I know why you'd do this: To get more DDP cash!

And to help put moolah in Ninty's pocket so they can market these games properly.

You'd still get that DDP cash if you didn't buy the game until Dec. 31. Without a feature that automatically downloads the game to your console, it's a bit useless. But hey, it's progress. We're getting somewhere one step at a time.

It does give you some more flexibility in *when* you have your DDP cash too. That way you can take advantage of sales that may occur in the meanwhile before release.

If you preordered the MK8 DLC -- you'll see that you earned points towards the DDP for that transaction.
