2000 Awesome Wii points [Posted on 2008-11-03] Great deal on this, since the points are usually 100 points per dollar. And playing Mario 3 and the original Zelda 1 and Zelda 2 on a big flat screen TV is totally worth the 500 points (about 5 bucks).
Just a card [Posted on 2008-12-16] Amazon sent me a politely automated email asking me to review my recent purchase. So here I am.
The purchase in question: I bought three Wii Point cards at $18.96 each. My order total came to $6.88 thanks to free shipping and an Amazon gift certificate my bank so generously offered me. (Thanks, guys! You're the bestest.)
I rated this "game" a 5 overall, and a 3 for fun. It's just a card. It does exactly what it needs to do (5/5) but how much fun you get out of it depends entirely on how you use it (3/5). There's some real stinkers among the Virtual Console and WiiWare games you can buy with these points and some real gems. Fortunately, there's plenty of gaming websites to help guide you in your selection.
I see that the cards have risen in price to $24.99 each. I have a sneaking suspicion the price will drop after Christmas. Unless you need a Wii Point card *right now*, I'd wait for the price drop, or try to buy from another venue such as EB Games, Best Buy, Circuit City, Sears, etc.
Not really necessary if you already own a Wii. [Posted on 2008-12-21] I bought this card from Amazon below the retail price of $20. But I don't understand why it is now over 20 dollars. If you already own a Wii, you don't need to buy this card. You can purchase Wii points through your Wii console by using the shopping channel. The only time I would recommend buying this online is if the price is below $20, if it is above that, DO NOT buy it. Using your Wii console, you'll never pay more than $20 for 2000 points.
This is not a bargain [Posted on 2008-12-29] At $24.99, Amazon is over charging by $4.99. At $19.99, you are saving a penny on the actual value of the card. The only reason I could see for not buying direct from Nintendo on the the WII shopping channel is not having a credit card. There it's sold value for value.
Points Card for Nephew [Posted on 2009-01-06] From what I understand my nephew loves his WII. This points card is what he asked for so I'm assuming he's in heaven.
