DS E3 Demos Available from the Aether

Posted by Zonk on from the what-else-is-it-good-for? dept.

Press the Buttons has the news that if you have a DS at E3 2005, this year's demos will be downloadable via wireless networks. From the article: "Now this has me thinking... since data downloaded into the Nintendo DS wirelessly stays in memory until the system is turned off, wouldn't it be possible to download, say, a Mario Kart DS demo at E3 and then just keep the system in sleep mode whenever it wasn't in use, thereby keeping the demo in your hands for weeks or even months after E3 is over?"

  1. Store the demos forever? by fwitness · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yeah, you could store the demos forever if you'd like. You would just never be able to play anything else, since you couldn't restart your DS.

    I like the idea of downloading these demo's on the floor though. A simple yet very cool implementation of our new wireless world.
