wii points in the stars catalogue

[importaku]

The only thing you seem to get by linking your japanese club nintendo account to a japanese wii is it gives you bonus club points when you fill out questionnaires for the virtual console stuff.

[stainboy]

I take it you won't be able to link your EU account to a US console?

[Paradigm]

It's not guranteed or anything to be in 2nd hand game boxes anyway.

It's still theft.

[IanE]

So you're saying there's nothing wrong in taking something from a paying customer?

He's taking nothing from a paying customer, I used to take the codes at Gamestation too from second hand games, nine times out of ten they were in there, hardly anyone uses them.

It's still theft.

When the game is traded in, all is required for the full value is the manual, case, cover and disc, nothing more. So no, it isn't theft in a basic sense, a lot of shops throw away the extra stuff too.

I used to take them out of second hand Nintendo games too, 9 out of 10 people dont even bother using them and just chuck em away.

Sod ya, buy new games if you want points There's no guarantee for those points in second hand games and especially if there's someone who works around them who knows what they do

[cutmymilk]

A Game store near me used to throw everything away for NEW games except for disc, manual and case. hich is why you should only buy sealed, kids!

id like to know this too. ive got 8k points i could use

[Psyduck]

I've a PAL console, how do I "link" it? Is it just registered the points? Or is it unavailable yet? Or am I just stupid and blind?

Im fairly sure it asks you the first time you connect to the Shopping Channel.

Just noticed on the Nintendo 24:7 site > My Stars details that I will soon recieve stars for downloaded VC content. Say 'Thank you for downloading 'Sonic The Hedgehog' You will soon be able to claim your stars here.'

Says this for both Sonic and Super Star Soldier under 'Products downloaded to date, but it's missing Mario 64 (which I got first) and Alien Crush (which I got before Sonic). hmm

[Jay]

Hmm great. So you get stars for spending wii points rather than the other way round? Oh goody, I'd really like to buy some wallpaper and polyphonic ringtones.

[hudson]

i believe will be able to purchase wii points in the stars catalogue soon

What are you on about, in a 'basic sense'? You're talking absolute nonsense. The only way to get those codes is to buy a game. It does not matter how the company values the game, you are still taking something without paying for it to the detriment of the paying customer who may well want to use it. It's theft and you haven't got the bollocks to admit it.

[Benji]

Im still pissed my copy of smash bros didn't come with a card. It was unsealed too, i despise buying them unsealed. It's just annoying

[FelixofMars]

I don't see anything wrong, the original person to purchace them didn't want them. I know through friends that GAME employees typical stick points on their own cards that the customer doesn't want. This is really no different. WHO ACTUALLY CARES ENOUGH!
