Did you read the article? I've seen your back and forth with Pemalite. I really dont get how you could make your posts after reading the article. 

Did you two read the article? Let me help you with that.

And like I said before... It is common knowledge among game resellers that these dev kits are not to be sold to the public. So the reseller knew full well he was conducting an illegal purchase of Nintendo's property. That's the bottom line, unless you can quote some legal loophole in the U.K. that magically makes the dev kits the property of Sega or the scrap yard or a Sega employee. 

If I borrow a game from you and sell it a garage sale and the purchaser knows it is not mine is that a legitimate purchase?

Companies terms of service, EULA does not override your consumer rights.

In Australia, which is often based on UK law, secondhand purchases are generally not bound by a company's original terms of service, as the terms of service contract is between the manufacturer and the original purchaser.

Also. Read the article and start putting consumers before big business/rich. It's silly.

Can you provide a link to U.K. law stating so? Also was it specifically an EULA that Sega was bound to and not a rental contract? 

 I emailed (bolded below) Nintendo's PAL branch with the following email. I also reached out to a U.K. law service for clarification. Maybe we can figure out whether or not U.K. law overrides their agreement. 


Hello,

Can I buy a Nintendo dev kit from a reseller?

When purchasing a Nintendo 3DS or DS Dev Kit does it become my property? Or does it remain the property of Nintendo? If it remains the property of Nintendo could you include a copy of the contract that makes it remain the property of Nintendo?

Also, why do you believe everything Time Extension says, telling me to read the article, when the article outright states that the dev kits always belong to Nintendo? Let's say that it is an EULA that Sega was bound to. That would make Time Extension wrong. But if they are wrong about that why trust anything else they say? Do you realize that this entire discussion hinges on Time Extension gullibly believing everything the reseller tells them?
