people are making a big deal out of nothing. the same thing is said by nintendo every wii firmware update that unauthorized modification can result in an unoperable system. i doubt them saying it this time means anymore than the other times.


Yeah, that's my take on it as well.

Hopefully that's the case, to absolve themselves of accidental incompatibilities with unaccounted-for modifications, which is the risk the owner assumes on themselves, and would be both moral and legal

If that is the case then I'm fine with it.

Using a flashcard is not modding the system.


Using a flashcard is stealing games. It's still evil and I want to see people punished for doing so.

what? they can damage my hardare? the one i legally bought and can do with wathever i want? how is that possible?


By stealing games, that's how it's possible. They can legally damage your system for playing software that you ILLEGALLY obtained. Deal. 


I'd be fine with this if it was the government. But nintendo should not brick your console. They can cut your tie to their online service and turn you in to the authorities, or sue you, But to have a kill switch is bad. I dont agree with piracy, but that is an isue for authorities to deal with. Once you buy that 3ds you own it.


You hit this one out of the park, it's your system, you're free to do what you want with it, the online system is Nintendos they're free to block you from it, but destroying personal property is sorta illegal...

When u buy your system, you agree with whatever Terms of Uses are attached to the system. If u do not like the terms given, you are FREE not to buy the system. If u do buy it you agree to abide buy the terms.

Therefore if u choose to have unautherized software on the system, u choose to  accept the risks involved when updating with offical nintendo firmwares. 

Hence, if your console becomes a brick due to updates, it is your fault not nintendo's because u chose to have the update with your modded system.

ToS and EULA are only as good as they are written. Having a clause that they can destroy your property would most likely be thrown out of court. You can not contract your self out of the law. Nintendo can choose to not sell me one. Once they do, what I do with it is out of their hands.

It is not nintendo thats destroying your property, its u  for having skecthy software running that can cause conflicts.

Not in every country. I think you can buy it in Spain, and I'm sure that in other countries.

They aren't banned perse, it's just looked down upon and Amazon won't list them.
