Are you sure? They have specified that the game cards have space on them for saves and patches


Checked: Shuhei Yoshida twittered it on the 16th, so yeah. 4GB version shouldn't be more than 20$ though. How awful that price is depends a little on what transfer rates the chips have.

20$ for 4GB is acceptably pricy. I would go for it.

@icyedge. That explains why the 3DS released with SD card compatibility. I understand what you mean, but defending the proprietary memory move is ridiculous. Of course it means more $$$ for Sony but it's dumb in all ways.

I dont really defend it. Its more a conclusion then anything else. The market proved that your better to price the device at an accessible entry price and sell "non mandatory" over price accessories. If they chose embedded memory, they would sell the device at a loss or at 300$+, and this would be a bad move commercially.

About 3DS, its great that Nintendo was able to price it at a reasonable entry price without having to use this strategy.
