Wasn't sure I was ever gonna build up enough for another code so it's nice that the free game counts. Not sure if I wanna get The Mysterious Murasame Castle on 3DS or wait so I'll only be a couple bucks out of pocket for Pushmo World.
Might at least wait 'til E3 to see if they do any "and such and such is available on the eShop RIGHT NOW" kind of releases.

Nintendo recommends not using flash storage due to the more limited rewrites.

Awesome.
Coz I bought Mario Kart + Free Game + lego batman 2 + injustice.
I'm still buying retail games at retail so it took me like a year to get that first code and I only got the second because of the free game.
If they'd tied 3DS purchases into the NNP thing when they put NNIDs on there I'dve gotten another one from Ace Attorney 5 and Umihara Kawase but whatevs.

Yeah, I'm not too cut up about not getting a $7 credit for Mario Kart 8 when getting it from Big W was like $25 cheaper anyway.
There's a place or two that have excellent dumplings in Chinatown. It's cheap, tasty and you don't leave hungry. It's not fast food per see, but they don't take long to whip them up.
Laksa from a place in the QVB is great value and the same deal as above.
Maybe also try Guzman y Gomez or get an expensive hot dog from The Snag Stand.

Pretty awesome deal. Is that online only? If so, is there some way to avoid the extra shipping charge?

Buy 2 of them. >100 AUD orders (I think that's the magic threshold but you might want to double check) have free shipping.
Alternatively find some other thing you want to make up the price to 100.

On the one hand, it's a 2am wake up during my week off and, having turned 29 today, I'm very nearly a grown up and should know enough to get a full night's sleep. On the other hand, there's no hype like Nintendo hype and there's no Nintendo hype like Zelda hype.
Decisions decisions...

When was the last great Ninty conf? Even EA have been more interesting lately.

It was years ago, to be honest. Doesn't put a brake on the hype train though.

Mostly been focusing on GPs and time trials tonight. Might jump in next weekend.
Holy I can't get this dumb tournament thing to work!

Happy birthday. Sleep > nintendo.
Yeh somethings up with you it seems :O
I tried to join you in an online race and was getting network errors. But no issues with the tourney
aniseed ham and I just had some races.Are you able to join other tourneys?
Why can't they do us working folk a favor and hold these things on a weekend?
I picked up Mario Kart 8 cheap from Big W and have registered the Club Nintendo code for my free game - all good.
The current discounted launch prices are so good I decided to take a risk and try to get some extra eShop games by buying more copies. The rules say you can only take part once per Club Nintendo account BUT I noticed that they give you an eShop download code once the process is complete rather than automatically activating the game on your linked Club Nintendo/eShop account.
So I've bought 2 more copies @ $52.20 each and am planning on taking out the Club Nintendo codes, registering a new Club Nintendo account for each of them, and trying to activate the game codes I get on my normal eShop account. I suspect they've done it this way because they have no other way to assign the games to people and so it should be fine. Maybe someone has already confirmed this?
I'll then sell on the unplayed (but opened) copies of the game via eBay. I'll be clear that they don't include Club Nintendo cards or the free game promotion - but I reckon I should still be able to get $40-$50 for them.
Will let you know if it works out.

my first exam is on the 12th, which is pretty darn close to the press conferences, but I think I'll manage.
By comparison, I didn't think twice about staying up for the press conferences back when I had a job. I'd just turn up in the morning with a few hours sleep.
Always sucked to have to miss the sony conference, though.

Will have to remember that. Unfortunately I saw that Sanity had a "5 Blu-rays for $55" deal going, and spent way too much money. DS4 purchase is now on the backburner lol.
what better time to get full hype train than 2 in the fucking morning
blah~!
it's the only conf i'll catch too, lol

But it's not a conference.
I'm going to watch it on the internet so from my perspective it makes no difference

Well. Only the Sony one is on at a reasonable hour. Not that I really care to see them live. Seeing the breakdowns by the blogs and then looking in on recordings of events that have things of interest is my normal approach.
Strangely I'm more keen on the Apple WWDC keynote tomorrow morning (and later Google IO). And I'm not even really an Apple guy (though I do have an iPad). Mostly because Apple does a better job about not blabbing about everything before the event.
Yeah, totally watching the Sony one at work as I do the other years. Which is fine, because it's the only one that's ever relevant to me.
I'll be getting up at 2am next Tuesday morning to ride the entire hype train.
I'll probably just rewatch the Nintendo stuff on IGN's site at a more dignified time. Excited to see new Smash Bros though.
And really I don't expect to see anything that cool that hasn't already been pre-announced. Certainly not worth sacrificing any sleep time.
That seems to be the trend.
That said, I might buy an Xbone late next week, if enough good Xbone games are announced. JB Hi-Fi has a $600 deal for the Xbone with Kinect and 4 games - Fifa 2014, Forza, Titanfall and Watch Dogs.
Yyyyup. The only thing I recall wasting any precious sleep time on was the Xbox One unveiling, which I really only watched because I fully expected to see PGR5.
Never again.
Edit: Speaking of which, Rep: It appears that Lucid have completely lost their soul. (possibly not news, but heartbreaking nonetheless)

Oh wow that's by Lucid? Awesome! I remember seeing the app when I tried to download the Sly 4 app. I don't think it was available here yet.
In any case it looks like a legit great companion app.
If it was cats rather than dogs I'd be all over it
