there is no slim wii. think u refering to the black wii bundle which comes with wii motion plus wii sports and wii sports resort. of course the black wii is better. in the states old and new is the same price, but in malasia the newer seems more expensive.

I can give you some advice coz i bought mine in state too.

You can get your Wii in any supermart like BestBuy, Walmart, Target or other game shop like gamestop etc. No need to go one by one to compare the price because the price is fix around the country. But please go to their website to check the availability because Wii is too popular in states and always out of stock!!! Wii Sport is included in the Wii console. Some supermart will include accessories such as additional Wii Remote or Wii Fit as bundled, the price may or may not cheaper.
Remember US got GST tax, pls add the tax to your price before you decided to buy it. However, if you buy from Amazon you are free from tax and you can ask them to deliver to your US address.

Actually if you want, you can goto bestbuy.com and sum up all the things you want (add GST) and then compare the price that other ppl offer like Kyo.
Frankly speaking, Kyo's games price is very attractive because the one i got from US is merely about few ringgit cheaper.
If you are the type of "warranty-must" guy, i will recommend of buying locally.

If you are interested, this is what i got from states: Wii Console(with Wii Sport) + Wii Remote +Wii Nunchuck +Wii Fit Plus (bundled with Balance Bd) + Wii Motion Plus + Wii Sport Resort (Bundled with Wii Motion Plus) ~ USD 470 (include GST)

One more thing, if you got your Wii from US, remember to buy a step down transformer!! US is using 110V and M'sia is 240V (a good one at 200W will cost you about RM100)

Aside to Shauyan's price, I could say that now the Wii in the states costs less since they have bundled motionplus and wii sports resort.

So, you should be looking at a little close to 400 USD with taxes.

And yeah, stepdown transformer, important!

thank you so much guys. i just checked. usd199 for bundle wii+remote&nunchuck+motion plus+wii sports+wii sports resort + sensor bar.
good buy ar? i dont mind going thru amazon as i have usa address.
also, white or black better? my wife thinks white is more traditional and also the accesories and peripherals mostly are white.

update: prices checked, after gst is just usd220+/- .

Convert back to RM, and include the cost of adapter. If its lesser than RM 1150, go for it. If not, go buy from me. tongue.gif But that's just the barebones of the console.

Remember, coming back to Malaysia is another customs thing. So be wary of that.
