| irstupid said: 1. its been out near a month 2. this isn't bricking, the system still works unlike a bricked console 3. sounds like either a wifi problem or first gen games sd card problem. (either way easily fixable unlike a hardware problem) |
2. I know, I know, poetic license 
, in most cases the system isn't bricked, but as the message says, if a restart doesn't solve it, neither does changing cartridge or removing it too, it can be considered bricking, although the article doesn't specify whether the worst case ever happened yet. BTW, some people overreacted to VGC gamrFeed article's and other sites' choice of wording, "screens of death" don't necessarily imply bricking (although Windows BSoD can force to time consuming reinstalls if it's caused by corruption or very serious conflicts of essential system files, beyond recovery tools abilities, but it's not a true bricking anyway if the user can fix it at worst with a reinstall, without sending the PC to tech support), unlike RRoD that was far more often, er, deadly, and it concerned HW, not SW or FW.
Anyway the overreactions from the misunderstanding about what can imply a screen of death compared to rings and lights of death quite amused me. Nice to know Nintendo HW reliability should still be intact, but on the SW front shit happens, like to anybody else (well, to some bloated northwestern giant it happens more often and in a not too far past it happened up to perfect shitstorm level to HW too, but let's stop here about it, some of its fans are oversensitive ).
