I will LOL hard when people waiting local unit, only to have the price almost the same or slightly lower than the current US price.

Warranty? What warranty? 240V power adapter? Alex already selling the 3rd party ones that works like a charm. The advantages and reasons are getting lost slowly day by day as you wait.

What he said. Zing!

All the careful people and their waiting game. Just say la you waiting for more games to come out before getting, I'd accept that. But waiting out for local set under the illusion of warranty? Hilarious!

ADDENDUM: If me = rich pipu, I wouldn't have gone out my way to get my Wii U the way I did. I could've just gotten my butler to get one from the sellers who were asking RM2.5k-4k for a parallel import Wii U at that time. Logic busted.

but the ironic thing is most people can afford ipong and samseng s3 and they say console is expensive.

Nobody said it was wrong. Those who think logically would've think that the disparity between waiting for local set with regards to price is only applicable when local set price is significantly cheaper, warranting the wait. If the local set now priced at RM1450 and released let say February 2013, while the US set is now already at RM1450 without any wait whatsoever, well.......I leave it to you to do the foregone conclusion.

And at this:-
I guess you followed my posts secretly eh? Yup, I guess I use my own money to "fly america go buy" as you put it. One of my paparazzis I see. Nope, I didn't use a single sen of my money "fly america go buy". I use my company money "fly america go buy". There's a difference between those two.

How long was it that the enterprising game shops here takes before they can take apart the consoles themselves and do their own repair, I wonder? I know, coz I've dealt with them all this while, and not long after, folks have been forwarding their Wiis last time to stores who do repairs like this, as well as those who are cheap enough not wanting to buy original games and ask these game shops to modify their Wiis to play pirated discs. In the end, that "local warranty" advantage when it comes to locally purchased unit, gone also. So much for that, eh?

As for this gem of yours:
I'll get you back here once we have a local price. Dont worry, I'll call you back here via PM. I can almost guarantee that the local price will not be any much different than RM1450. Either a few hundreds less. Might be even more since local buyers buy into the "local set better warranty better peace of mind" mantra. Hell, tell you what. You started the name calling right? I'l play by your book. I'll be your troll. A charitable troll. I'll buy you a local warranty Black Premium Wii if the price is less than RM1100. Why RM1100? That's USD349.99 with sales tax in US converted to RM. You want that savings to be that cheap enough to warrant the waiting right? This way, you get your Black Wii U for free from me and continue name-call me a troll at the same time. I also get to meet face to face how my paparazzis look like. So it's a win-win for me and you. Deal?

Okay what, I'm just fulfilling your perception of me, that I'm a "Mr Troll", right?

4. I'll be your troll. A charitable troll. I'll buy you a local warranty Black Premium Wii if the price is less than RM1100. Why RM1100? That's USD349.99 with sales tax in US converted to RM.

The bolded part. Where was the "assuming, flaming and bashing" part I posted? Please point out, sila tunjuk ajar. I have neither posted my posts directed AT you nor have I posted them to spite you.

Sorry if my posts about getting my Wii U *with pictures too I might add! * draws into your inner jealousy and boils your blood. This is a public forum after all. Don't like it? There's always other part of the forums to visit. PS3 for example. You're from there, right? There's a hint.

Funny how neither of the folks here had any problems with me posting my posts (probably coz they know me, and my posts should have never be taken in context or seriousness for that matter), but the moment you Your Highness roll in, all hell breaks loose. Kinda makes you think now, doesn't it?

Did I even reply in response to any of the post you posted, or did I even quoted you in response to what you said? Scroll back. You are the one who posted " oh you rich people" and quoted me. And you have the gall to call me "Mr.Troll"? Look who started it. I wasn't even talking to you, not even specifically. Who is the perasan person now? Too sensitive? Too touchy? I can't help you there, not a trained psychiatrist. 

The deal is still on. One local set Wii U Black Premium if the price is below RM1100. Free local set Black Wii U for all your unnecessary high blood pressure here. I'm sure it's worth all that blowing a gasket over.

Then what's so tauting about my Post #644 that you had to blow your top off to call me "Mr. Troll"?

P/s: I kinda like that title. "Mr. Troll". Sounds like he has awesome superpowers. I know! Power to raise blood pressure!

then what is the "realistic" price you had in mind?

you're going for the cheaper price, right? How much cheaper does it had to get before "Mr.Troll" gets his point across and you caving in and get one? that RM1100 free Black Wii U is still valid. Free versus "your realistic price". Do the math.

It's wiser to check first before you "sembur" merata-rata. Otherwise, free2 jer dapat unscheduled baby.

kinda agreed with that one.... all this while same ppl who keep posting... and we all already masak with each others' style

So, to you, an RM250 cheaper is worth the wait of <insert dunno how many more days/weeks/months to go>? Okay, got it. Do you also wait for games to get cheaper as well? How much cheaper and how long can you wait? An honest, out-of-curiosity question.
