This console generation, sales for the Xbox One are estimated to be around 47 million units behind sales for the PlayStation 4. That’s a huge gap that Microsoft isn’t likely to close before we learn more about the next generation of consoles next year, but it isn’t because the Xbox One failed to innovate, or come up with a series of great, pro-consumer programs. It seems like Sony has focused on big, blockbuster first-party games like God of War, Spider-Man, and Uncharted 4, while Microsoft has focused on accessibility and value-related initiatives. PlayStation’s exclusives have been pretty incredible and I’m glad we have them, but I think they’ve lead a lot of gamers to undervalue the competition. So, here are some of the most underrated moves Microsoft made this console generation.
The very first quest in The Outer Worlds, Obsidian’s highly anticipated first-person RPG out October 25, asked me to make what felt like an impossible choice. On one side was a community of outsiders frustrated by corporate control. Their outpost was something like a worker’s paradise — they were well fed and mostly happy, surviving by relying on each other. I admired their leader, Adelaide, for the passion that she had for her people. On the other side was the corporate-owned town they left, led by Reed Tobson, an idiot that didn’t seem to realise that asking his workers to only eat canned fish (for protein!) led to the population being ravaged by plagues.
Despite how much I hated Tobson, he was right that the people working for him suffered because of the workers that had abandoned the town to form their own community.

Nobody that I have read on various forums has had their previous registration on the old site recognised. Which means if you didn't keep your cards, you're shit outta luck, despite Nintendo's original email that said your Star points had been kept for safe keeping.

I haven't registered any other codes since I found out that Stars expire after a certain amount of time (a period of time I've been unable to discover), so I'm holding off on them until I have a whole bunch.

I can tell you right now that people have been stealing club codes from game cases on shelves, or jotting down numbers the same way. Stores need to secure all game manuals in a drawer, as this is a pretty big problem.
Did not work for me at first and I initially thought it was because I had already registered them before the Club Nintendo launch. As it turns out, the codes are case sensitive, so use caps if it's not working.
Also, if you were using the Club Nintendo link off Nintendo.com.au yesterday, you would have been directed to the wrong page - this has been fixed today, though.

If you already preregistered your codes, you need to reregister both your user details and codes. Preregistering, it turns out, was a waste of time.

I found that you had to input the letters as capitals – lower-case letters result in a failed registration.
super mario galaxy doesn't have a code, does it?
I've got it, but there was no card with a code in it.
Pre-registered all of the following titles last year,

I had trouble to start with too. Just remember to enter the product code exactly as it appears on the invitations. That means in capital letters, plus make sure the 0s and Os are right. As soon as I changed the letters to capitals it worked straight away. Could be worth trying if you're having trouble
