| Wyrdness said: Part of the patent: [0028] The card slot 19 of the game apparatus 1 may receive or discharge the memory card 7 such as an SD memory card. The card slot 19 can read or write data from/to the attached memory card 7. In the present example embodiment, the game apparatus 1 is able to read out the first basic program 24 or the second basic program stored in the memory card 7 through the card slot 19, and to store the read-out program in the first memory 11 or the internal HDD 13. This can realize, for example, version upgrade of the first basic program 24 and the second basic program 25. It is to be noted that the version upgrade of a program may be realized by downloading a program from the server apparatus 9 through the communication unit 15. The example device that the patent is filed for seems to read games of an SD card like format, so it's not digital only. |
It's kind of ambigious, it sounds like it could just be a slot for SD Cards flat out. If it was for game cards specifically, I would think that would've been more clearly stated. That's the only thing that makes me go "hmmm".
