Disney's Wi-Fi game future

The Nintendo DS version of Disney's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is, like most movie tie-ins, mediocre. But it could turn out to be a landmark, thanks to the introduction of a feature that Disney plans to include in all its future DS releases. It's called DGamer, and it uses the DS's Wi-Fi capabilities to create an online network for kids.
DGamer lets kids create online avatars, chat with friends, unlock collectible items and trade prizes with other network users. For example, a player who won a sword in Prince Caspian could give it to another DGamer buddy.
Disney has human monitors keeping an eye out for inappropriate traffic, as well as several layers of security to ensure that kids can't chat with anyone whom their parents haven't approved.
They have had mixed results in there last to DS ventures... One was a interactive map and another one that required the PoTC game. Would like to hear a little more about this one to see what it's like...
Anyone out there play with the original ones? _________________ Up or Down North, South, East, or West An Adventurer's Life is Best!
