Topic: cheapest wii point in uk

Hi,

I know this has probably been done 1000 times but thought i would throw out a request

where is the cheapest place to buy uk wii points either on line or in store

thx guys .........................still no wizball this week !!!!

Yeah, we're not exactly expecting Wizball this month since we're during a Hanabi Festival. And as for Wii Points, if you take into account travelling costs to the store (or shipping costs if you buy them from an online store), it would probably work out cheaper to just buy them straight from the WiiShop. I had store credit last year at GameStation and wanted to get Wii Points with them but the place repeatedly didn't get them in every time I went. I eventually managed to get some though. Now I just buy from the shop as and when I need them - much less hassle and yeah, it probably does work out cheaper overall for me.

Online in the Shop is cheapest by far; online via Tesco in the past has been the best price for cards, though both of these require you to possess a credit card.

I'd like to find somewhere cos paying £20 instead of £15 really really annoys me (thanks DSi). They had a stash of Wii points at my local Game, now they've run out it's stinky Nintendo points, pfft.

Whats so stinky about Nintendo points?

and why don't you buy on the WiiShop? You don't need a credit card, a simple Visa Electron, probably the most common of all cards works just fine.

They are more expensive and now a 1000 point game costs a tenner instead of £7.50.

I'm old fashioned, the less places I use a card the better. Plus I like popping into town and having a mooch about.

Its up to you. I prefer to wait until something gets released and then buy the points - if I have no points to buy anything and something comes out one Thursday night at 11pm then I'll get the points there and then. Plus I don't always have the oppurtunity to go buy points from a actual shop.

I'm with Bass XO; the big negative is the easy instant gratification means I'm less likely to hold back on making a purchase: "It's only £7.50!" Several thousand points later...whoah!

Exactly, I don't want to make buying games that easy, I'm not to be trusted.
