The wii jap is not hard to use. But you might find that you will be using it for games only, thre is more other thing in wii such as the miis and setting, memory, etc. But if you get familirize with which icons to press, then it would be no prob using the jap wii.

I tested on both when i bought my wii, like the US ver one. And the US ver come with wii sport.

All the best in getting you wii

so i bought the 2nd hand wii.... and it's giving snow/sparkles/grainy noise.

When I turn it off at the power switch or just put it on standby, all my other tv channels are ok (incl. astro) turn it on and the snow, lines, grains and sparkles return. *sigh*

So I hope to return it later.

I found one in a small shopping mall in Kepong that costs RM1,100. Shopping mall name is Metro Prima!

Got my Wii yesterday from Bernard for RM1550. US version, with 2 nunchucks and WiiMote.

wahh..good deal

any guys here play online? whats games eh? SSBB?

i'm yet to try online..

I still play GH3 with some of our friends here..Maybe need 2resurrect the GH3 topic here...wakaka

Don't you guys think the current price (local) of Wii is kinda ridiculous?

US price from Toys R Us
Wii, SSBB, 2 controller, 2 nunchuk = USD359.96 = RM1,188
Xbox360 Pro 60Gb = USD349.99 = RM1,155
PS3 40Gb = USD399.99 = RM1,320

Whereas our local price
Wii US, 2 controller, 2 nunchuk, no free game except bundled Wii Sport = RM1,600
Xbox360 Pro 20Gb = RM1,300
PS3 40Gb = RM1,300


Why is this happening? Aren't Wii are suppose to be the cheapest among all three next-gen consoles? Are we screwed by our local vendors?

I always wanted to buy a Wii, but after checking the current price of all consoles, I'm having a second though right now
With RM1300 I can get a more powerful machine, either PS3 or X360
I find it difficult to justify of adding another RM300 just for a Wii

FYI, I'm a Ninty supporter since the Watch&Play era, I find the current ridiculous price of local Wii very difficult to swallow

Err.. there is an import tax and also transportation charges?
And also the margin made by the seller as well.
Just my guess

I agree too...luckily i was one of the first few to get it when the price was still low. If I haven't got a wii right now, I would hv think twice buying it seeing how the price is higher than the ps3 and the 360. Even the game price are at par with those two.

BTW, does our local Toys r Us have consoles for sale?

local toys R Us?
some larger outlets are selling Wii and NDS
but still selling at cutthroat price, the so called Official Wii, from Maxsoft

And please dun forget....most of our local wii being modded....tats why the one reason it's selling at tat price too
wat i guess is if unmodded one,will be cost us how much?

unmodded Wii is still around RM1400

still more expensive than other consoles

now I'm seriously considering a PS3

Wait, Unmodded Wii is around 1400? How come I got mine unmodded from Bernard at 1200?

1400 would be with extra wii mote and nunchunk.

Actually, if you could find a way to get it at USD250 (Without GST) through someone at the states, you should. But looking at how people have to line up and wait for the stuff to arrive is the hard part. The transportation and taxes makes the price jacked up.

Ya ya get it..then we can trade games together

BTW, it's true what Kyo said, unmodded shouldn't be at rm1400...should be something from RM1.2K - 1.3K only for US version. Try n ask around somemore if u still wanna get it. If not, well there's always 360 n ps3.

Besides wii sport and the occasional ghost squad session, my wii seems to be collecting dust right now. But I'm keeping it coz I wanna play it with my family during gatherings. It's a great party machine..other than that..put it to rest.

Seriously, your wii collecting dust?
I had only wii, although considering buying a xbox but, i dont think i got so much time for gaming...
BUt seriously, not much of the price either wii or other console, but is more of the library of games you got in each console, wii seem to be lagging with serious games and more to casual games

yeap, RM1400 unmodded US Wii with extra nunchuk & Wiimote
no free games, except Wii Sport

Toys R Us in US
selling similar package at RM1,188, bundled with SSBB some more

How to justify for the cutthroat price here?

Now the only thing pulls me back from getting a PS3 is my crt TV, no more budget for a LCD TV, and also PS3 will be sendiri syok only, my family members won't be able to enjoy it

1. Wii is high demand, leading to jacked up prices from people who wait in line.
2. Transportation for the Wii's aren't cheap.
3. The people selling Wii had definitely had to pay some "money" to lepas taxes.

Did u noe that those in the states that buy the Wii lined up for it, and actually when they got it, sold it to the people who just came to the long line?

1. local distributor need to wait in line meh? They got ample stock what?
2. I don't see ppl complaining the high transportation fees for PS3 & Xbox360... why not the case for Wii?
3. Same question like #2

I blame the local distro for jacking up the price of Wii

Dun get the wrong idea bro...the reason it's collecting dust is coz I hv finish all the games like metroid prime, zelda, RE4, mario, No more heroes, medal of honor heroes 2 and others and also because I dun play online due to the lagginess of streamyx in my area. It took me about a year b4 finally buying another console so that I can have a healthy cycle of games.

It's true wii lack games with mature themes, and that is why one reason I got another one to quench my thirst for blood. Other than that, wii is a good way to get u moving
