Well if he lives in Europe then he does own it. Laws are different here and even if they could claim it back '' they can't anymore after a period"You're completely missing the points here. 1. it is Nintendo's property, not yours. Regardless of which third party sold it to you, it was never owned by them nor you. They had a license agreement to have it in their store, but they never owned it. At any time in the future, Nintendo could seize this back from you with a simple court order. If they do that, you paid $350 for a giant headache and possible legal battle. The more you publicize that you own one, the more likely it is that Nintendo will want it back.
The only demo updates come from Nintendo. You'd have to get your hands on the WiFi install packages or update discs to do this. Update discs are not console specific, so they would work on any demo unit. As long as Nintendo doesn't blacklist your demo unit, you should be able to still retrieve updates, if any are being sent (doubtful we'll see any more at this point, with the possible exception of Zelda if demo NX units don't make it to stores in time).
So yeah, regardless of me collecting demo units or not, this was possibly the worst purchase decision you have made, mainly because you don't own it.
