There are many theorys as to why they would do such a horrible thing:

1. They don't want you futzing around inside and breaking the system and calling them to fix it.

2. A demon crawled out of a toilet in the Nintendo office and crawled up the butt of the guy in charge of the screws, possessing him to make such an awful, awful screw that he later killed himself for it.

Which one is it? Probably both.....

I once again ask the same question. does anyone know how to open it, like what screwdriver to use? Or should I just ask some guy named wally at home depot? :(
Gamecube is underestimated and playstation 2 should help kill xbox, allowing Nintendo to steal Halo and make it VR on the Revolution. Can you handle a virtual flood army?
