I think it's dumb that you can buy 10, 20, 30, and 50 dollar amounts of points online on the Wii, but they don't cut you any kind of break for buying larger amounts. You get 1000 for $10, and 5000 for $50. Why not give people a reason to buy a large amount and give them, say, 5500 points for $50?

 

Just received the following email (in three languages no less).

Also, I can check my order status page and see the replacement straps and that they shipped on the 28th.

 

I got a shipping notice for my straps earlier this week.

EDIT

For when I put in the serial number I was supposed to put in that last number inside the little square right?

/\ That is slick as hell.

 

<-- Will be getting the above, also, how do you apply for the thicker straps, are they free?

 

I got my shipment two weeks ago.

They're free as long as you're a Wii owner.

I got all four of my straps. I won't put them on until the ones I have on there snap... if that ever happens. Tempting fate? Perhaps.

 

Wow. Nintendo has sold 4 million Wii's a little under two months?!?!?!?

wow, I'm psyched for Nintendo. The system needs to keep on bringing the hits though. Metroid Prime should be a nice surge. Smash Brothers will be crazy though.....

 

My Wii straps came in the mail yesterday. I was really starting to get worried because I never got a confirmation e-mail from them or saw it on my order page. It all worked out in the end though.

 

Koei confirms new name, region for Samurai Warriors spin-off Sengoku Musou Wave.

 

One more thing, does anyone else have the 'News Channel' working, I've updated mine to the most current update, but still it doesnt work.
