as a sidenote, RM850 is a little steep for what is possibly a "non hassle free" setup.

get a US model Wii (SG set is also US model with 220V power adapter) and go look for games from certain vendors here in LYN. they do carry some Wii games or they can order for u.

if you are alright with the pricing of original games, then there is plenty to buy from online stores too.

that is what all of us (who support Wii originals) do here. so it shows when there's a will there is a way ...

he was referring to the actions of those ppl who mod it and sell it claiming that it works EXACTLY like a US/English Wii.

what is not clear at the point of selling/buying is obviously the "hassles" that comes with maintaining and getting the machine to work as time goes ...

how do you think other people in the rest of the world cope with this "problem" then ?

that is the reason why there are things like game ratings (eg. E - Everyone, PG13 - Parental guidance, etc) for audience suitability and for gameplay itself game reviews (written and/or video review).

i'm pretty sure u'll easily find preview, trailers and user gameplay videos on youtube, etc as well.


if u r still that afraid of "losing" money this way then i guess it's safer not to get into wii gaming (in malaysia) OR stick with the *ahem* solution and live with the hassles ... your choice.

Wii has built-in 512MB total flash memory for storage of Channels (game, applications like Opera browser, etc) and game save files. since a certain firmware version you can use SDHC SD cards which can be used to save the above too.

it is now possible to launch wiiware and virtual console (both type of games downloaded from Wii Shop online) directly from SD card as well.

PAL region Wii (UK/AUS) was delivered in DVD game case although it was also a pack-in game with every new console.

JPN region Wii Sports was NOT a pack-in game with console and obviously was sold in normal DVD game case.
