Rumor: Photographs of Production Nintendo 3DS Fresh Off the Assembly Line
by Garnett Lee, Jan 03, 2011 10:15am PSTWith a planned February 26 launch date for Japan looming, Nintendo's 3DS must be starting to roll off assembly lines. Chinese video game site TGBUS posted a series of very believable images it claims are of a fresh from the factory 3DS, smuggled out by a intrepid worker and posted to the forums (as spotted by Engadget). Click on one of the thumbnails below to see the whole group of them. There's also a video on YouTube (for the time being at least).


The pics include a number of comparison shots with the supposed 3DS stacked up next to its GameBoy predecessors. Along with size, these shots also give a first hint at the finish of the materials used for the handheld. Another image shows the boot screen listing the SDK as version 0.13.2 and memory of 96MB.
The 3DS will run ¥25,000 when it hits in Japan. Pricing and launch timing have for Europe and North America have not been announced but we expect to hear those details later this month.

While the breaking and entering in your example represents more than just theft (a personal violation of safety and privacy), the actual theft is in no way better or worse than stealing from the workplace.
Furthermore, in the example that we are looking at here, in which the stolen item is unreleased and exposed to a public forum, the person is not only stealing the item, but the potential profits that may be lost due to bad PR, information revealed to competition, etc etc.
Stealing = bad. You are not Robin Hood.
