Peace.

If homebrew can be put on it, then I'm game.

Photo doodling, eh? I always enjoyed that part of the Game Boy Camera and Wii Photo Channel. Now I'm curious.
