What on earth to do with Japanese MS points?

Post by Mad Mage »

When i ordered Mushihimesama Futari, I threw in a 1600 jpn points card to get the Black Label DLC. Now I find I can buy it with US MS points. No complaint; I happy they made that possible. But it does mean I have some Japanese points to spend. Anyone know any good exclusive Japanese XBLA games? There's also some direct download 360 games, though the only ones I saw that were Japanese exclusive were Idol Master and maybe some RPG or visual novel

Do you have the Deathsmiles DLC? Or are you running a US 360?

US. A Japanese 360 is certainly tempting though.

Ouch. That's a lot of points to have hanging around.

I'm only out like 22 bucks if I don't use them. But yeah, since most 360 downloadable games seem to be released universally, I'm not too picky on what I spend them on. Any suggestions won't be scoffed at, but I do want to use them on something I can't buy with US points.

If you haven't redeemed it already, why not resell the code to someone with a Japanese gamertag to use?

Buy some cool themes or something, like the DeathSmiles and Futari themes.

This. If you don't have a reason to set up a j account to keep track of DLC then you don't want to start down that path. I've got 200 pts I can't do a darn thing with left over from the DS DLC.

I like both those ideas. I could totally see myself wasting it on some shump themes. But yeah, if someone wants to buy the code, I'd sell it. Actually, it hasn't arrived yet (can't wait to play me some futari), but it should be here soon and if someone wants it, i'll gladly sell them the code.

Oh, and I already have a j account, since they aren't very hard to set up. Got to play the bayonetta demo early, but that's about all the good its done me.
