Oh look, someone who knows what they're talking about is actually here. Go ahead, turn off a device during a firmware update on anything that isn't a high end motherboard specifically designed to deal with a corrupt firmware, see what happens. The only reason you're saved with a dual BIOS is because there's a backup, dual BIOS is not common and is not necessary for someone who isn't an idiot.
Why is it released in this state? You realize these were built months ago? Everything needs an update when you first get it going. I'm not saying Nintendo had a great idea here, they are pretty new with the whole open internet thing. They should have broken it up, but that may not be possible depending on the update. Good luck finding a console or any product really that doesn't have starter issues. Don't buy the console in the first few months and you'll be rewarded for your patience. As far as N goes, they are a Japanese company and tend to make up for their mistakes. I'm sure they'll suck up the cost of bricked systems. Sony on the other hand would blame the stupid consumer for not following directions then cry their way to bankruptcy.
