Topic: Free Disney Infinity

So, today Eshop gets free Disney Infinity, but the base and figures sold separately. Anybody taking advantage of this, like using Ebay to get the base cheaply with figures?

That's a pretty clever and intresting move that could work well, are Xbone & PS4 getting the same?

as far as i can tell, just wii u

i don't think it's a good idea though. People will download the game and buy a cheap base and characters from ebay

Do they even sell the base separately?

Look up disney infinity replacement. cheapest i found was $10 for wiiu

Does anyone know that if you get CN coins for downloading this. I am not interest in the game at all but if I can get some CN coins out of this......

Most likely

I think it is a great idea 2.0 comes out in about a month which means people won't be buying 1.0 as much (plus all the money is in the figures) so people can buy 2.0 (with a portal then get some 1.0 playsets) and get free access to 1.0, just a extra push for people to jump in with 2.0

I actually like this approach more

I just recently bought it for only $30, and it's pretty cool, but clearly to get the most fun out of it you need more figures and discs. So they should really just make the game free to download and just have us worry about collecting the rest, because buying the starter set at it's original price of $75, plus buying individual figures for around $13 each and random discs at $5, the prices really get's high. I'd like it much more if I could just get the game for free then just buy everything else, cause in the end they'll still make lot's of money.

No strings attached?

This is great marketing, especially with version 2.0 coming out. If Disney makes profit, it will be from figure sales anyway.

I went to download it (purely for the Club Nintendo coins) and did not have enough memory on my Wii U's hard drive to do it.

I guess I could delete Super Mario 3D World and redownload later???

To me, even with the free download, its not worth it to go spend 30$ to get the extra required things to play (the base and 1 character) if it will only bring me a little enjoyment, especially with all the new games coming out soon.

I wonder how much I can sell just the disk for... do you guys think GameStop would take just the disk?

I wonder if Disney sid this as they see the coming Amiibo as a threat as Skylanders in the market leader and a Ninty version will appeal to people with a Ninty console so this is their way of getting a stronger foothold?

I think this is just a deal Nintendo made to try to convince people it is better on Wii U. I remember Nintendo saying something at E3 about how Wii U will be the best platform for all "Toys to Life" games. This could be part of that partnership

I couldn't find it in the European eShop, I have it on disc, but it would have been nice getting rid of the noise and maybe speed up loading a bit .

Do you still get Club nintendo coins for this?

I downloaded it last night and it gave me zero club nintendo coins.

It did, however, give me a link to register TMNT for 3DS....a game I've never bought nor indicated that I was intending to buy. sigh....wonky club nintendo.....
