It's not useless. What if you would like to give the upcoming VC game Super Mario Bros. 3 to 2 of your friends? With Wii Points Cards you would be forced to purchase 2 $20* USD Wii Points Cards bringing up your total that you would have to spend to $40. Now if you simply send them a gift your total would only be $10...
*Some places are actually jacking up the cost of Wii Points Cards; www.walmart.com are selling a 2000 point card for $24.82 PLUS taxes ripping you off an additional $4.82 plus whatever tax your area has.
you make a good point hyrules but i am probably never going to buy 2 friends VC games
but i guess many people will
How about this scenario?
You are 200 miles (more than 5000 miles in my case) away from your friend....
It's their birthday... instead of sending that Wii point card possibly on the wrong day because of the mail or spending money on priority mail OR getting the card lost because of some mailman wanting Wii points (last one's a little out there... but it's possible.... lol).... you could send the VC game to their Wii!!!
Edit: Also.. I forgot about the region specificness.. so that gets the whole scenario in the face!!
