Nintendo 3DS users warned they risk 'signing life away'

[Zorua]

A campaign by gamers unhappy at the latest ‘draconian’ personal data storage measures has been launched.

According to its terms and conditions, Nintendo legally owns all its users content – including messages, information and images. It also logs personal data such as names, ages and addresses that are valuable for marketing.

Angry 3DS owners said on Thursday that they were sending cardboard bricks to Nintendo in protest at the policy.

cardboard bricks?

 

[prowler]

Am I the only one that doesn't care?

 

[Rogue_Ninja]

Nintendo's watching you.

 

[Uncle FEFL]

Can they do anything less retarded than sending Nintendo cardboard?

Am I the only one that doesn't care?

Yeah, I own an iPhone and a 3DS but I still don`t care! Though I can see people getting upset about these kind of things...

Sounds like some AP stuff to me

That's about as useful as Anonymous sending Sony pizzas.

I could personally care less, but that goes for anything I own. I own an iPod Touch as well, and I'm sure there's data being sent and stored, but as long as I'm not having hitmen sent to my house or other stupid shit like that, I don't care.

How much less?

 

[Sheimi]

lol, cardboard bricks. This doesn't bother me at all. I could really care less.

It did work out "fine" in the end for Sony nonetheless.

Can someone cite the specific quote in the TOS, was not in the source

 

[RupeeClock]

If this were really a fact, then people would have been complaining about this much sooner rather than now.

I don't give the source much credit at all.

 

[Miss Panda]

I'd like to know what the legalities of this are.

I could personally care less
So why do you care?

You are contradicting yourself. You care and don't care at the same time.

 

[heartgold]

Hasn't this been posted like five times already? lol

 

[boktor666]

this is... teh most epic fail of last month.. sending cardboard bricks, what the hell. I personally dont care what Ninty does with info such as locations.

 

[Jamstruth]

So if I buy a 3DS Nintendo owns all the game saves on the device, all the pictures I took with the device, all the notes and messages I've sent to friends and, crucially, any games I have purchased in the 3DSware store and saved on my device? BULLSHIT!!!!

 

[Windaga]

erm...ok?

I couldn't care less. Nintendo's taking my picture? NOOOOOOO-

*Bumps Wifi Switch*

Nintendo: DAMN. We were this close to getting that picture of that dog with a poorly colored pink mustache added in. : (

 

[iluvfupaburgers]

facebook already does this

Meh whatever it's their hand-held, they have the right to put in any policies they want, we us buyers must take into account that when we are adopting a hand-held/console from a particular company, we must abide the rules and respect the policies, if we can't, don't buy it all. No one gets hurt.
