Try all you want, but I'm not buying any retail game on a digital platform.
I doubt Ninty will bring this over anyway. Nintendo doesn't care about America, especially when it comes to Club Nintendo.

Nope, not until they adopt a pricing model where digital games cost lest than physical, as it should be. If I can't rent/trade/sell/borrow/lend my games, we get less power over sales and discounts and it also happens to cost the publisher's less money, then there should be a price disparity, and some imaginary coins and Gameboy games aren't enough for me at least
I'm willing to lose the physical box for the convenience of always having the games on my system. I'll be buying the games digitally when the 3DS XL is released.
I buy my games used and resell them. If the game cost less than $10 then I have no problem with digital distribution. Those $10 games have to receive a review score of 8 and above for me to purchase them. The day that the industry goes all digital, that would be "GAME OVER" for me.
Actually, they have the double-coin offer on the club nintendo website:

@llort het:
The solution seems obvious to me. If digital games should cost less than physical, then they should increase the price of physical to better reflect the added costs.

The real question I have on this is related to Nintendo's online policy. With the Wii if your system dies you can't transfer your downloaded games over to a new console that you buy, like you can with the 360 and their license transfer tool, you have to have it repaire. Does the same restriction apply to the 3DS?

I've learned to accept that some people just get more stuff than us and always will. I suggest everyone else do the same.

@Lekku - That restriction was lifted from the 3DS last November, I believe you can transfer data between up to five 3DS units.
In the same month, Sony limited that sharing from five Sony platforms to two.
As for transferring Wii VC games, Nintendo's looking into setting up something that will let you transfer games from the Wii to the Wii U. Essentially I expect the transfer policy to be similar to what the 3DS policy is, but with the albatross that is relicensing games for a new platform like Vita is SO not enjoying right now.
This is probably why Nintendo is currently reintroducing some VC games through eShop so they they're approved for Wii U as well.

Thanks for the information. Looks like I should hang onto my old Wii then in the hopes that I will be able to transfer the data off there to my new one. None of the downloaded channels or games will load and just freeze at a black screen when I try and launch them.
Sounds like they improved it a bit for the 3DS, but from your description it sounds like I would have to have both 3DS systems correct? So if one stopped working or was broken/stolen I wouldn't be able to do the transfer. Certainly a step in the right direction, but hopefully with the Wii-U account thing that has been mentioned a few times it will work more like it does with the 360 in that you can just revoke the license for the previous system and use it on the new one.

@Llort
In this scenario, the DD IS technically cheaper, as the bonus stuff is valuable and "Free"(Pff...>.>)
Or, you could by a code from a retailer for potentially far less... or buy physical, used....
There are more options than ever with this system, and it has a lot of promising potential.
Lets hope it lives up to that potential...^_^;

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm at the point where I'm comfortable with occasionally buying digital versions of retail games if the bonuses are right."
Me too, but I highly doubt we'll see this stateside. Their unmovable price point is a bit of an issue for me too, unless the bonus' are REALLY good and make up for it.
