Guys, there's no need to argue about piracy. However, if you do have the money and earn a decent living, you should try to support the industry by buying the games. I've got a gateway so i can carry many games in one card and the region free feature. Also, the lack demos is another reason why one would pirate a game.
You are right. I just recently picked up a 4.5 the other day actually running on 2.7 and have a 8.1 JP New 3DS, which I'm hoping to use the region free option when GW release it for 9.2 and below, and to carry multiple games at one time whilst away from home is cool.
However, I can easily obtain originals any time I want and have quite a few already in my collection along with 500+ originals for other systems I have, because I'm a collector of all consoles.
The hype and the behavior surrounding this update is way out of hand right now and the guilty ones need a reality check, as it is not the end of the world with this delay. Go play other systems, etc, yet children will be children.
