^My nearest blockbuster doesn't rent out Wii games yet for some reason... but when they do I shall check, I doubt they will leave the slip in though.

And I didn't post it as new news, I made the thread saying I had finally exchanged all my stars for Wii points... it takes a while when they sell out so fast.

Well I think they work in Australia, not sure.

whenever you buy a Nintendo game over there do you get a slip of paper in the game case which has a scratch off panel?
If so then you can join Club Nintendo (go to www.ninendo.co.uk) and give these codes to add stars to your account.

That feature has been around since the Gamecube was launched, but the only things the stars were useful for was to get nintendo wallpapers for your desktop, or if you had an insane amount of stars you might be able to get a t-shirt.

Now though you can link the account to your Wii points account, and buy Wii poins with the stars, which involves being on the site at the right time (which is probably mid morning for Aussies) then you get a code given similar to that on a normal store bought Wii points card.. enter that into the shop channel and voila.

The annoying thing is I had a GameCube and 14 games which I think all had these slips in, but due to the lack of proper incentive I threw them all away... so many stars lost.

No in Australia we get nothing like what you described. Nintendo Australia like advertising Wii Sports instead.

So why did they call it the 360?because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away- some guy on Gamespot

Kinda old, I remember this stuff mentioned last year. Listen, all you have to do is go RENT the game from blockbuster or whatever you guys call it there. Take the little slip behind the manual which hold the key that you can type into Nintendo.com and get points (stars) whatever. I'm not sure its going to work over there since they might not give you guys the manual when you rent your games but it worked for me. I became a sage by registering like 7 games over the course of 1 week. Just return the game the next day saying its damaged and they will give you a different game of your choice.

Each code can only be used once it is on a slip lose in the case and you have to scratch of a silver foil to read it once it's entered it adds it to your game collection and the code can't be re-used. If you could everpne would just use all there mates codes.

Do you know if you can register GC games now? because of course I have a s**t load of GC games with them not having been registered.

Yes, you can register any code, doesn't matter when you bought it... I only added mine after Christmas but I found a slip in Chibi Robo which I bought about a month after it's launch (2005 I think)

Shame you don't get it in Australia, I am sure I remember someone saying they had bought games in Aus and wanted to know if they could be added to the UK site.
