Nintendo 3DS Five-year-old Brandon Giles must have been excited to receive a Nintendo 3DS for Christmas at least, he was until he turned it on. According to 9News, Giles father bought a refurbished 3DS from GameStop (GME) in Colorado for his son. However, when his son turned it on and started poking around, he found nine pornographic images of two people in a bed and asked his brother to help him erase them. That s when the father gave GameStop a call. GameStop s response was that the images were most likely left over from its previous owner and an employee failed to properly wipe out the data on the 3DS before re-stocking it. We have a rigorous quality control process in place to ensure that existing content is removed from all devices before they are re-sold, GameStop said in a statement issued from its corporate office. Out of millions of transactions each year, ones like this happen very rarely. Our number one priority is to make this right for our customer.

The bigger question many people are asking is, why would anyone take pornographic photos with the 3DS s terrible low-res cameras? We may never know the answer.
