Nintendo can't do that, nor would it be a smart move on their part as far as keeping customers. They want you to continue buying their games, not push you away from doing business with them again. Aside from that, it is still in fact illegal for them to purposely damage your property. It's not "borrowing for an indefinite amount of time" despite what Sony is trying to push consumers to believe. Honestly, the whole rumor was started based on a line in the terms of agreement that was there from the start, just worded more aggressively. Not only that, but I'm sure hackers have sent a pretty strong message to other game companies when Sony tried to push their luck (with shady tactics, mind you, I never see anyone mentioning the fact that Sony was being a sly little dog with the whole lawsuit on various levels).
Remember how everyone thought Nintendo would brick our consoles for using flashcarts with this update? I'm loving my brand new brick right now.
And do you really think hackers would make custom firmware and still have automatic updates enabled straight from Nintendo's servers? That's funny if you think that way. The only people that will be getting bricked consoles are kids that don't understand you don't upgrade from custom firmware to official firmware, or who mess up trying to install custom firmware because they don't know how to read.
That aside, I managed to get Excitebike but the store went down again when I was about to download Pokemon. I have to say that the shop channel is UTTER CRAP. Is this what Nintendo really thought would be better than the Wii shop channel? What a joke. This layout is so horrible I don't even want to look at their freaking categories. I would rather their Wii shop channel layout than this crap.
Edit: 3D on Excitebike is surprisingly well done.
Edit 2: Why the hell are the screenshots of 3DS titles in the e-shop not in 3D? I mean, it's not that big of a deal to me but aren't they trying to market the games? Would it really be too much to include 3D screenshots of the titles?
