But why should we have to surrender our saved data because of an obvious hardware failure?
I don't really disagree with anything you said, and in a perfect world, you wouldn't have to. But if you want to avoid further frustration caused by trying to move a mountain -- in this case Nintendo -- then you can compromise and return the product to the retailer you purchased it from. My mother always loved to use the saying, "you can't fight city hall."
Do what you want, of course. I'm just saying, it's likely to be much less of a headache to count your losses and deal with the retailer. And again, the losses are merely saves and information, not additional fees. The system has been out for less than a month. I'm fairly certain no one is going be making a great sacrifice in that regard.
