Then I noticed... my balance said there are 800 points.
Eight... hundred??!?!?! but... the email I just got...
So I wrote them an email to ask. I got a generic mailout in return.

Maybe more people have also been robbed of stars. It took me years to build up that many, through the Gamecube era... :(
Grr, Nintendo. Why didn't they send an email saying "Important information about your Stars Balance" right BEFORE deleting them, rather than right after! T_T
In other news, I decided to buy an Xbox 360. No, it's not revenge, there's just a good special offer on at play.com, plus the games are going fairly cheap now, so I picked up a few that I've had my eye on. It'll arrive tomorrow! :D
I'm playing on my Sega Mega-CD tonight. That's more like revenge against Nintendo! >:)
