500 points for the channel is totally out of order. I normally dont mind buying games/points but this goes too far.

I won't be downloading it. Casual games get on my nerves anyway.

There is no channel to download for this - its just another section of the Wii Store..

Looks like a good thing to me really, offers another delivery route for developers, and as long as they keep to sensible pricing (current games are at 800-1500 points) it should be good for us too.

Shame theres nothing that really appeals at the moment, but then there wasnt much on VC at first really..I have high hopes

but do you agree with paying for something that would allow you to buy things. For example if they charged for steam people would go crazy

[Spud1]

of course that would be stupid - but I don't know of any such services at the moment

ahh i see where i was going wrong with it now, misunderstood it, i thought you had to pay for the delivery tool as well
