pfft, serves em right if you ask me, although if i do get a 3DS, apparently i'll need to be careful about buying games online
Nintendo Can Disable a Pirate's 3DS Remotely
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
You know, at this rate, the next Nintedo concole (Maybe the 4DS or Puu or something) will fire a tranquiliser dart at anyone who trys to play a pirated game on it. Then, it'll send out a signal before somehow transporting the pirate to an underground prison.
... Well, I would enjoy it. If only because I don't pirate.

you mean like hack into your computer, infultrate the internet and them organise a worldwide computer rebellion against man? because that's the only reason i haven't pre-ordered a 3DS yetRussian_Assassin said:
also, they can kill you with their brains. let this be a lesson for everyone: don't screw with teh Nintendos!
Do have to point out that they haven't cracked the 3DS, just got DS flash cards running on it. 3DS software (and DSi-only software) is still secure.Odjin said:
Good on Nintendo for being the first company to have the stones to really take the fight to the pirates with this one.
If they accidentally disable an innocent person's 3DS there will obviously be some kind of compensation, probably along the lines of "here have a free 3DS and maybe some games." You people keep making this look worse than it is.
If pirates really want to steal from these hardworking developers then they can deal with the consequences that Nintendo has laid out. It's their own damn fault for breaking the law.
And won't you have to be hooked up to the internet for Nintendo to even monitor you? You guys should be taking that into consideration. Of course I don't know how pirating works exactly but you can only access torrent sites on the internet obviously.

they also have remote detonators that can set off bombs that spray acid into your eyes if you watch youtube videos on how to hack a 3ds. and then the pieces will turn out to be nanobots and murder your loved ones and your loved one's dogs. and then violently rape you. and then steal all your stuff, never to be seen again. and all this is after it successfully frames you for a school shooting.

yea i see this ending very badly only a matter of time
Combined with the price point, I seriously doubt this thing is going to sell. If anything, it's going to sell more of the DS lite, since that's bound to dive in price and it's not a portable information collection hub.
I'm not happy about this. Try this level of invasiveness on nearly anything else and you get a sound hate on from the people. Nintendo tries it and way to many people are okay with it. Shows how much the companies image influences what they can get away with.
This is strikingly similar to the Apple system proposed, you know the one that can track your phones activity and even take pictures with the camera if the apple overlords so desire.
I said it before, just because it's possible for someone to do something doesn't make it right.

you can always rip out the WIFI chip

This feels like it is connected in some way to the Sony vs Geohot case. Geo suggests that what he does with his device is his own business. He also suggests removing features post release is slimy. Here we have a 3DS, which feels like it's on loan, or has a "do not void the service agreement... or else" sticker tagged onto it.
In this sense, I agree with Geohot. My device; I can fiddle with it how I please. Ignoring the creepy big-brother-always-on Saurons Eye function of the device, shutting down a devices function because it didn't like something you did is shady to say the least.

The actual warning says that modifications can LEAD to bricking because they can't account for it.
But sensationalist news is the kind that gets replies.
