I got 99, strange.
I have a friend who works retail that gets 10% off for employee discounts (which I use for eShop cards). A $60 dollar game comes out to $48 for me if I buy it digitally. If I buy it retail, it comes out to around $65 with tax included. I am purchasing all new releases that I want day 1 digitally unless there's a day 1 sale that drops it below the digital price. Otherwise, I would wait till retail prices bomb and buy them then.

Well, it's some kind of stupid shit they are pulling in Sweden. It says that the game was 84,03 SEK when it's really 100SEK. I don't know what they are doing. Bergsala being Bergsala I guess.

I'm conflicted. I would like to go all digital to take full advantage of this, but I can't help but feel paranoid about the account situation.
Yeah, that's what I meant. I think it's rather bothersome that it isn't strictly 500, like I'm getting 498 so I'm unable to use it until I buy something else.

You got $5 dollars back and 600 points, right?

Your points total must be over 1,000 and a prime number.
But I'd suggest just carrying on buying things as normal, no point filling up the gap with things you weren't going to buy, even if that's the secret intent of this scheme.

Nope. They've hinted towards it, but nothing has been officially announced yet.
Same. I'll buy any download-only game I want, but I want to hold off on full digital with Nintendo, unless the game makes a ton of sense to have on the system, as in, I could see myself playing it a little here and there for a long time. For now, full retail games I'm buying boxed. If Nintendo ever allows account transfers, though, I'll go full digital.
The game gave me 599 points ($59.99 game price). I redeemed 500 of them for a $5 certificate and now have 99 points left.

I think it's time to pull the trigger on Zombi U.

just so that I'm clear, once I buy a game through the eShop, I'll be able to log in? does it matter what I buy?

It shouldn't matter what you buy.

any of these $10-$15 games worth picking up? Chasing Aurora? Mighty Switch Force? Little Inferno? Nano Assault?

MSF, yes. Little Inferno, yes. Can't comment on the other 2 because I do not have them.

Might pick up sonic racing. Is it any good? $30 doesn't sound too bad for it.
Little Inferno I loved. You just have to really enjoy story and atmosphere in games.

Weird... I half expected it would be $50 or $60.

Isn't it $39.99 at retail? Amazon has it for $39.95.
Trine 2 is definitely worth it if you haven't played it already.
bumpkin

It is. I just meant in general, I'm surprised that it's priced so low.
Jaded Alyx

It's $19.99..as far as I'm aware.

Went with the shooter because...I like shooters.

Is Nintendo ripping me off 9 cents/ 1point???
Each one of my purchases have ended in .99, but Nintendo rounds DOWN!!!! WTF
$19.99 -> 199 points instead of 199.9 or 200 points

Here in the Netherlands there's 19% tax included with the price, they don't count that so I got 84 points for it as well. 8.40 x 1.19 = about 10.
So this discount thing is going to be one of the things standing in the way of portable accounts huh? Does it just see what type of console your account was created on gives yo the discount based on that? I suppose they could make sure only one account on a console could do it.
that baffeld me too! how is 8.39 = 83 and not 84?!
Nintendo, go back to school!
Yeah, it's an obnoxious move on their part. I guess the idea may be you buy some DD-exclusive games to plug up the hole, or something.
I got one code thanks to Little Inferno + Sonic All Stars, and got Mighty Switch Force.

Yeah, this will only ever be used fro e-shop games by me.
Even if I throw in the 8% discount, it's still £5 cheaper to just buy Tekken Tag 2 from Amazon - and it'll probably be £15 cheaper in a couple of months.

Is anyone else with a long password having trouble signing in?
My password is 18 characters. It accepted it fine on the Wii U but I can't log in to the DDP site, gives a generic password failed error. I suspect that it is because the password is too long, but I'm not positive.
I'm at work so I can't play around with the password on my Wii U at the moment.

Good point. I should be strong and wait for pikmin 3
Can you used these on 3DS eshop too? In which case I can be a bit less strong and just wait for picross-e 2

I thought about that at first, and that's probably it, but I don't know where they are getting 19% from. I guess I should be happy that they didn't go with 25%, which is our actual tax.
