3DS could feature automatic firmware updates

[MG4M3R]

I just want to continue pirating DS games in 3DS, like we do on the DSi.

Original games are really expensive here in Brazil, so I would end up buying a maximum of 3 games each semester.

The DS games would help to give variety.

 

[kudaku]

not that I want to pirate, but the system will definitely have region protection. so expect MANY MANY good games to not come to the west.
Many Atlus games won't be coming here unfortunately.

It'll be impossible to play unless you buy two 3DS's. Flashcarts are good to get past region protection. AND importing is around 3x the cost. If i wanted to play Pokemon Black in my native language, I would have to import costing me at LEAST $100...

We all know what's going to happen. If you get caught and use that excuse whether it's real or not. Nintendo and the legal team will just say either "Oh well, why should you get special treatment. Pay full price." Or they'll say "Then you shouldn't own a console in the first place."

Before or after he gets slapped with a multi-million dollar fine?

bullshit

Knowing Nintendo... I'd wager slapping him with a multi-million dollar fine. Then sue him again for court fees.

Care to back up your claim that they didn't lose money with statistics?

 

[Pavichokche]

I highly doubt they can FORCE it on you. I mean, you can just reset your wifi setting every night or turn it off (completely) somehow. I don't see Nintendo taking this seriously, just like they never took the DSi seriously

 

[DiscostewSM]

I'm pretty sure using a baseball slang analogy is even worse than my argument - and in that sense is it illegal to steal 2nd?

You thought I was serious with that? But my point before still stands. Stealing is not limited to when someone loses something when another takes it from them.

 

[mangaTom]

sure you can turn it off...but can u turn it off REALLY?

like "turning off" location services for iPhone or any iDevice...you think apple is really going to give you the freedom to not be tracked?...I think not..

and if they don't get you with the wireless update..

if you buy one of Nintendo's "so called" WORTH BUYING 3DS games....

the update is going to be bundled with it...so your fucked either way....

Um...if you really don't like the way how the system/console works..then..don't buy it,um simple as that...if you really....hate it that much...since we can't pirate games on it.

Just wait for a piracy-friendly console....um maybe one will come out,....I guess?

the wii also had those updates on some of the games.
yet you can bypass it with i.e priiloader.

what im saying is that there will be a way to bypass ths feature.
it's just gonna take some time for the hackers among us to find it

You'd also need to hope nintendo aren't constantly updating their defences from the start...

 

[chyyran]

How do you beat a hacker? Simple, you form a team consisting of very capable hackers to find ways to hack into the system while keeping the discoveries confidential, then fixing the problem before anyone can attempt to use the possible openings.

And that is what I would do if I ran nintendo.

but. you could turn off WiiConnect24 if you so choose.

3DS won't give you the option.

 

[Rydian]

The only argument for "piracy is the same as theft" hinges on the assumption that piracy equals a lost sale. That's false.

Piracy is not theft. They're not even in the same category of law, theft is under criminal law where piracy is under civil law.

I hope Nintendo bricks every 3DS that gets modified to allow piracy.

 

[DigitalDeviant]

I hope Nintendo bricks every 3DS that gets modified to allow piracy.

thats not going to happen, nintendo will at worst ban people from playing online, and we all know how robust their online service is...

 

[ShadowSoldier]

It's not going to happen. As good as Nintendo's coders are, there is always someone who's just as good, if not better. And someone who is safer to understand what's good, and what's bad.

It's simply not going to happen my friend. Unless there's a little dynamite inside that blows up when a certain thing is pulled apart as soon as unscrewing or putting weird things in the cart slot.

 

[Bladexdsl]

kiss flashcarts goodbye than their a nuisance anyway pretty much everytime a game comes out you need a new update to it and it usually takes them a few days sometimes more in the meantime other peeps are playing it while your stuck there just looking at it. doesnt bother me 1 bit since i'll be importing ALL my games i'm not gonna get stuck with a ds waiting for games to be released months later like it is here!

 

[NinjaMic]

I get the sneaking suspicion that these "good piracy sux" people are gigantic hypocrites.



But thats just me
