For any fans who have signed up to the VIP 24/7 things on nintendo.co.uk can now buy Wii Points cards in the stars catalogue with the now obselete stars which you have saved up.

Head over there now to get yours. They'll last a while, but there's a limited amount, so head over there quick and grab yours.

I personally have always been a Nintendo fan but seem to have gone off consoles for the moment and am playing more games on my PC, so I don't have a Wii and am not actually interested, but I still use the site, checking back to see if the catalogue has been updated with anything worthwhile.

So, just to let you know, you can buy Wii Points with you old stars if you have saved up enough.

That is all.

Apparently they may start offering game downloads with different games so buy Smash brothers and get the first free or something like that.

Exactly, so 2 game purchases of £30-£40 equals a NES game...

Not really, you get what 250 stars for every game you buy?

Now that really is ridiculous.

Out of interest how much were they going for (i.e something like 5 points for a wii point?)

Presumably you can't get anything for stars points any more?

I gave up registering them, and probably have quite a lot lying around, but I'd guess that they're probably worthless, unless I take a wii.

Yeah it was a test, so you need to go to the contacts page on the site and email NOE if you accidentally purchased them with your stars for 789.

Oh well, everyone jumps in at the first sign of points, even though it looks dodgy, then there's a message asking to emal Nintendo for your stars back if you clicked on it.

Looks like it was a test, not meant to go live.
