PS2: Memory Adapter USB  BUY  US$45

   A few weeks ago, EMS Industrial released their Gamecube Memory Adapter which allowed the transfer of save-game data from a USB memory card to PC hard drive for archival purposes, online swapping and other purposes. Fresh from their versatile GC hack, a similar device for the PS2 was released a few days ago.
   Somewhat more convenient to use than the earlier flash-ram based EMS Memory Card adapter for PS2, the new version allows the transfer of game data from an official PS2 memory card (that you supply) to your PC's hard drive via USB connection. The DVD drivers for the Japanese SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000 consoles may also be archived for safe-keeping. Once transferred, data may be sent around the globe or hacked for whatever reason you can think of. The memory adapter is also outfitted with a FORMAT button to erase data on any PS2 memory card that is inserted in the front slot. Armed with one of these, the hardcore RPG fan will never lose game saves again once the data has been saved onto whatever medium available to you. Once backed up, game data or DVD drivers may be transferred from PC to any memory card that is inserted into the Memory Adapter. A drivers disk and instructions are included.

NEWS: New Preorders & General Updates
   Preorders for Xbox N.U.D.E. [Natural Ultimate Digital Experiment] are open today. A growth simulation at heart, N.U.D.E. offers up a blank robotic girl which requires programming by way of human interaction. The goal is to teach your charge so that it eventually functions as an independent entity capable of communicating and operating on its own internal animus. Developed by Red Entertainment, N.U.D.E. ships on April 24 at a price of Y6800 or US$60 from NCS.
   View back covers for PS2 Anubis, Gun Survivor 4 and GBA FFT Advance.

   Another shipment of GBA SPs is expected tomorrow. NCS will send out a confirmation email for this week's batch of preorders this morning. Once we've cleared that slate, we expect to fill all remaining preorders by the end of next week. That will give everyone about a month of exclusivity before the USA GBA SP launches.

   Bandai announced a new set of Dragonball Z action figures shipping in June 2003. A Lupin figure set also ships from Bandai in June 2003.
