I thought intentional remote bricking is illegal ("self help"), regardless of contract or terms.

- wmf 15y agoThey may be able to get around that by making the bricking "accidental" (e.g. "we didn't test the firmware upgrade on hacked consoles" wink wink). But in general Nintendo shouldn't threaten bricking even if they're not planning to do it.
- kragen 15y agoSelf-help is often legal.
- Natsu 15y agoScarily enough, a few years ago, people were out pushing a bill (which got dubbed the "right to virus") that would have made this sort of thing legal. And to our PCs, too. Anyhow, I definitely won't be getting a 3DS.
