(rumor) Nintendo 3DS flashcard support is a TRAP

Well seems like there's something more real. A retailers posted this:

"Dear customers who resell Nintendo 3DS "
"non purchase able 3DS system"
In case if you use equipment which is illegal or unapproved by Nintendo or if you do customization which is unapproved by Nintendo, there is a possibility that Nintendo 3DS become non bootable by system update.

- From Nintendo 3DS terms of agreement

Because of terms of agreement above, Enterking refuses to buy 3DS system with record of illegal or unapproved equipment.

"Request to format before you sell"

That's similar to the terms of agreement of Wii updates I think.

 

Edit:

It doesn't necessarily mean that Nintendo's updates will include some evil console bricking program, it's just that there's a risk with installing official system updates when you have a modified system and your console could become unusable.
