I've bought things early from major retailers before retailers, back in the days before they locked down their register systems preventing it.
I tried to buy PS4 Pro early when it was on store shelves and got denied.
People got shipped the Vita and PS4 early in Canada.
In many of these situations, people posted about it when they got item ___ early, and I would be no different.
The only difference here is how the item was obtained. The OP knew it wasn't right, which is why he posted that it was shipped to him early. It was stolen goods which he decided to buy. He tried to sell it, that failed. He tried to show it off, perhaps to be able to sell it after. It caught Nintendo's attn. He paid the price, thieves got caught.
I am happy to learn information Nintendo should have disclosed in the first place that were brought to light through Hiphop, I'm happy thieves were caught.
I do not stand with Hiphop. If he bought it through legit channels, I would stand with him.
