Father finds porn on his son's Christmas 3DS

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

The policy for reformatting of idevices had changed about a month previous to that ipod going through the centre, and management had decided that since formatting took too long, it would be quicker to just delete everything instead.

Bwah?

Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings is too long? You hit that button and walk away. When it's done it's a blank iDevice. No files, no settings...just as if it was fresh from the Box.

Considering how much of a pain in the ass it is to delete something from an iDevice...nope...just can't wrap my head around that.

The father should have gotten his five year old Play Doh instead; can't find much porn there.

(tho I'm certain that someone's tried. O_o)

Fail on both sides I think. Game Stop didn't reformat the system as was their policy, and father should have double checked, and could have quietly gotten it resolved without bringing too much attention to the issue.

o boy.

at my last job we started tackling that one hard. not GS but another tech store. we started a policy of double and triple checking reformats.... every day we had to pick FIVE items to check to see if the original reformat was done properly.
