Found: DS Download Station

We've returned from traditional Thanksgiving activities like gorging on bird meat and conversing with family members, and I have something to be thankful for: After giving up the search, I finally found a DS Download Station in Knoxville.

I've been looking for one of these for at least a year. It seems PictoChat is the only DS main menu option I use less than Download Play, and I was excited when first I heard Nintendo was taking advantage of this feature to demo games, as I rarely buy a new game these days without trying it first. But with local retailers not having a station in-store, the big N wasn't helping anyone reach into my wallet.

I've heard of retailers not putting one up because of the lack of floor space in those cramped mall stores, but come on, it's a wireless signal. Stash it in the ceiling and tape a sign to the wall; I'll show. Best Buy doesn't seem to have the same claustrophobia issues, however, and they put the station at the end of the DS/GBA aisle. The games listed on the sign don't match what's available, though.
