Dauntless Hunter 01/24/12 5:55:00 AM #4:	As long as they let you just pay what it costs.

Remember what the 3DS eShop was like before the latest update, that used real dollars and it was the worst online marketplace yet. Remember when Microsoft would only let you buy points in increments of 500 instead of 400?

Lopen 01/24/12 10:01:00 AM #14:	As long as they convert existing points into money (I'd imagine they'd be in hot water if they didn't) I'm happy to hear this. Well I mean I may be happy either way but I have a lot of points from gifts that I haven't used yet so it might be inconvenient to use them if I have to by the end of the year. -- No problem!
