Welcome to Iwata's Nintendo. Dude, needs to go. And the fact of the matter is, they will continue to pull this shit because the sheep and apologist allow Nintendo to pull this shit.

Why cant nintendo just include the USB cable instead, not everyone has one, and an extra one will sure come in handy!

It isn't. But region locking and the fact that content is tied to the hardware instead of an account are two Nintendo things that drive me up the wall so, so much more.

It's a big deal if you don't realize that it doesn't come with an adapter. And I bet that fact is going to be fine print on the American packages.

It is if you sell millions of them.

Or you just buy one of those and you can charge it everywhere, no matter the country. That way I keep my 3DS charged on holidays, without being near an outlet (I have a 13000 mAh battery pack on me).

Devs' don't care about Vita, you say? I dare to respectfully disagree with you. For a fan of Japanese games, there is hardly a better system than the Vita.

No reason at all for them to release a fix to that years after.

$50 says this prevents the firmware flashing method that's been around for 5+ years

If the company can't afford a $10 tip on pizza, they aren't giving out raises or bonuses.

On the several occasions that I've paid with the company card, I always make a point to tip more than usual. It's not my money, so I don't lose much sleep.

Yeah, it's something like that. We didn't get them figured out, that's why we outsourced and got a german president(sort of) :)

Possible but unlikely.

I'm a veteran of military SOF and have done contracting for the U.S. govt for years. I can tell you, unequivocally, that this woman is full of shit. It's obvious by the pictures you guys put in the comments that she has never had ANY professional weapons training.

Tactical Dick Sock - BEST BAND NAME EVER!!!

Never go full NASCAR.

That kid is going to be a great leader for the human resistance someday

Does anybody think that she's really just a mail clerk or middle manager or some other type of paper pusher and made up all the spy stuff because she may have a mental disorder / delusions of grandeur? That's the first thing that I think of in these types of situations...

What thigh holster is that so i know not to buy it?

This is not true. I do it all the time to pull drywall dust out of the air when doing home renovations. It works just fine.
