A friend of mine tipped me off earlier today that the local Wal-Mart was selling, get this, DISCOUNTED Wii Points cards. So I said, What??? So, like, they mark
off a couple bucks and they make up for it with the tax right? Ok, really, you can't discount things like online game points cards; not Microsoft points,
not Wii points, none of them! I mean, 1000 pts ≡ $10. Simple.
Bemused, I travel the 10 minutes to Wal-Mart, buy a hot dog, eat it, and wander around. I nonchalantly meander over to the video games section... Ok, ok,
I'm really drawing out this overly simple story, I know, but... I look at the Wii accessories "wall." There's tons of crap all over it, you
know, the classic controller "grip," the big fat 3rd party Wii-mote sleeves, the dumb things. In the middle, Wii points. $19.87! I literally laughed
out loud, THAT'S THE DISCOUNT?!? I just about fell over laughing. Yep.
...Nope. On the floor, THE FLOOR, are these three boxes with those crappy Classic Controller silicone sleeve-things... and a 2000 Wii Points card. Well, hmm, I
thought, how interesting. Now, logically, if you pack an extra thing or something into a box with your product, either you're packing it in for free, or
you raise the price, right? ...RIGHT?? I think you know where this is going. I did, too. I take all three over to those customer-use product scanners and
scanned one. I had to scan the other two to make sure it wasn't a malfunction. I scanned them each, twice. There was no malfunction. Are you freaking ready
for this? Are you?
Exact Price:
$7.00.
Now, I am in possession of 6000 of the cheapest, legally obtained Wii Points ever. I paid $21, the same amount 2000 points cost anywhere else.
So I now ask you all, people of MoFo: What would you do with 6000 extra (or really, 4000 free) Wii Pts? Which games would you buy that you stepped back from
because it just wasn't as highly recommended as Lost Winds, or Super Mario Bros. 3? Or maybe something more creative than buying games perhaps? What, I
ask, would you do if you found 6000 Wii points?

Actually this has been known for months. Those bundles were originally for Christmas... and since they are seasonal items, some stores have discounted them. Stupid move for them. I picked up a classic controller for $10 
Also, looks like Super Mario RPG should be hitting the US VC sometime in the next few weeks.
Yeah, I had a fun day learning that anyway. I thought it was a funny story. I mean $7, jeez. Still, though, any suggestions for spending 6000 points? Is that idea that SMRPG is on the way credible? Because I REALLY want that game.
Hold on...so you got how many points for $7? I got lost in that story[good job dragging it out! lol]. Anywho...6000...wow, that's alot. I'd suggst you get the DKCs. Or if you're looking for something you've never played...hmm, I coulsn't tell you man. Save them up. If SMRPG really is coming, 1. It's no doubt a must have and 2. I'm fairly positive they may jack up the price a bit. Possibly. And whatbout Earthbound...rumors are circulating. Sorry I couldn't be of more help man. =/
Is this thing still going? I can bike down to Walmart and repopulate my VC list on the American Wii for like, super discount. That is amazing.
Trying to tell you what to buy with your Wii Points is a bit redundant without us knowing what games you enjoy, what consoles you had growing up, wether you want stuff you played or never played etc.
But Wiiware titles are springing up at the mo, I hear good things about My Life as King (FFCC) and Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People.
But, mostly VC is just games which you should already know if you want. Except Sin and Punishment, which was never released in US/EU.
It is one of those Your Manager May Very deals... Walmart A might have the cards for $7 while Walmart B, which is 5 miles away, is still charging $19.99 for them. One of the local walmarts also had the Wiimotes for $30 that were in these 'holiday' packs.
If I get a car soon, I can check the local walmarts here @ Craig. I'd be willing to purchase some here (if I can find them and you can't) and then give you the code through email or something like that. That said atm I am car less ( = accident)... but I will have to get something in the next week as school starts 8O. so yeaaaaaaah
and for all those wondering, this is what the packages look like...
Thank you so very much, Boston. You are a gentleman and a scholar. I'll be checking in the near future
