    I think this might actually convince me to pick up a DS if it means I can finally get my hands on FFIII.

    I wonder if a DS Player might be in the works for the GameCube? I know that's a longshot, especially considering how the dual screens would have to be set up on a TV screen, but one can hope, can't one?

    Man... FFIII. I hope there's a North American release, dammit.

    I bring up that last point because it sounds as if they are expecting you to bring the DS to a location (a movie theater) to get the data, rather than being able to get it over the internet through any hotspot.
    Actually, it sounds more to me like they plan to use the Pokemon downloads to push attendance at the Pokemon movies. I'd assume that movie theaters will have a little box that will transmit the new data to the DS sometime near the end of the movie so you have to sit through the whole film to get the goodies.
