The Nintendo DS launches in Europe on March 11. But we’re giving you the chance to own the dual-screened wonder weeks in advance!*

Super Mario 64 DS (pre-release version) (Rated ‘3+’)

Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt (Demo version) (Rated '12+') **

Wario Ware Touched! (Demo version) (Rated ‘3+’)

Exclusive Nintendo DS T-shirt

All this can be yours for £129.99 (€189.99 for Irish-resident members), plus 1,000 Stars to cover the cost of postage and packing.

But hurry: only 3000 of these highly desirable packs are being made available, exclusively to Nintendo VIPs and Club Members. You won’t find them anywhere else.

Go to the Stars Catalogue now for further details.

*This offer is not available to children under 12 years old, due to the '12+' age rating for Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt.

Rew · 28-01-2005 11:21am

I would if it's possible?

super_furry · 28-01-2005 5:11pm

Arggghhh! I managed to get 250 Stars of a mate, but now I can't get into the site.

[nicK] · 28-01-2005 5:32pm

this looks good.. although i havn't got a star to my name.

any way of quickly racking up 1000stars?
ive about 15 gamecube games.. so i register them? how?
wouldn't mind becoming a member.. the fee whatever it is, should be ok..
are there other ways?

super_furry · 28-01-2005 5:35pm

Got it sorted. Got the e-mail off them, but I have to wait until Monday to order it. Anyone ordered theirs yet or know when they're being sent out?

Nick - It's free to join, you just use the Stars code that comes on a scratchcard with most new Nintendo games. It's usually 250 points per game, so you'll only need four codes.

Oh there were just until 1500 left when I grabbed mine.

KdjaCL · 28-01-2005 6:19pm

I have a few thousand left but you cant transfer them as far as i can see.

wow! I ordered mine at around noon and there were 1900 odd left. looks like they're starting to move.

[nicK] · 28-01-2005 9:29pm

argh.. in a race against time here!
i'm just home and found that i have 5 star codes, that's 1250 stars, excellent!
registered for a club membership and i'm now waiting on the damn activation email! (been waiting 30mins.. activation emails normally arrive within 5mins!?!)

anyway, just hope all goes to plan before they're all gone.

[nicK] · 28-01-2005 9:48pm

phew!
i think i got it just in time.. (is it just me or has the DS been taken off the stars catalogue?)
it says in the terms and conditions that it could take up to 28days for delivery :eek:

[edit] "Your Pak will be dispatched for delivery within 48 hours of your payment having been cleared, unless we notify you otherwise."[/edit]

Placebo · 28-01-2005 11:06pm

this gets delivered instantly now ? or whats the story ?
i dont even have stars. wtf

Ciaran500 · 28-01-2005 11:24pm

I've heard they will be shipped by Euro48 next week. But no one is sure.

Syth · 29-01-2005 8:42pm

I got mine. Only 550 left when I ordered. I'll ring them up tomorrow with my plastic. The site was having lots of problems yesterday. Though I got to see the Mario 500 Server Error message

The only way I can think of transfering stars is to have not registered a game and to send that code to someone.

RobertFoster · 29-01-2005 10:58pm

You'll have to wait until Monday Syth - they're closed at weekends.

Only 218 left :eek: didn't last long!

Brerrabbit · 30-01-2005 2:49am

er if anyone wants them, I bought a couple of cube games recently that I'm probably not going to bother claiming the stars on. two lots of 250. One from tales of symphonia, one from pikmin2 (I might have one from F-zero GX. I'll have a look.

I'll check the site tommorow and if anyone wants them I'll post the numbers up.

rainbow kirby · 30-01-2005 3:44pm

It's sold out now. That was quick...

sound_wave · 30-01-2005 10:27pm

yeah i ordered mine on friday when there were 2000 left, went surfing for the weekend up the country and came home and checked how they were selling and they are all sold out! gotta ring nintendo tomorrow with my cc details and im laughing

[nicK] · 31-01-2005 9:34am

I just got through and paid on the UK number. I had to hold for a bit (fifth in the queue) but the whole call took less than 5 and a half minutes.
