hei guys, can you all give some comments. I plan buy wii.
1) i am confusing which console is much better, US set or Korea mod set? if plan for future easy to upgarde the firmware can wanna to mod it.
2) How much for the US set? Where can buy? I stay at Penang.

do u realise the more info u read the more confuse u get. so i make it simple, buy US set. u wanna buy it then mod it or buy it modded is up to u. but don't buy korean
2. is hard to get in penang anything but korean set. so to buy us set u must get lucky, or buy from lyn (its not so hidden). a brand new one is about rm9XX.

lyn? lyn is who?

lowyat.net. this site. go to garage sale lot of vendors there want your business

is true,i am usinh US black wii bundle set.no problem so far

if the guy wants, I can give free shipping.

I would like to know if I wanna sell my US Wii which is modded but only problem is that I bought a Pal version game and now the new 'games'
don't how much should I sell it for ? Bought it around 2 years ago

i think u can still sell at about 65-70% of the original price. us wii is high demand.

For games depends, usually around 50-1++ (but below the selling price and depending on the age and condition of the item) but usually the games that is on high demand are the US games. Not many people own a PAL unit to play it. But u can always post it on our chamber of commerce.

as for ur US wii...is it hardmod (a chip/device is planted) or softmod (modded using software)? usually the shop that do it for u can undone the mod for u too (with a small fee).

IMHO, nintendo should make the Wii accessable to all regions, 1 World, 1 Wii rather than the current confusing set up.

Region locks, well the issue was due to legal reasons. Because in US, some games are differently titled, and some items may not be so legit.

You have the need for parental controls and all, so it makes things complicated.

Put it this way, if you're a japanese or Korean, you would want certain things to look in a certain way that adapts to your culture (language and content wise). So, region locks was implemented.

I for one wouldn't want region locks. But have to bear with it.

if ps3 can do it. there is no excuse for wii

You are thinking of marketing gimmick level, the real reason (bottom line) behind this is to make more money (eg. selling rights to different publishers on different regions, control pricing across different regions)

+1

cultural diff, diff titles for games or parental locks is just a lame excuse...i tot those thing happened during the dark ages of console

Well, some consoles don't run away from the dark ages, and some are wishy washy with it.

I think most consumers are wise enough to choose what's best for ourselves. We don't need them to tell us that! ;p

as unique a wii maybe, nintendo should follow the ps3 way, else it really a hassle & a turn off. If nintendo continues with this policy, i would not consider it for my next upgrade.

Lets see how it goes. Their DS is still region free. But maybe this would change.

So, how has your sale been?

well, just got the wii back from the playtime, let's see how it plays for the next couple of days.. hope it won't hang again with wii sports & wii sports resorts, else

so err u remod it or u unmod it?
