Gamers want eCards back

News

Deniliquin’s many Nintendo gamers are unhappy that they cannot find any local shops that sell Nintendo eCards.

Nintendo eCards are just like iTunes cards with purchasers buying them, taking them home and redeeming them via inputting the code to be able to pay for digital versions of games.

000eShop

The eCards look like the ones on the image above (picture pre WiiU) and were once available at Coles but have been withdrawn sometime during 2015.

Nintendo users can still buy credit on their devices via credit card but the eCards are beneficial for those who do not have a credit card and cannot travel 45 minutes to Echuca to get one from stores that carry them.

Meanwhile past and present Deniliquin residents are doing well on Pokémon Shuffle with three having caught over 100 Pokémon,  Players still have a long way to go before claiming they have caught them all and the game is designed that gets harder to catch them and upgrade your Pokémon.

Pokémon Shuffle is free in the Nintendo eShop and can also be brought and played on devices like the iPod, iPad and iPhone for free as well.

Prices fall at Murray Goulburn

News

Dairy Farmers received bad news this week with Murray Goulburn saying they expect to pay farmers $4.80 per kilogram of milk solids but there is worse to come with the opening farmgate milk price being just $4.31 per kgms, a difference of 49 cents between the two.

As reported earlier this year, Murray Goulburn slashed the farmgate milk price for the remainder of the 2015/16 season to between $4.75 and $5.00 per kgms after it’s price was $5.60.

Murray Goulburn have blamed global oversupply as well very low global dairy commodity prices with reports that the amount of milk solids in inventories could make over six billion litres of milk.

There is a belief that prices will recover by six percent over the second half of the 2016/17 financial year though this increase will not put totals back to previous levels.

There is some good news with dairy producer Bega Cheese announcing an opening farmgate milk price of $5.00 per kgms which is 69 better than what Murray Goulburn is offering as it’s opening price.

TV channels to change

Uncategorized

There is a big change coming to what you see on TV with WIN and Southern Cross switching allegiances and it comes into effect on July 1.

WIN has carried Channel Nine content for almost 30 years and Southern Cross has shown Channel Ten’s content since 1992 so TV viewers have been used to it for a generation or two.

Now on July 1, WIN will be showing Channel Ten’s content (Masterchef etc) and Southern Cross will now be showing Channel Nine’s content (The AFL Footy Show etc).

So on your remote, Channel 10 shows from Friday will be on channels 8/80s on WIN while Channel 9’s shows will be on channels 5/50s on Southern Cross/Nine and it will take some time to get used to that.

Are you confused by the change? We sure are but this news.com.au piece should be able to clarify what the switches involve or it will induce a spate of head scratching around town as residents get used to changes.
