Saw mention of DS Download Station in this month's Nintendo Power

.... but it's only available at Nintendo World in NYC at the moment

I got excited all for nothing. According to the article in the magazine though, they will expand it eventually at some point to major retailers, so it might be a good thing to bookmark the site and check it often.

Oh well, at least it's progressing. What kind of places are supposed to support these download stations (I don't know about you guys, but I normally don't like to play my videos while eating greasy french fires and hamburgers)?

I think they are supposed to be in retail stores too, dont they have deals with Toys R Us and Target in the works?

I sure hope so... but you know that whoever seals this deal will see significant increase in foot traffic, and who doesn't want the opportunity to increase potential sales figures?

I hope Walmart does not become a download station... it is one of the largest video game retailers in the United States at the moment, but they carry what they deem are definite movers so the selection is usually horrible.

True, but I saw them sell Gunstar Heroes for GBA and a few other left field games..
