Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
This is horrible news. Like mentioned in the article who wants or will pay so much money for such a subpar game. Slot1 and backup devices need to stay around as we have a right to use homebrew and choose to have an all in one solution for the games we own already. Just because you own one of these devices DOESN’T mean you are not buying games from retailers.
I am hoping nothing but success on keeping R4 and other similar devices on their lawsuit.

yes it is for sure they are making it popular in an indirect way R4DS cannot be stopped from sale and especially when the games are over priced people will definitely look forward for other options and thats where the advantages of using R$ card pops up. Well though it encourages piracy R4 cards are best for any Nintendo gamer to make his job easier for installing new softwares and games of course. bringing down the game price can help a little but my guess would be it will be difficult to stop its sale completely.
