    I see the Nintendo President is worried about WHEN, not if the R4 boys will hack there new 3DS handheld console released sometime in March 2011. There's rumors of a similar firmware update system like what Sony use on the PSP and PS3! What do you think, will it work or another annoying waste of time!:rolleyes:

    I can see it being secure for a short time, and after that, no. In fairness to Nintendo, the unit probably wont break the bank, but the other side of the coin, is that it will be a less secure system. If they operate a cyclic firmware system (psp etc), expect a custom firmware in the not too distant future. Its a shame really, those DS cards are WAY too mainstream and it really annoys me seeing them on stalls full of games for stupid money.

    Well if all handheld games were 20quid max, more people would buy them. 45 quid for a DS game, when for the same amount you can get a XB360 or PS3 game?????
