In a recent CNN Money interview with Iwata, the Nintendo president shared that the Revolution would come with an SD slot to complement its 512MB internal flash memory (for downloading classic Nintendo games) but that it’d also have USB ports for external storage solutions, like flash drives and hard drives. Looks like my external hard drive will now serve yet another purpose. Interesting strategy….
