I wish a goth target employee would lock me in the switch cage.
ooh me next
What is the point of this article? Stores receive stock early so they can have it on launch day. They’re showing them in a secure manner to start garnering hype in advance.
I don’t shop at Target.
Thank you for this useful piece of information.
I agree. It’s nice to see people publicizing our effort to hold companies accountable for their support of fascism.
Welllll the tagline does say “If you have a pair of wirecutters and can move fast, you might be able to get a Switch 2 early”
Soooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Apparently they require a day 1 update anyway
Let’s assume you stole the Switch 2 early. To get this update, you’d be connecting it to the Internet. Nintendo has not only recently updated their TOS to state they can brick your console if they suspect you of pirating, but console manufacturers have been known to ban accounts
brickand or flag devices if they get connected before official launch. What will stop them from doing that immediately if you connect online before it’s release date? I’m sure they already know which serial numbers are green lit for people with early access and which aren’t. You won’t be worrying about a day 1 update because you probably won’t receive it, and you’ll be locked to whatever game you’re able to steal with it as long as it works offline.Your best option is try to flip it immediately to some other schmuck and hope wherever you post it doesn’t alert authorities to you or just get removed for being clearly stolen.
“but console manufacturers have been known to brick or flag devices if they get connected before official launch.”
Big citation needed on that. There’s zero need for console manufacturers to do that when they can simply hold down the servers on their end until release date anyways, Never once heard of a device bricked simply because you received it early and tried using it.
I might’ve unintentionally over exaggerated what I meant, edited my comment. I meant bricking as in how Xbox would ban your console for cheating or modding them forcing it as an offline only system, not making them a paperweight. That’s my bad
Appreciate you bro.
Well, do you lift?
Where do you shop, king?
Places that don’t end their DEI programs.
Sounds like insurance fraud to me. They keep the fucking shampoo under tighter lockdown. They’re low-key encouraging somebody to steal these.
Don’t attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
Attribute to malice that which comes from a malicious source. This is Target we’re talking about.
Hanlon’s razor is unreasonably optimistic, imo.
Are you supposed to steal the whole cage?
Yeah. I mean, they even put wheels on it.
