not good enough


Agreed.

It's good that they're planning on fixing this issue in the future, but they should never have tied your account to the console in the first place.

I think this relates to the cloud servie they are working on.   The company they partnered with (Mozy, Inc) didn't have it all ready in time for launch so they had to tie accounts to the console.   Once the cloud service launches next year, I expect accounts will be unleashed from the console.

Oh my days.

Why so many issues? Saying that though, nintendo is new to all this "proper" networking stuff.


Just like Microsoft and Sony were new to consoles and didn't make reliable hardware till recently.


Speak for yourself, I have never had  a Sony console break on me. My PS1/2/3 all still work.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Then you're probably in the minority. A few unbiased Google searches can show you that, in general, both Sony and MS console failure rates are significantly worse than those of Nintendo. Mind you, this whole discussion is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand so the person you're quoting really shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.

I guess a troll comment got a troll comment in response, huh? :P

how the heck is that a troll comment in response? He is just giving his opinion based on his experience. Not even sure how you can even try and explain how that would be 'trolling;

from my personal experience I have yet to have a single home console break from PS. But my psp's broke twice. Once was genuinely my fault the other it wasn't. 

The comment he was responding to however had other intentions. Damage controlling at it's finest in that one. Has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand

anyway OT: still lame. Hope they fix it soon. Such backward thinking

If under warranty and break in a way covered by it, those that aren't and those expired I doubt it.

As someone who's has had to deal with Nintendo a few times over this issue, I can tell you that you don't have to pay. 

I only paid once, and that was when I spilled water on my 3DS.  My negligence, so I paid.

I wasn't talking about what I quoted. I was talking about the two original quotes, as in, the "Nintendo doesn't know how to do online" one and then the "Sony/MS don't know how to make consoles" one. Talking about your personal experience, while rather pointless and irrelevant, is completely alright and I wasn't calling it trolling at all. My mistake if I didn't make that clear. I definitely agree that what sethnintendo said was very damage control-ish, though, even if it was arguably warranted.

I've heard nothing about this cloud service. I hope you're right about it launching next year, though.
