The DSi is linked to your Club Nintendo account. Nintendo records the system ID and prevents it from getting another 1000 free DSi points by just formatting the system memory.
In short, this will fail, sorry.

 

Why don't you test it?

 

Yes why don't you?

 

i think ur system will be registered when u get those points.

 

Sorry, won't work. When the points are assigned to your account it registers your DSi. Even after formatting, if you acces the DSiWare store with that particular DSi, it will download your points balance from the server. Kinda of like online banking. Don't you just wish you can throw away something you bought and have the money you spent on it magically get added back to your bank account?

 

I would imagine they wouldn't be douchebags and do what they did with the wii and give each console their own account. But still the fact that you have to stick with one console is lame :\

 

It almost certainly works like the Wii - formatting the system memory actually formats very little, just deletes the extra channels you have. So I would guess each account is linked with each DSi so you can re-download the stuff you already bought but not get more free points.

The only way to get the 1000 free points again would be to get another DSi.

 

I would think that if it was refurbished by Nintendo, they would wipe the system memory, and change the hardware ID (If that's even possible). Then it would appear like it was brand new.

 

''Put on you thinking caps, guys. Its money making time.'' lol.
I guess I was the only stupid one...
But thanks for being nice about it (most of you).
Now that this topic is up, I have a quick question about dsiware on an sd card: I understand that you are able to copy dsiware from the system to an sd card. Are you able to play them off an sd card? Because I cant! Im using a micro sd card in an sd card reader. Would this have effect?
Its also worth noting that I share micro sd card with my acekard 2i.
Anyone know?

 

DSi hacking is primitive right now huh....
