In the grand scheme of things, the process of redeeming a code probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but it still factors in to the overall user experience. If a company doesn’t make this easy, doing it will feel like a chore.
On that note, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo all use different approaches when it comes to code redemption, some more user friendly than others. To see which one’s best, we pit these processes against each other.

Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Nah they will be tho look at rscs3 they have psn made in there emulator why not xenia bro?
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
You won't be able to download anything from it soon after.
The Wii Shop Channel will be going offline very soon. Here's everything you'll need to know if you want to make some last minute purchases, or want to preserve any games that you've previously bought.
Luckily with the Homebrew scene on the Wii being as big as it is, you could still get these afterwards.
The Switch VC can't come soon enough. I wish they'd wait until then to phase out the Wii's VC.
I've only redeemed a code for a year of Live, but I use PSN cards often. No real difference. I think Live uses more characters.
you do not have to over exert your finger by pressing R2. It automatically capitalizes it for you. nice thorough research

If anything the Wii code-redemption is probably the most time consuming. Not to mention that both MS and Nintendo's prepaid cards get you a set number of points rather than actual tried-and-true dollars and cents currency. I'm fairly positive that both MS and Nintendo also require you to purchase more points than you actually need, so you always have a few hundred points left over not to get anything spectacular, but just to mill around in your account until maybe a theme comes along or a cheapo piece of DLC.
The 360's code-redemption cards are a lot easier to use than the PS3s, you're not required to scrape any film off, just tear the cardboard away. And the PS3 will automatically capitalize any codes you input.

A pathetic submission.
