I'll be e-mailing Santa numbers today, along with an updated procedure (which should greatly reduce problems, with any luck).

What about Mii? It isn't fair! I paid my dues now I want my share. Can't you see, I wanna live. But you just take more than you give.



Tease.

"Don't blame me. Blame yourself or God."

Or the lack of Australians and New Zealanders in this round. Sorry Squilliam, but unless you're willing to lose some Wii Points changing your country settings to a European country, there's nothing I can do.

I didn't lose any changing from NZ to Australia. Aren't the points identical everywhere? 1000 points cost me $18, so shouldn't they cost like $10 U.S for the same quantity?

 



Tease.

Cool beans... got my codes.

I'll add them in tonight after my girlfriend is done watchign Delovely on PS3.

Really Noname a final fantasy tactics quote? (Or is that more famous and they ripped it.)

From what I've heard, Australia -> New Zealand is fine, but transferring from either of those countries to Europe makes you lose your Wii points for whatever reason (and vice-versa). To the best of my knowledge, that is the only time you'll lose Wii Points by changing your country settings. I won't pretend to understand the logic behind that, mind you, but that's the stance Nintendo's taken.

Of course, it's possible that my information is wrong, but I don't want to risk you losing any points. And you can't just buy points after switching, since you transfer to a European country, your credit card will have trouble working (we've had a few other users encounter such a problem). But perhaps Wii Points cards will work...? I'm unsure. Let me poke around a bit.

 

@kasz: I like Final Fantasy Tactics, even with the horrifically bad translation.

Yeah... it's ok.

I just thought it was a strange quote i wouldn't expect anyone to get.

I mean I wouldn't of got it... except i was playing it last week.

Monsters are kinda useless... but i like havign them.  Just wish you could get them to stop laying eggs.



@Noname, im happy to sit this one out.

Once again, Nintendo has proved themselves to be an evil corporation - more interested in money than the Christmas spirit!



Tease.

Fixed.

Sadly...



Well my names are entered. So do i have to be online when they enter my name too? I'll leave my Wii online whenever i can if that's the case.
