Do you currently have Wii points just sitting in your account, collecting dust?
How long have they been there?

I've had 1200 points just sitting there since late November. :p

I really want to get Castlevania 3 with those points, but then that'll leave me with 700 points. That's lame. If I could be left with 800 points, I'd have no problem spending them. I just keep thinking: "What if Super Punch Out comes out right after I get CV3?" lol With my luck that probably would happen.

I'm hesitant to give Nintendo more of my money that'll just sit there and collect dust. If I get 2000 more points, then I'll be sitting at 3200 points. I already have pretty much everything on VC that I want, except CV3 and Secret of Mana. That'll leave me with 1900 points I won't know what to do with. And with only 1 game a week, it could wind up taking me many, many months to spend those points.

What VC games do you have? Surely you don't have the dozens and dozens of worthwhile purchases. Why not try something new, instead of all the games you've already played in the past?

@bob_newman: I have all the good old games I want (minus CV3 & SoM), and about 5-6 that I played for the first time on VC. I got all the Wii ware stuff I need too. So, anything beyond that would just be taking a risk on possible garbage I can't return. ;)

I'll say it again, surely you don't have all the games that are worthwhile purchases on the VC. Here's a website with VC reviews, I'm sure you're missing a lot.

This may or may not help, but you can purchase points using a credit card in $10 incriments instead of $20.

It seems like just yesterday that I was holding on to 1100 points for some reason or another. Now, that GHWT and RB2 both have some pretty good DLC, I've actually bought another Wii Points card, and am already down to 900 points.

It's been 5 months since I've last downloaded any titles (Megaman and Super Mario RPG) and I still have 300 Wii points stored since that time. Me buying 2000 wii points and then downloading World of Goo will bring me to 800, just enough for a Super Ninty title :D

No I always use all of the points I buy as soon as I input the code. the only time I would probably have points just sitting there is if I were to decide to buy a super nintendo game.

I have 100 points left over collecting, as some one called it, virtual dust because of Nintendo's awkward price system, which isn't nearly as bad as MS's.

I've had 1500 points sitting around... since launch day. I really want Donkey Kong 64 to come out, but I don't think it will anytime soon. I was thinking about the original Paper Mario, but I have so many other games to play it wouldn't seem worth it. I'd rather hang on to them and get a game I really want, like DK64.

800 here. But i never feel bad about it...
In the upcoming years, i'm sure i'll pick something i spend it on.
And even if i don't, the 10 games i downloaded will have been 8 euro's more expensive in total.
That's ok.

World of Goo = 1500 points. I've found it quite enjoyable, worth $15. I think I'm all tapped out now:D
