Nintendo Zone at BestBuy: Almost fail ... except ...

I read about Nintendo setting something called Nintendo Zone at Best Buy stores a month ago.  I wasn't like having some major hope, but still wonder how kind of "exclusive service" they would provide at store.

I tried 30 minutes ago, and it was lame.

All it does is providing web browser capability specifically for Nintendo 3DS, and then provide those game video and screenshot downloading that you can download with eShop app on 3DS with your own WiFi connection.  The trip was mostly waste of my time ....

... except that I was tempted and eventually put down $43.29 to buy a 3DS game Dead or Alive Dimensions.  So while the Nintendo Zone does nothing to me, it helped Nintendo made a sale that wouldn't have been if I were not at the store.  Good job Nintendo.
