Where is the best place to buy Nintendo Wii & what is the best price in KL ?.

What should I look for in Nintendo Wii, including the accessories like D-pad controller (based on the pic) & great game to start for....

These guys are trusted sellers. You can ask them anything you want regarding the Wii consoles.. and I'll advise you on a few things.



Price: They range from RM1xxx to 15xx depending of package, and region.

Wii is a region locked console. So getting a Japanese console, would only allow you to play Japanese titles.

Accessories? The Wii console comes packed with 1 Wiimote, and 1 Nunchuck. All you need for 1 player. Buy more if you got friends/family who wants to play.

The "Classic Controller", as shown as above picture, is an optional peripheral. It is mainly used to play Virtual Console games. But in future games, but not all, might have the option to use the "Classic Controller", altho the majority now doesn't require one.

Games? I think you should be getting Mario Galaxy. Should last you for abit.

those are unmodded consoles right? id like my cousins to play only original games. they ought to learn after disc hogging their ps2

which brings up a good question. how much is a game there?

btw do you think wii is taxable by the kastam? im thinking of buying a set here just to get them to start off with playing originals.

If I'm not mistaken, taxable value is RM500 and above. can andy confirm?

taxable items actually depends on which categories it falls into...As for Wii, its under gaming consoles which should be 10% import tax and 15% after sales tax (or was it the other way round... )...but if u r carrying it back, u can try to go through the green lane without declaring it....

so desu ne~

so what about games? are they fall under gaming console? Movies (ie. DVDs, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray)?

games i believe is under the movies/cd sections....

so if it is a gift the receipient dont have to pay the sales tax right? have u ever experienced getting taxed by the kastam?

any sources for the tax stuff? i checked the kastam site but they asked me to pay for an info on the the duty tax. that is so lame

i kena tax when i bought ps3.... but about the gift thingy..yes..pay less tax but still have to pay...

there was a gov site tat mention on the % of tax u needto pay ..but i forgot the link..it was in the custom website...

how much tax? was it based on the value declared? like if i declare to USPS that the Wii set with a few games is $450, they might tax me a % of that $450?

thanks

yup...the tax was based on the value tat was written on the package...if u put less value ur tax is less but the insured sum is also less..

true. hmm.. toughie...

i hav heard tat some courier services have been getting away without u having to pay tax...but r u willing to take the risk.....

some courier? can i post from the states?

of cos...tats how i got my PS3....posted from US....

then andy...
how much u paid for ur PS3 in total?
far more cheaper on getting here in Malaysia?
or still cheaper than getting here?

no, i mean when someone talked about a courier which can evade tax, i was wondering if the courier has its centers here in the states.

of course its cheaper to get it in the states. plus u get 5 free blu rays (plus 10 free for me)

electronics 20 percent tax

ooh..i believe DHL /FEDEX did the trick for certain ppl.......cheaper in the states??not really after u consider the tax and courier price...its about the same oledi.......

i got mine from bernard wif mario galaxy kekeke..game + USA console RM1450

highly recommended to get from Bernard
cheaper and free door step delivery!
got my ps3 from him also , nv regret ~
