Oh I get the deleted points issue and agree,
But buying 5 or 6 full price games to get 5 or 6 full price games is a good deal. Especially as Nintendo price their games much cheaper than the other 2 with a typical RRP £20 to £35
Then on top of a that they then give you Super Mario Bros 1 or Super Mario Bros 3 is a good deal, and it's churlish to think otherwise.
A way around the deleted points thing, is to not register them until you've enough to buy something.
Which would be super except they only just changed the terms.
Also, no, it's not "churlish" to expect a promotion they advertised to be worth something, especially when the deletion follows 5 years of charging a game worth of points for a fucking wallpaper. Then they announced you could swap the stars for points, clearly implying a 1:1 connection, then 6 months later changed their mind. Then they artifically ran themselves out of a non-physical good constantly, THEN changed the rules to allow them to suddenly delete points you could never use because the fucking stuff was never "in stock".
It is NOT churlish to be pissed off with them for that.
Bullshit did they imply a 1:1 ratio. From the very start they kept talking about how they hadn't settled on a conversion rate yet. Over on PA pages and pages filled with people debating what the ratio should be.
I totally agree on the deleting points thing (though they did give you plenty of time to get rid of you points - I got rid of my 5000 odd with plenty of time to spare.
Put a finite amount of an digital good up is also cuntish, but I still can't see how people can criticise this step, when it means pointless points for jpegs now can be exchanged for games.
