Band Releases Album on NES Cartridge

Talk about niche marketing - Alabama band Fort Atlantic has released a digital version of their self-titled debut album on an NES cartridge.  Well, kind of.  The  cartridge won't work in an NES console, it connects to any computer via a USB cable.  So it's essentially a cool housing for a flash drive.  Cool idea!

Aerodrone has been selling a 3" CD packaged in an NES cartridge for a couple years: http://aerodrone.bigcartel.com/product/nintendo-nes-cartridge

Not quite as cool as a USB cartridge (especially since the "hinge" is duct tape), but I liked the concept.
