So it's official, Nintendo can brick your 3DS with a software update. The Free Software Foundation (whoever they are) is targeting Nintendo in an Anti-DRM campaign because of it. The leader of the FSF went on to say:
"Further, they stated that they are unsure that they could repair a device to make it so that it could run again. And, that if they did brick a device, they would void the warranty; therefore the person would have to pay for the attempt to service and repair the device — e.g., unbrick it — which they are not sure would work anyhow."
Sounds like hackers will have a hard time on the 3DS.
