Ah, I see. I've been hearing stories of them getting bricked as well. Unrelated, but controller drift problems were reported on day 2. I would like to recommend abstaining from the purchase of any Nintendo products for the forseeable future. Seems like they hate their customers and aren't really willing to change, no matter what. Zelda and Mario are pretty cool, but I think that at this point, Nintendo is just running on nostalgia and brand recognition.

Do you have any sources for those bricked consoles you've heard of?
I've heard of a recent update to their ToS, where people have mentioned the possibility of Nintendo bricking consoles, but haven't actually seen any examples.

Excellent question. Apparently, after having looked into everything, they haven't been bricking, just banning. As someone else said, it basically does the same thing for most people, as you can't get updates or access the store. Another person said that the keycards don't work either. Honestly, I don't really care if half of the unproven stuff is untrue. The $80 games were the first thing to piss me off.
