if Wii Sport is a must, then you'll have to get the US version
Jap version doesn't comes with Wii Sport

US ver interface are all in english, while Jap ver are in Japanese only

US set will be more expensive than the Jap set, usually 1 or 2 hundred more expensive due to the bundled Wii Sport

For pricing of the modded consoles, I think it's better you ask few of the online sellers like bernard or sce

RM1800 is quite expensive already
normal market price for a modded us wii with 2 nunchuck/wiimote right now is around RM1600 only @_@

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

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

unmodded Wii is still around RM1400

still more expensive than other consoles

now I'm seriously considering a PS3

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. 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
