That 300 feet thing is a straight up lie. Back in the day it was maximum of 50 feet for pictograph and games, also how the fuck is a molester supposed to 'WRITE' (Not type) a message when they are driving a vehicle. Ohhh this really russled my jim jims.
Now that's interesting, but scary. Good thing I'm old and'll probably not be affected
Gaming Gurus, such as President of Nintendo of America, predict that the DS is going to be a smash hit!

i like the part where he was like i was asking them questions and they were answering, address and all now they already met me but that's irrelevant
The thing is, back then you had to be in pictochat to get any messages, not like you'd get notifications or anything, it wasn't really much of a service there wasn't a lot you could do except draw dicks and say fuck you to each other and back and also the feet thing is incorrect, i could barely manage to pictochat my brother from the loungeroom to my bedroom which wasn't that far away
Who cares about child molesters when it has lots of graphics
You know what I just realised, It really looks like at 1:55 (when the girl is saying the address out loud) that the stylus isn't even touch the DS screen. From the angle and just a carefully looking at it. It just looks like she's holding the stylus really close to the screen. I think I one point you can even see the stylus fully. Oh well, that's acting for the news for you I suppose.
Good god....and with streetpass not only can I find out who has a 3ds......but where they live to!
That is to silly, oh god. Following that logic, kids shouldn't be able to communicate with anyone they don't know at all because OH GOD IT MIGHT BE A MOLESTER Tune in to next weeks episode to see: "Phones: Tool of Convenience or Molesters Heaven?!"
Lots of graphics.
This is the worst news story ever.
Did anyone even use pictochat? I sure didn't. But those pedophiles that were trying to get me were using it. I was smart and did not give in to stranger danger.
Thank you fox, I now know that every online/wireless connecting device I own will end up with me being molested Time to convert to the amish society
Didn't nintendo specially include the friendcode system that was a hassle to everybody to prevent that?
This isn't the first time the media made extreme claims about child safety in a relatively harmless online game/console. [video=youtube;5xAK-X0RA5o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xAK-X0RA5o[/video] They accused Tortimer of pedophilia, for fuck's sake and they never even mention the fact that the child molester would need to exchange friend codes with the child somewhere else to gain access to their town. Also, forgive the video title. It's the only one I could find.
