DS E3 Demos Available from the Aether

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?"

Yes indeed

This will be extra awesome since people wont have to wait in lines to play demos if they have their own DSes. It might even be faster to buy a new DS than to wait in line giving Nintendo a few sales.

I'm going to the Nintendo store opening tomorrow, hopefully they'll have something like this there too. As soon as I get within range I'm going to hit that download play button. I also fully expect all four picto chat rooms to be full and populated with representations of male genitalia.
