I was gonna join but when I went to purchase a Wii Points card I discovered they have upped the prices by 30%+, thus I am now never planning to spend money on Nintendo downlaodable stuff again. I have a few points left but I'm saving them now for something biblical in gaming standards.


Not sure why I'm posting this, probably just to let people know that while I'm all for the christmas spirit I'm not joining because I'm not all for the being ripped off spirit.

You do know you can use a credit card and just buy it online for the regular price right?



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

I'll join the secret santa also. My wii code is 5011-3926-8487-2763 and I have all controllers except the balance board (classic controller, GCN controllers, nunchuck, etc). My region is USA.

I am pretty sure my list is current if not I'll update it in a day or two.

Games I really want - Street Fighter Alpha 2 - SNES and Final Fight 2 - SNES (sucks the first one is only 1 player). I know probably shouldn't list games (nor will the person even know)  but those games interest me the most.

 You both made it in with time to spare. Welcome!

 I'm pretty damned surprised by this news, especially since Nintendo's apparently trying to increase WiiWare sales. Are you sure it's not just your local retailer? I hope that's the case.

Anyhow, sorry to hear this. If you decide to use a credit card, or find a deal on Wii Points, we'd be happy to have you join. Either way, happy holidays, and see you around the forums!

Its proably just the retailer, I know the blockbuster I work at changes the prices of them around xmass from $19.99 and $24.99, though most other places iv looked charge $19.99. Or as someone else said try the credit card I think its $20 for 2000 points?

We'll continue in this thread. I'll also be PM-ing you the necessary info, so you don't even have to check in if you don't want to. Of course, if you want to say thanks to your (annonymous) Santa, share what you got, ask any question, etc., I'll be checking in daily.



Is it too late??
