Hey UK peep!

Next monday you'll be able to use your stars from Nintendo products to buy games, T-shirts, toys and other things.

From the site, this is what there will be to buy from your stars:

- T-shirts
- Rayman 3 game
- GBA cases
- Demo disk
- X-men 2 stuff
- Retro Nintendo stuff
- Metroid stuff

They're actually going to be giving free games like Raman away. Looks like Europe is getting some attention. We're also getting a few games before the US aswell.

Probably quite a few - i've got a few thousand so i'm sorted for basically a demo disk and T-shirt.

are they doing this for the US? Obviously, if they do start releasing gamecube games early, it will be for their big releases. Japan always gets them before anyone else though, and the US about 5-6 months afterwards. I'd be suprised to see Nintendo give the US a longer amount of time to wait in order to give Europe favortism. If this happens on a regular basis, I'll just stop buying the games all together.

They are trying to make up for the poor sales in Europe.

it seems odd that they would release games early in a country where a console boasts poor sells and piss off the loyal customers in the meantime.
