If it would effect illigal copies yes, but here in the Netherlands I am allowed to make back up copies and play them, also I should be able to play my homemade 3DS games, without big N shutting down my system. This cant hold up in court here. Also, I already have one :D my local supplier sells when its in stock, so I own a 3DS 16 days before launch, unfortunately there are no games yet. but the camera and the AR cards are nice demonstration features. Another thing thats useless here in NL, the system is full with in-system licence agreements you need to agree to, for online use and the this-update-might-break-your-system-if-you-modded-it-so-dont-blame-us thing. None of these have any legal value here, since lincence agreements forced upon users after purchase hold no value here, unless its on the outside of the box... and it isn't, I checked. Anyway I'm free to do what I want with it, its my system, and the agreements Nintendo forced upon me after my purchase have no value in the Netherlands. @Brian, sounds good?

Have always supported developers/ publishers by trying to buy new whenever possible, and do my best to avoid giving Gamestop my monies. I'm just concerned that the 3rd party perephrial market might dry up which would ultimately harm the 3DS Sounds good!
