Sure, this is just a used DS Phat with a sticker on it, in a chipped lockbox, but it's the coolest used DS in a box we've ever seen. That's because this particular arrangement is a retail download station, of the sort set up in local stores (and at Safeco Field). It's intended to broadcast demos to anyone who brings their DS to the location that houses it.
As if it weren't cool enough to have a DS Download Station that is never supposed to leave the store, this set comes with two cartridges full of Download Play demos. The current bid is only $.99, but who knows how high the reserve is, especially given the $350 Buy It Now price. For that matter, who knows if Nintendo will see the auction and shut it down?

I had no idea the DS download station was an actual DS. :P

Indeed they are. Back when TRU was doing the ACWW Mario item promo, I got the person at the video game counter to let me borrow the ACWW card they used for the item transfer (It was called "ACWW Relay Version")... Which I then made a backup copy of with my M3. :D

you can also use your computer as your own download station if you get a particular wireless card and some software

I'd rather just pay for the cartridge and not everything else. Also, there's more than 8 different Download Station carts out, so I don't think it'd really be worth anything over $10.

I'd rather just wait for the Everybody's Nintendo Channel to get my DS Downloads.
I may have to wait a while, but at least it will be free.
