Didn't the Xbox power cord get recalled cause sometimes it caught fire?
I'm pretty sure that's more lawsuit-protection/not setting fire to your customers houses than it is just 'being nice.'
I think Ian was only making the point that most companies don't let users downgrade software officially, stuff like the iPhone price-drop are pretty sketchy comparisons to make.
I agree with Ian, its good that Nintendo is supporting both those customers who want AAC and those who want MP3.
energyvortex: the iPhone price drop was a little over 2 months after it first went on sale, and the credit was for $100, not $200. Please get your facts straight before ranting on about fanboyism. :)
Technically, it was the Xbox power supply that could catch on fire. The modified power cord was sent out to help avoid the problem (it would turn off the current if the power supply acted up).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
If this is correct, then it's a miracle. It's nearly unheard of for ANY company to admit a mistake and accommodate its customers.
Nintendo apparently believes in serving its customer base, and I applaud it for enabling a reversion to Photo Channel 1.0.
Keep drinking the Nintendo Koolade...
"nearly unheard of for a company to admit a mistake" please...

I want a $200 coupon.
It was $100, and that was slightly...ok...completely different.
