$10 times 60 million potential users = 600 million dollars spent

600 million - (# of people who won't use it X 10) = ???

I vote no.  Go spend the $10 cheapos.

It would be nice. But I think demos would be much better in the long run.

I only hope for more demos but 1000 free points would been very nice.

o.O How do you figure it would cost them anything?  All they need to do is write a bout of code that sends out the points when someone logs onto the Shop channel.

It won't happen, though.  I voted C.

Who needs who wiiware points? We have the vgchartz secret santa event!!!

I voted yes, If I recall Nintendo gave everyone Super Mario Bros (NES) for Christmas back in 07 didn't they? Why didn't they give us a Christmas gift last year? Here's hoping they give us a Christmas gift again this year 1000 points would be nice but I'd settle for anything really. Just show customers Nintendo cares more about us then Sony , Microsoft do. Give us something free when they won't.

kinda what Joelcool7 said, by giving us something like that, Nintendo would distinguish itself from the competition. I really don't care about the 10$, but I would get a warm fuzzy feeling inside if they did that. mmmmmmm....fuzzy

Freebies are good for generating good will, but in this case I'd say no. Maybe something smaller, they wouldn't want to create a tradition that people expect them to follow through with every year.

Refunding points for the internet channel (and making that free) was a good freebie.

(from a consumer perspective, I'd of course say yes, but that's redundant, what else would you possibly say from a consumer perspective?)
