 Ultimate addition for any DS owner May 7, 2008

I've 4 children with DS consoles. I bought four and they arrived the next day. Incredibly easy to set up, I had all 4 using the EDGE card with microSD card within minutes. One issue I saw. The front of the cards has a card stick on front that covers the chip and shows the EDGE logo. On one card this wasn't on properly and stuck in the DS. I simply took it out and took of the card. So not a major problem. Considering the amount of fun my children are now having, its worth every penny. Cost can compare very well with other brands of R4 card. The site for support has very clear instructions and the OS is quite small compared to others so doesn't take up much space on the microSD card. Packaging is cheap but at least pleasing on the eye with instructions and web address on the back.
In all I'm very pleased with the product and would suggest it to anyone who has an NDS.
Lives up to all the hype August 9, 2008

Look, let's be blatantly candid about this; the vast majority of people will buy this card for the purpose of illegaly downloading roms for their DS. The websites are in force and the hardware to do so does it impeccably.
I don't condone piracy at all - but if I said I wasn't tempted to download an NDS file and try it out then I'd be lying. In short - this card will let you do this with shocking consistency. As Amazon, like me, won't condone the use of such a device for anti-copyright purposes, the remainder of this review concentrates firmly on the ability to use the EDGE card and peripherals to turn your DS into a mobile multimedia device (of sorts) and to try out some of the results of the DS homebrew scene (which are, I hasten to add, very impressive).
EDGE comes in probably the funkiest packaging I've experienced to date. How many triangular packages have you had, other than Dairylea or (if viewed from above) Toblerone? Slide back the pivoted front cover to reveal a branded SD card with a slot to recieve a Micro SD card.
This package comes complete with a Kingston MicroSD - and be careful about buying other, cheaper alternatives - the DS requires a fast read/write speed and, in my experience, the lower-GB Kingston devices are superior to others. Don't think that this will operate sweetly with a 32GB Korean import card because it will surely dampen your experience.
Initial setup needs a web connection, but couldn't be easier. You download the latest Edge.dat file from their website and (optionally) other content to enable cheats, play multimedia files or edit the UI skin.
After the above, which takes seconds, all you need to do is to transfer the content you want your DS to read (.nds - copyright-permitting or multimedia files) using the supplied USB device, into which the Micro card neatly slots, using a simple drag and drop via Windows. Then, you slot the card back into the Edge SD card, which slots back into the DS. You turn on the DS and the simple but completely adequate interface launches automatically. From here, you can either launch an NDS file (say, a personal backup of a game you already own), edit options or view your multimedia files.
I was really impressed. It is a very simple and powerful utility and has injected many years of life back into my DS, which started to collect dust a few months ago after Animal Crossing started to get a bit boring.
Does exactly what it says on the triangular box! May 29, 2008

This card works like a dream, really simple and easy to use! I have 3 kids each with an NDS, 3 of these cards ensured that "My turn to have a go on that game" type of arguments were consigned to history!
Brilliant piece of kit!

I was actually quite shocked at how easy this was to use, had it up and running perfectly within ten minutes of opening the package.
Would recommend this to anyone, and will definitely be back for more.
Better Than R4 V2 June 21, 2008

I already have an R4 V2 and bought the Edge recently. Simple instructions on the box. You download a DAT file from the web address given and the card is ready to go. I like the layout better than the R4 V2 card. Works great.
