Nintendo Wii & wii points
By: M.L.Pratt | Posted: 05th July 2008
Wii Points is a payment system that Nintendo uses for its Wii game console via the Wii Shop Channel. You can buy points via online credit-card transactions or by purchasing a Wii Points card directly at stores. These points are then redeemed in the Wii Shop on downloadable games and other cool wii content.
Instead of taking real money, Nintendo wants you to buy these points to use in their Wii Shop to buy classic games to play on your Wii game console. It's a pretty straight forward process: scrape off the silver area on the back of the card and enter the code to add Wii points to your Wii account, simple right.
The card itself is just flimsy plastic not like any normal plastic credit card you may have, but, so what, that doesn't affect much at all. The wii points system is quick and easy, which is the whole point of the points card. Just make sure you're not paying, at most, $20 for the card, not including tax, because some stores charge more than the MSRP, gee what a surprise.
Buying game gifts can be difficult. It turns out kids are particular about which brand controllers, and games they want, whoa, what a surprise, right. That is exactly why gift cards are so popular now. The Wii points card fit right in, and allows the purchase of downloadable games. As an example, almost every Nintendo wii game may be purchased online using the Wii console and the Wii Points Card. Nice and neat.
Alrighty then, for those who are curious about whether it is possible to get free Wii points, good news, because you can as long as you put in a little effort. There are a few online sites that do pay out in Wii points but you will have to open an account with them and then answer surveys, your reward, a certain number of Wii points. The trick of course lies in collecting sufficient amount of Nintendo Wii points after which you can shop for whatever cool wii gadgets you want.
