All this talk of the GW3DS cart has left me genuinely curious about purchasing a new 3DS for myself. It harkens that moment in time just before the 27c3 when I purchased my first PS3 when they were all being shipped with OFW 3.40, but I digress. Pirating aside, it seems that the current 3DS hardware version that is being offered to the general populous is subject to "hacking," sans updating; again, I'm intrigued. It seems to me that the same exploit that makes the GW3DS work is probably going to be used in future applications.
So. The exploit is based on Nintendo 3DS's 4.5 firmware, yes? Anything below this renders a 3DS "exploitable," yes? It'd be good to know that a new purchase will coincide with these parameters.
tl;dr Should I buy a new 3DS? Should I buy a new 3DSXL? Are there special markings on the box that will guarantee said firmware?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
