Your source for that thread is just rehashing what their sources said. Destructoid is making shit up based on tips they've received, having no source on the actual bricking, just that Enterking won't buy 3DS's that have been used for piracy. They're also using GoNintendo as a source, who is also making an enormous leap from "the retailer can check your system logs" to "piracy will brick your 3DS." Basically, all 3 news sites are bullshit, sensationalistic articles that have no business being on the internet because it causes n00b flair-ups, like yours.bigpaws said:Companies have gotten away with stuff before.
I mean that it is a threat that could be used if the need arises.
They told you not to do it.
You do it.
They have the option to brick your console.
If you break a law, the consequence could be death.
murder is illigal but they can kill you for certian crimes.
scaling this down, pirating several games that leads to bricking is the proportionate to killing several people leading to your death by murder from ther gov.
Murder is illegal. Capital punishment is not.
Pirating is illegal and so is a game company bricking your device.

BlueStar said:I can't believe these warnings have been given so much credence by games sites, Sony claimed that third party controllers would brick PS1s and no-one cared. If this even makes you think twice about fiddling with your system, I'm sorry, you're simple. It's no more ominous than any other ToS warning.

And you know the blurb about "Use of an unauthorised device may render your game unplayable"?
The 3DS has extended that, it says something like "Use of an unauthorised device may render your game or system unplayable"
You can't do illegal stuff for illegal stuff whether it stated or not. Again it got brick because of a firmware change/flaw, they didn't remotely brick it.wiiluver135 said:http://nintendo3dsblog.com/proof-nintendo-...-want-you-to-do
Derp! We're all FAWKED!
Of course nintendo could do it. If you accept their policy they can do whatever. No one sued when ea shut down servers as they had the right to according to the warnings. Also nintendo bricked wiis with the error 004 or 003 Or whatever it was. The update was made purposely to brick. They have the right to so don't be surprised when they do. Cuz in order to get the update u must accept the policy. Do Not hack get over it!!!KingVamp said:caffolote said:http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=153665
GoNintendo just confirmed that using a flashcart WILL brick your 3DS. Even Nintendo made notice here. Things just got interesting
Even then (as if it was new) it sounds like your flashcart will brick the device not Nintendo.
Putting *will* there is a scare tactic.
I think I seen things like that before.
Would you even think twice about the warning if they said could or would in there?
