Wololo is angry due to the brick scandal, just like a lot of users here. He talked to Smealum via twitter asking him if he was going to do something to prevent Gateway from copying his work He doesn't know that Gateway essentially started the 3DS scene.

People in the business of making money from piracy engage in ethically questionable business practices...and in other completely unsurprising news...

I know that it is late and not really that informing but i got this yesterday and would like to share it with you guys:

 

[justinkb]

Thanks for sharing, it seems 2.0 is imminent.

 

[klim28]

With all the fuzz going around the bricking happening as of today "I think", is it safe to still get GW now or stay away from it for now. I finally got a 4.5 3DS so answers would be nice.

I wouldn't say imminent. They've been saying soon in the same way that Valve uses it for a while now.

Don't they know, like everybody else, that the only region that matters is NA?!

j/k j/k

Their 2.0b1 firmware and earlier is completely safe. Your call if you want to risk 2.0b2, although the only real benefit it provides is eShop use.

Thanks. So I'll get GW and stick with the 2.0b1 fw.

The gateway team teases us yet we see no release/date -_-

No release because one of the beta testers keeps bricking.

Now if only you had a source rather than pulling conjecture out of your ass.

True enough. On the other hand, every single time they actually said "in the next few days" in emails, they did deliver in the next few days. Has anyone seen any hard statements like that yet about 2.0?

That is pure speculation.

But, I did notice in teh videos at gateway's website, in an older video they are using a blue 3DS XL, and the latest video shows a silver 3DS XL, wft happened to the blue XL, was it taken out of service?

Someone has reported getting bricked using 2.01, but that could be completely unrelated and/or unfounded. Just as an FYI.

That is pure speculation.

Or... maybe the silver one was just closer at hand?

There's literally only one thing that could possibly mean: you pay more attention to which 3DS they use for video demonstrations than they do.
