I hate bottling and do not have room for a fridge with cornelius kegs. Anyone tried the party pig?

I understand that the inflating "pressure pouch" expands to maintain a constant pressure of 15-20 PSI. But that CO2 remains in pouch. If I naturally carbonate my beer, will this system hold that the CO2? for at least a month or two??
I'm not as concerned about not being able to dispense the beer as I am about losing carbonation.

I too was surprised on how big they are when I first saw one.
I'm gonna get one shortly too. I the only thing I don't like is that you have to buy the pouches.
I saw someone here on HBT modified a pig with a chrome tire valve right at 12 o'clock as you face the tap. I searched for it and could not find the post.
Then you throw on one of these. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByID.aspx?ProdID=4570
I'm thinking of doing this that way I can do nitro on a Pub Ale or a Stout. Hmm makes me thirsty.
This way you can do natural, force carb or pouch. If you force carb you need a tire hose from the regulator.
