The Nintendo DS Tuner In Full Video Glory
Posted by Sean Fallon at 12:20 PM on November 9, 2007
Far be it from us to taunt you with a video highlighting a product most of you won't be able to get your hands on, but here you have it —a video of the DS Tuner in action. On the other hand, if you live in Japan it is a whole other story. The tuner is set for release there on November 23rd for around $60. [Gamebrink]

@Hiphopopotamus: I'm hoping that was sarcasm as most over-the-air broadcast channels don't go up in 1,2,3,4, etc. order. For instance, the analog broadcast where I used to live was channels 5, 8, 10, and 31.

Can make a cutting edge video game system, a TV tuner for it, but they can't count to 10... shocking.

Actually, it's $89.90 plus $4.00 shipping.

Oh, turns out this is a 1seg tuner, which the U.S. doesn't use (and isn't going to use?) anyway, so importing is out of the question. Sorry!

Because there's no market for it. But since both Japan and the U.S. use NTSC, I imagine you could import it and learn what the menus do (since they're all in Japanese) and you'd be all set... until 2009, when all the analogue broadcasts cease to be and you can't use the device anymore.

Wow that thing is compact. And why can't we get one in the states?
