uh its still ilegal to ban you from games you paid for the tos arent laws you nnid isn't banned but they still force you to buy another system if you want to redownload games you have delted of your ds

Except in today's world, you don't actually own the software you buy. Most companies grant you a revocable license. Imagine if the same thing happened to your Steam account...

Im in the same boat im thinking about doing this. Are you able to access everything on the new ds? Are you able to create a new nnid access eshop

Honestly I haven'tr tried it... I'm scared as hell of eshop atm. Also I decided I would leave my n3ds without a NNID ... not risking getting my main NNID banned from wiiu.

I mean, good luck trying to pull over a lawsuit on Nintendo though. But considering I preordered both games before the pre-load was out. Decided to see if ISO had any new developments and played after I had put the money down for the games. I mean that's basically a transaction. If anything Game Stop or Nintendo should be the ones being punished for shady business practice, holding onto the games until much later when it was obvious that they were finished. The pre-loads were up pretty early.

Then again their ToS does stipulate manipulation of their platforms and services as a termination of "contract" but still. Seems like a bit of an overreaction. I don't doubt that there were some people who were never planning on paying for the games, but banning hackers from using the Eshop...well that's just silly.

I guess we wouldn't be in this boat if we hadn't gone online but hey, testing the limits.

So, I've unbanned my 3ds with the movable.sed method and picked up the Sun cart I ordered. I'm still paranoid that I'll get banned again lol

I feel you. Yesterday my wifi failed at home and the first thing that crossed my mind is "NINTENDO BANNED MY HOME WIFI"... Then it worked again like 30 seconds later and I realized I needed some peace of mind.

It's not paranoia, it's extremely likely we'll be banned again, I'm pretty sure the changed LFS is pretty easy to track. My atomic unban solution, should other methods be rendered ineffective, is to replace the motherboard, which run around $70 on eBay.

I'd rather get another 3ds instead of replacing the mobo tbh.

I wouldn't be so sure if it's that easy to track.

If you use a seed from a friend and he connects at the same time then maybe, but if you for example use a seed from your OWN movable.sed that came from a system transfer... how the hell would they know? It's from your own system, and the wifi only checks for that seed and nothing else to allow you to connect.

They could overhaul their networking and apply consoleID checks to wifi, but that would require a firmware upgrade and we can always spoof and stay on lower.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Not only that but I highly doubt after their blanket ban they would go to those extremes so close to the EoF anyway (yes I realize it will be "supported" until 2018 or so but that's irrelevant) with the switch right around the corner. Makes me wonder why they are so non-chalant about the WiiU in comparison to the 3DS though.

Along that same insane line of reasoning as that metaphor, it's like we kidnapped and raped the CEO's wife.

I really hope you guys are right, but what about the MAC address? I figured they'd use that bastard to bust us in the future.

No, no it's not.When you buy digital media, you are not buying ownership of the content, period. You are literally renting a license to use the software on your own hardware. Physical cartridges obviously aren't. This means (and read the ToS you hit "agree" on before buying anything) that they can for any reason rescind that license at their discretion because they own it. You do not. With physical, it's the exact same you do own the actual disc but you still don't own the data period, so if the game requires an update that you can't access because you got banned; ToS my friend. Point is, you own the medium outright, you don't own the media period so they can take it away whenever they want to.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
