Woah, you actually saw a 1000 point card? They're practically always sold out.

They're a Club Nintendo scheme. You get them when you buy Nintendo games, as well as some third-party games. Register the product on their website and you get Stars for it. You can use them to buy desktop wallpapers and such (and if you're very, very lucky (and fast), a game). You can also buy Wii Points for them, but the exchange rate (400 stars = 100 Wii points) is a rip-off.

They only run this scheme in Europe, so if you live in North America or Australia I'm afraid none of this applies to you.

I never heard of this, is there any other way of registering your product without that code? I have more games but don't have the codes as I didn't know what there were.

I believe that code is your only way of registering, maybe you could do it still if you had the receipt, I would go to www.nintendo.com and ask their support to see what they have to say.

Well, how many stars do you get fo one Nintendo game? (i.e. Mario kart)

250 stars normally - not even enough for 100 points

The amount of stars you get is unrelated to the game's cost. It's pretty much always 250 stars per game.

Correction. They opened it up to Aussies with the release of Mario Kart Wii, although the site isn't officially up yet (I don't think) But you're still able to register now.

^^ yeah that's true, but we have to wait for an email- or if you search the sight every day, there??...
But yeah. If that's what the sight is going to be, then in about 1/2 months(latest probly 4 months) we'll be able to trade some games for it
