Yes the best thing that Nintendo can do, its a lot easier to hack the Firmware if it is on Cartridges, you must only dump one Game with Firmware Update and modifying the ROM

Many high tech stuff like mobile phones, computer and gaming consoles allready do automatic updates trough internet

Not really. It's not up to Nintendo what firmware I decide to play on. If I buy a gaming system, I'll decide what goddamn firmware I want to run it on. If it's an optional update, that's one thing, but it's mildly infuriating to see a company say that they're going to plan on what firmware I run and when it gets installed on the system I purchased.jet™ said:Good on you, nintendo.

That comparison makes little sense, going above the speed limit is illegal, but it's still possible. The 3DS's problem isn't that is has updates but that it doesn't give me an option.DiscostewSM said:If I sell you something telling you that I'm going to auto-update it for you every once in a while, and you still buy it, then you are AGREEING to the EULA, period, there is no "....in Europe that's illegal..", cause the moment you pay for it you have the manual where this agreement is written, so you can disagree to this EULA and return the product, or open your system, damage your WiFi antenna and never being bothered by any type of external contact, I was the same piss off when I bought my car and realized that in the EULA says you CAN'T run above the speed limit, so if I ever want to run faster then I would have to make my own vehicule, comprendes mendez..?? or you are still thinking no one can force you to use the things as they are supouse to be used...??silverbullet1080 said:That's all fine and dandy, but my problem lies in the fact that they're automatic updates as opposed to how pretty much every other mobile device works where updates are an option. When my android phone tells me theres an update, I have the option of updating or not. Short of disabling wireless, that option is gone on the 3DS.jet™ said:Good on you, nintendo.

Then you are purposefully limiting yourself to what you can do on it, and what games you can play. Firmware updates are just that, updates. Fixes bugs. Adds functionality. Many games won't run unless you update to the newest update. The only thing it could "take away" is anything it was not meant to do in the first place, such as piracy (which I'm sure is why you are against this). It is Nintendo's responsibility to ensure their products remain stable, and your responsibility to allow them to do so with products they made that you bought. If something should happen to your system by not updating the firmware, Nintendo would not be responsible for the consequences.
