The service will allow travelers to try out demos of [Only registered users can see links. ], Cooking Mama, [Only registered users can see links. ], Tomb Raider: Legend, all at no cost. The demos can be downloaded wirelessly onto your DS via the Download Stations in certain terminals of airports so you won't have to worry about bringing your entire hodgepodge of accessories with you. Said titles will also be periodically rotated with other titles, so if you're a frequent flyer, you certainly won't grow bored.

Of course, there are some things to remember. The service is only available at select Delta terminals in the JFK International, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International airports. You'll also need a reason to go there, so make sure you have a ticket in the meantime.

Demos, great, yup, really great. I love demos.
It makes me buy more games in fact
But, download via airport thingies only? Pants and US only - of course

Great idea though, hope it spreads.

Momma Bear makes a mental note that when she comes to the UK in the fall, she will get to the airport early to find the Delta area and download demos. Although, I would have changed my airline had they provided the content on the airplanes.

I remember flying Virgin years back and playing SNES the whole way over.
