| bonzobanana said: So Nintendo are controlling the launch with the consoles shipping unusable until the day one update so even if you get the console before the launch date it cannot be used for gaming. So basically there is no advantage to getting it early because the update won't be downloadable until launch day. However I guess there is a chance we might see a teardown before launch day of a retail unit but I guess that is a bit too optimistic. Interesting that the console has no useful functionality at all until the official launch day though. I've not heard of anyone doing this before. |
So they not only can brick your console whenever it suits them.... its not functional at launch without a day1 update?
Then they record everything you do or say in chat/live steam, and they require info on you, as well as your phone number to use such.
You have to pay for chat funtion... or a console button on your controller does nothing.
You sign away your rights to sue them, to use it (the switch) as well.
Nintendo are going all in.
All off this feels really anti consumer btw.
