It can’t play games from the SD card. Games must be copied to your system memory in order to play them. I find it interesting that Nintendo tried this already with a little known product called the Wii before being forced to update the firmware to allow play from your SD card. Why on God’s good earth did they think this would work now?
The only audio files you can play are AAC, more commonly known as iTunes tracks. Sorry mp3 or WMA, fans. While this isn’t as big a deal as the SD problem, it is somewhat inconvenient.
Hardly anyone has mentioned the second problem and I have yet to see any gaming sites mention the first one. You’ve been warned.
I’ve been thinking of going a picking up a copy of the system, but with all of the kinks yet to be recognized and possibly worked out…I think I’ll just wait a few months or years or whatever…plus I think I’ll wait until they release some other color choices…we’ll see…

Don’t misunderstand me. It’s a really nice upgrade if you’re crazy (like me) and the only way to go if you don’t have a DS just yet. It’s just annoying that Nintendo still hasn’t gotten it right straight out the gate like they used to. But hey, that’s what firmware updates are for, right?
Right?
