QUOTEWikiLeaks is an international non-profit organisation that publishes submissions of private, secret, and classified media from anonymous news sources and news leaks. Its website, launched in 2006 and run by The Sunshine Press,[3] claimed a database of more than 1.2 million documents within a year of its launch.[7] The organisation describes its founders as a mix of Chinese dissidents, journalists, mathematicians, and start-up company technologists from the United States, Taiwan, Europe, Australia, and South Africa.[3] Julian Assange, an Australian Internet activist, is generally described as its director.[8] WikiLeaks was originally launched as a user-editable wiki site, but has progressively moved towards a more traditional publication model, and no longer accepts either user comments or edits.

China is a big place with over a billion people... It may take a while to find out who it is... Go Chinese dude, if they know who you are, you are FIRED!!!

It's been said many times in this topic, but that particular quote immediately made me think of this:

 

[Fireballo]

This guy should have posted pictures of the 3DS running ds games.

he posted a video, it doesn't work, it's sort of an incomplete piece

I doubt it'll get hacked now, Nintendo will most probably find the person who is keeping the 3DS. And the 3DS leaked video...dammit, why didn't you turn it ON -_-

He did turn it on.
And please explain to me why this prevents it from being hacked.


Anyway, I bet he's probably feeling rather pleased with himself.

I'm not quite sure if I like the analogue stick (slide pad) being white contrasting with the black, but maybe it'll be fine after getting used to it, or maybe they'll change that. I hope they have another shade of blue in release though, rather than just the light blue. Maybe like the SP's Electric Blue or the DS Lite's Cobalt/Black...

We don't know at which point of production the 3DS was stolen at. The slide pad certainly looks unfinished, maybe they apply the paint after having it assembled? Not to mention it seems more like a developer's 3DS rather than a retail one...
I seriously doubt the retail model will have the slide pad looking like that, specially since you can see it as black on Nintendo's own website:

Edit: I just realized the final model will have it, as pointed in the post below, and Nintendo's japanese site.
Worst design choice ever.

@Goli
The Slide pad will be white/grey.
But thats nothing new, that was already presented on 29,9.2010.

Well, the final version of the console does have a gray slide-pad.
This was even on the front page.

New picture, bad quality.

You really think WikiLeaks cares about this?

And I bet this was set up by Nintendo for marketing purposes like Apple did with the iPhone. Sure, 'cos you let two employees lose two of the most secret prototypes in the world (Apple is pretty secretive of their products), at that time (one that was bought by Gizmodo, and the other was found in Vietnam)? Nah.

don't you think that's a little far-fetched...

OT: sucks that it hasn't been flashed yet with the firmware.

 

[Ritsuki]

Bigger than I thought. I'll wait for 3DS Slim

 

[Rydian]

I mean, 98MB of RAM isn't a lot

The PSP 1000 only has 32MB of RAM.
The original DS and DS Lite only have 4MB of RAM.

Consoles != PCs.

 

[Depravo]

The question is how on Earth did he fit it up his anus?

 

[lostdwarf]

The recent leaked video of the 3ds shows the unit from the side and as you can see from my screen shot, the lid does not close flush against the rest of the unit! you can see a huge gap.

thoughts....

have fun waiting for something that may never come.

QUOTE(diando @ Jan 3 2011, 09:20 AM) Well, I think it is the Japanese fault for making products in China. If they make the stuff I believe they can hack it too.

they don't design they hardware OR software. they just mass produce it.
(i believe?)
