I didn't asked about the warranty period and other stuffs included with it such as the adapter n the ahem games because my friend only asked me to survey for the price. At that shop, I could see 2-3 US units available on the rack. Maybe the next time I go there, I'll be asking the seller in detail.

i am just surprised ppl still ask about the price. this whole thread is informing all of u that i bought the us version mod for 1250...u still want to consider 999 for jap and still asking where to get cheaper us mod...haro??

anyway..the warranty given to me was 1 year with one to one swap within one week of purchase

no doubt the price has been increased due to the latest D2B chip , 3 pins has been cut-off from the IC ~ the modification of the wii
looks very difficult now.

some even so desperate till drill the D2B IC .. to join back the legs. whatever it is, pls support originals unless you want to backup yr own games

true, i believe the one i bought is from the old patch. the person did told me that the newer patch cannot or impossible to mod. anyway, my firmware version is 3.0 and so far i dun see any problem in playing all the games i bought.

probably a matter of time before it can be modded.

where there's a will, there's a way.

hhahaha...dont la... i think Wii is going to be fine
there is will for ps2 emulator for PC, but until now also no way.
hope this happen to Wii.

I went to the same shop last 3 weeks. He said RM 1280(US Version) and negotiable. 1 Wii remote + 1 knuckle + 10 *ahem* games + 1 ori wii sports + other basic stuff like adapters etc. He's a helpful & honest guy.He helped me to search info to set up Wii LAN party.
Too bad, he doesn't have stock now. Not sure is it legal to post his contact here.

As far as i survey, that's the cheapest Wii price I can get from a shop.
Others selling RM1350(Sunway), RM 1400(Sg wang), RM 1500(Kepong) Rm 1600 (Digital Mall) Rm 1700(Cheras)

One of the shopkeeper told me, for English Wii- there are 2 japanese game which unable to load ie Naruto and Shin Chan
And as for Japanese Wii, there are around 10 English titles unplayable.

Supposely getting 4 Wii consoles and start up a LAN party this week. I guess it is better to wait for a stable version once they able to mod the chip.


Sunway -> Top Floor
Sg wang -> Ground Floor Near parkson grand small entrance, opposite michael's hair saloon
Kepong -> Selayang Mall opposite popular bookstore
Digital Mall -> 2nd or 3rd floor near escalator
Cheras -> ps2 zone game trading ( check the forum for its location)

The price might increase as the market out of stock and also i'm not selling any console.
Pls dun pm me to ask for latest price. Thanks.

Gamer's Hideout?

Hi there, can you provide a more detail info pls? so that I can update it HERE (you can reply on that thread too - Official Wii.



thanks~

penman, ugpm. u pls decide if the shop's name is appropriate. cheers!

may i know australia's Wii and malaysia's one is same or not?
if not same .wat is the different?

Malaysia Wii is NTSC format and Australia is PAL format. Means you Hardly to find a game in australia in NTSC format. Same in Malaysia, i am talking about original game. Not those "Duuuuu" game !

And I KNOW THE Wii BIGGEST different btw Australia and Malaysia for this month is what.
IS YOU very very very hard to find a Wii console in Australia now. IF you are in Australia now, i think you should knew that, Nintendo Wii and Ipod are out of stock on most of the store and hypermarkets. EB-Games, Kmart, BigW, Target, Game, JB Hi-Fi, DickSmith, all OUT of stock in perth.!

Good Luck

Thinking of getting a wii today,Any suggestion of cheap selling shops out there? preferably rm1100 andd below in KL.Thanks

There are no cheap wiis now. RM1300+ for Jap Wii and RM1700 for US Wii. cause no clone d2ckey yet.

So meaning that all japan and the us model now has the original d2ckey mod chip installed?.And my query is that how one can install the latest firmware on wii with modded chip inside?,cos heard that the wii can be bricked.(I also support original games, but with a lot of modded consoles selling out there and the region free access,what to do).Thanks.

Yeah. which is why the high price compare to previous chipsets. i got my wii for below 1k in july which is the d2b chipset using cloned wiikey.

To answer your firmware question, u have to update your console using a game of the same region as your wii. the wii will ask you to update when u enter the disc channel with the game. haven't tried online updates. people told me that updates using online can cause bricks because apparently the wii doesn't access the update website of the same region as the wii itself. so to be safe, update using a game of the same region to the highest possible firmware (currently 3.1) before playing another region's game.

however, some games contain patches that are not firmware updates that can semi-brick the console such as link's crossbow training and metroid prime 3. the solution is that just update your wii with the patch then only update the firmware. of course, your current firmware have to be lower than the one you are updating to. SMG contains the 3.0J update and Wii Fit contains the 3.1J update for those who are wondering.

Hope this helps.

Thanks deathninjax for the explaination,cos well,I'm a newbe thinking of getting Wii.

d2c modchip is out liow. the modification doesnt come cheap ~ i seen the modification, you rather need professional who does soldering work. alot of wires for the IC .. dunno the reliability will be affected anot..

advisably go originals

hye..m new here..bought a wii in dublin for 320euros(rm1600)..n there is a huge shortage in UK n ireland too..
is it possible to get PAL games in malaysia?games here cost at least rm220..
