Title: I want a DS-Xtreme

Offiical site (http://www.ds-x.com/cgi-bin/dsx/engine.pl?page=home)
Review (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=38174)

Saw this on Kotaku and some other site, and they loved it as well.

DS homebrew and stuff is kind of a pain. Theres flashing, theres the "passme" thing that sticks out and looks ugly, etc. This is like...the real deal. 512MB of storage, built in mini USB plug. Plug it into your PC and it acts like a flash drive. Drag your files (MP3s/Oggs, homebrew, ROMS) over to it, then go plug it into your DS and play the stuff.

ScummVM works...so hello easy portable Monkey Island! Plus you can do the ROM thing if you want.

$150...I still want one.

That's pretty cool, if I had a DS I would consider getting one of those.

I'd be happy with just the DS :(

That's impressive, except for the price tag (way too high for me to bite).  It's a complete solution.  Well, maybe they could add a video player.  Heh.

That sounds awesome.  I remember I was going to buy one of those flash cards for my gba, but never got around to it.  The price was too high and the interface for transfering files just seemed like a pain.
