On time needed from launch to bricking.

But the biggest problem now is: will MS ask for hefty royalties on BSOD?   

You appear not to understand the meaning of the word "bricking"

(Psst everyone... trolling is now OK so long as you use emotes! )

I was 100% sure that you will be one of the first people who would comment on this,it's funny how you're against ''trolling'' only when it is about the 3DS/Nintendo.Stop taking it so serious,and try to ignore these kind of threads if it bothers you that much.

I don't think the Black Screen of death will become a big issue. From the sound of it , its a software issue that Nintendo will likely patch within days. Also as others said in the comment section its not like this Black Screen of Death is much of an issue, its very rare or you'd see dozens of threads on all the major gaming sites. If it turns out to be a hardware issue then Nintendo will fix it ASAP its not going to be like X-Box where 3-4 years into the generation the Red Light still kills your console. Nintendo will fix it rest assured.

Also Nintendo is giving us a very good warranty, it can be extended by regestering your console online. I've never had to send a console to Nintendo for repairs but I've had friends who's console broke on them and Nintendo was very reliable fixing the consoles in weeks or replacing them either or.

It sounds like there is a bug in one of the networking libraries on the 3DS, and this will (likely) be resolved with the system's first patch ...

I love it when posts calling out predictable behaviour end up being the most predictable posts of all!

I feel like the VgChartz commmunity knows me so well. <3<3<3

Well, CERTAIN recesses of it.

I understand it perfectly, but you know, poetic licence.    I did it for the ART LULZ HYPEZ!   

BTW, don't you appreciate the thread title, totally positive for 3DS? I feel distraught by your ingratitude!  :,,,(   

Now this is a serious issue, a world record is at stake!

As long as it's all in 3D it's ok.
