It will most likely launch world wide on December 11th. I can't see Nintendo giving up easy money like that.  It'd be nice if Reggie actually told us what was happening.  His total abscence and miss knowledge lately has been a huge drag for fans.  Nothing he's said in the last while has been true.  Everything's been one big lie!  Should we list all his mistakes? ;)

Pretty neat. I hope NA's DS download channel is up as an Xmas present within the next couple weeks.

I'm starting to give up hope on the DS channel... what a wasted opportunity! People have been buying presents for awhile now, Nintendo should have had this up and running full speed last month so kids could make their wish lists...

It's a neat idea, and easy money but I don't think it's a huge loss if we don't get it this year. As they continue to expand the market though this will become more popular.
