Atari 2600 Cartridge Remade Into Wallet

It is $55.00 USD, however, the maker of this fine conversation piece says all of an Atari 2600 cartridge’s parts, except for one screw, are re-purposed to help make it into a wallet.
The maker, Nilesz, is running a win-a-wallet contest over on his site, which of course gives you the info on how to order one.
From his blog, it sounds like he does take mail-in requests, but you need to make sure you’re sending him something usable first.
It’d be geektastic if he could do the old Imagic cases, but the 14 he does offer – including Haunted House, Circus Atari and everyone’s favorite, E.T. – are slick enough.

What does the chip actually do? It looks like it’s just holding the credit cards in with an elastic strap, if anything.
@Luke: According to the guys website (see link in my post) the chip is for design and gaming purposes only – removal provides additional card carrying capacity and is playable in original Atari 2600 systems.
Psht, you expect me to click on links and read websites myself when you’re around to do it for me? As if.
