Topic: Nintendo DS Download Station Locator Online!

Yeah, I played a demo of Brain Training before I got the retail version, and whenever you did the 20 math problems, the last answer was always "1", even though the problem would be like "8-2=", of course I would write "6", but according to my DS, 8-2=1.

if they say anything about your DS ask them if they sell DS's with games and scratches and pre-installed user settings with your name on them.

if so, tell them you want a cut.

It's weird, I went to the Best Buy, and I never actual "saw" the download station. But standing near the gaming section (next to some tweens playing Gitaroo Man) I was able to connect and download the Brain Training demo. Very cool, IMO.

The $5 off any DS title I combined with a copy of Bomberman DS marked $15 and got for $10. Not sure when I'll get a chance to play it though, since that would mean losing the Brain Training Demo. I at least want my mom to try it first.

I suppose the kinks are still being worked out, but what was there was great. Sudoku is great on the DS.

Yeah, I hope they fix that voice problem... I figured out there are two ways to get around it. You can either say "Baloo" like the character from the Jungle Book, or you can say "Brue" with an emphasis on the "ue". Doing that I got it to accept my blues more often than not, but the delay from the 'not' parts still left me "in it's eighties"

I've never experienced that problem, Brain Training (retail) always recognizes the colors I say perfectly...so consider it fixed, I guess. There are a couple other problems, it likes you to make your number fours look like they do on a keyboard (4, where it it's shaped like a triangle), which is how some people make them anyway, but I write mine with an open top, so it takes a little getting used to. Also, and this has only happened once, if you're doing the math problems, and say the answer is 15, but you accidentally write the 5 first, you can't just write a 1 in front of the 5 after this, or the game thinks you're writing 51, even though you placed the 1 before the 5, you must hit erase and rewrite the answer. Brain Training goes by whatever you write first as the first number, which makes sense if you think about it really, but if you don't remember this, it'll mark you incorrect and will majorly hurt your score.

That's kind of crappy.  So much for carrying/borrowing when adding/subtracting.  I hope there aren't any large-number problems (e.g. 5,432 - 4,189).

Nothing like that, it's all simple math...at least so far. My brain age is 23 today, down from originally 40, 20 is the ideal age...and I'm 24 in real life so I guess that's pretty good.

I just checked out my location in the website and I have ten locations within five miles of my house.  I'm going to have to check this bad boy out.

My gamestop just got one two days ago and I must say it is super awesome.  I brought true swing golf (I think that's the name) just because of the demo. I would not have otherwise touched the game.  I can't wait until we start getting demos of games that aren't out yet. (brain training doesn't really count cause it's out tuesday).
The brain training demo always messed up my blue and black. maybe it's my accent though. good to hear the retail version may not have that problem. overall super slick thing this download station is.

I visited a download station at gamecrazy last night, and it was a pretty awesome experience.  Super *quick* downloads.  I ended up playing sudoku while chatting with the employees for like a half hour (all while showing off my ds lite!).

The employees mentioned getting upgrades every 2 to 3 months.  Pretty exciting!

I downloaded the brain training demo, I can't get it to understand the word blue, i keep having to say brue lol
