    Do they suck or have they improved since the days of shoddy N64 PAL conversions?

    I really thought they had gotten their act together but 2 things are pissing me off recently.

    The first is obviously the Wii points card shop. I mean why can't you just log in click convert and change stars into points. Why does it have to be so damn complicated! It's so bloody frustrating. Garrrrrghhhhhhhhh!

    The second thing is the price of the VC games. At first glance they seem reasonable enough but if you do a direct comparison with their price in the states and japan you'll see as usual you're being ripped off. For an N64 game in Europe you'll pay 10 euro. For the exact same game in the states you'll pay €6.82 and in japan €6.02 (at current rates). Why? I just don't understand it. I mean I know you can say "well it's only 4 euro" but basically it means they've upped the price over 60% for the European market. For the same product! That's huge!

    So yeah basically thats been grindin my gears and I thought I'd see if I was alone. I'd also love someone to tell me all the things they've been doing right so at least I know my money's not being wasted.

    They're still a useless shower.

    We still get overcharged and still suffer 9+ month delays on major releases. The online service is a complete shambles, how they managed to come up with a supply limit on virtual items is beyond me.

    I am NOT impressed! My email address appears to have disappeared off their system so I can't log on or retrieve my password. I had thousands of points! Not cool... I had my DS phat, DS lite in pink and black, Wii, countless games, Gamecube all on it. No way could I accumulate those points back!!!

    AAAAAAAGH!

    What new terms and conditions? I'm not aware of what happened recently as I didn't log on at all for a few months.
