Nintendo 3DS smuggled off a Chinese assembly line

Rather than sell it on eBay he'll probably sell it to a flashcart team.

Okay front page updated. Also here are the images:

Can anyone make out what the battery says? I think it says 1300 mAh, but it could be 2300 or 3300, but I'm not sure. Also when the DS is running it says it has 96MB of RAM.

Haha. Oh wow. Nintendo and Sony must be pretty embarrassed lately. How on Earth does something like this happen? They must have pretty lax security for something like this to go by unnoticed.

Imagine if this unit has a non-final version of the OS without security features for these E3-type events. It could present some interesting information if the guy plans to leak more information about the unit.

Its not as bad as Apple's security. They left an iPhone 4 prototype in a bar. At least for Sony and Ninty it was the factory workers that had to smuggle things out.

I'd imagine it might have a final version of the OS designed for retail. That would be awesome to see but unfortunately he's probably going to be tracked down before anything good gets out now.

I seem to read 1360 mAh?

The unit is looking pretty sexy, but pretty much the same as when we saw it at E3.
But it carries the same three complaints I have then.

1: The stylus is next to the cartridge slot like on the original DS, which is not really an ideal place after the DS Lite and DSi.
2: The Start and Select buttons are beneath the touch screen, not entirely ideal. (I can imagine myself instinctively reaching for the power button by mistake!)
3: The headphone socket is in the exact middle of the device, even Apple knew this was not an ideal placement, their iPod line has kept the headphone socket to one corner for years now.

First sony and now nintendo.Oh brother.

OzModChips · Jan 3, 2011

Same power as DSi? nice
looks sleek

Its a Dev unit, not final production. So the final unit may differ...they still have plenty of time to change stuff.

Maybe he will give it to flashcart developing team and you know the drill

manu-m3 · Jan 3, 2011

Have somebody his text that he write in the Forum??

ThePowerOutage · Jan 3, 2011

One thing: For a Chinese factory worker he certainly has a decent amount of cash. All those consoles, the samsung Tv and the decent apartment seem almost put
Of place.

OzModChips · Jan 3, 2011

lol
do you guys really think heis the factory worker?

Nintendo factory is run by Foxcon
they own a whole town
no one can go in or out
factory workers would not post picture from inside foxcon

Someone would have smuggled it out, and sold it to someone.

I was thinking the same thing. I mean, you can see in a reflection how nice his camera is as well.

Rock Raiyu · Jan 3, 2011

Reading from the Chinese forums, the battery doesn't even last long...

And they already found out who the guy is. That was quick.

I agree, his desk also looks like proper expansive wood rather then cheap imitation stuff

ItsMetaKnight · Jan 3, 2011

Either way, it's still a serious crime. Not sure why GBAtemp supports this.
