4 stars to 1 Wii point is steep, but when the stars cost nothing in the first place, I don't care.
Besides I live in the UK. Nintendo doesn't give a shit about europe. We always get our games last and they're always stupidly expensive here. So I think I deserve it.
BULL SHIT!!!!
What are you talking about?

Screw you I don't have to justify myself to you. The star points cards are free in the box anyway. So what exactly am I stealing? These are all out of pre-owned boxes, if the people wanted em they should've taken them out and used em when they had the game themselves.
You're just jealous you didn't think of it yourself.
Whichever, yet another reason I don't utilize the services of those shitty stores.
I wouldn't ever work for a GameStop/equivalent type of store.
The last time I was there I get the rhetoric about how I shouldn't buy the new copy of the game I had in hand, it was available used for 4 dollars cheaper! Oh yey, I save 4 dollars so all my money goes straight to you bastards and the game company who made my game don't get a dime. Then the one company I actually idolize (Treasure) makes even fewer titles that hardly make it to our shore in very low numbers already.
Manager: "the game developers already got paid by the publisher"...
Me: "ermm... go back to economics class then dingle nut. Who'da thunk you work in a GameStop!?"
Manager: "But it's cheaper, simple economics there brotha."
Me: "Oh, ok, if I traded it in how much money would you give me!?"
...
there's the bullet. Those fuckers pay like 5 bucks for that title, and turn around and sell it for just a few bucks under the new copies price.
...
back on topic. If there were a way, and you wouldn't do it. The fact the directions exist here on the interwebs would allow access to it by everyone and their brother. So yeah, if I knew a way, I wouldn't tell you. You might not steal it, but there are plenty of people who would.
odd, it's raining in my front yard, and really sunny in my back.
