why does my DS hate me? v_v

So, I learnt not too long ago that if you go into a download center with your DS, you can get demos. I looked it up on the official site and found 2 nearby EBs that had it. So, brought my girly pink DS along in my purse, and turned it on in the first EB. Success! The download pack came up on the screen! Failure! >_< Some random error occured and it wouldn't send :/ After that, I couldn't even get a signal, and tried it in the second EB and no luck there either :/

...anyone know what went wrong there? I was kind of looking forward to playing an Elite Beat Agents (without having to stand around in a store playing the demo all day^^) and Cooking Mama demo... v_v

(Mega.EXE is looking over my shoulder and asks, "Need a hanky?" Yeah...)

(Anyways. Have you checked your connection settings? I know sometimes my DS just won't connect to the internet or whatnot because of some bogus setting. And it could've been down on their end as well. I've never used the demo thingy, though, so I'm not entirely sure how it would work.)

Hmmm settings would be an option to look at... I just think it's odd how it got ahold of it the first time, and couldn't even find it again :/ *shrugs* With the demos, I know that they come in packs of several different games, and I'm assuming you either pick from the batch, or it all gets stored onto the system.

Just to let you know, when it works, it brings up a list of games for you to download, in which you then pick "one" to download. Once its done downloading, it will start automaticlly, and will continue running until you shut off your DS, then which you will need to redownload it to play it again. You can simply shut your screen, and it will go into sleep mode, keeping the game and saving power...but you can only do THAT for so long.

But I think you should at least try to go to another EB or even try Gamestop. If that dont work, try writing an E-mail to Nintendo, saying exactly what happened.

Yeah, I found that out later on :/ I thought it beign a demo and all, it would at least have a section of the game you can play, because it wouldn't be too fun saying "I'll play it later" and turning off the game only to lose it :/ Oh well...
