The Wii i checked out at Target was AUD 399. And that's PAL region. Over in Mas, ur bound to have more US region games. So its either,

1. U buy it back at Malaysia.
2. U buy 1 from Ebay or Amazon that is US region.

IINM, its cheaper to buy the US region at Aussie, but you'll have to purchase a stepdown converter, or get urself a travel adapter to change the plug socket and voltage. that is also the Aus Wii's prob, as the socket is different and u have to change the voltage too.

the voltage for aussie wii is the same as Malaysia, you just need to change the socket.

Although originally Malaysia is consider as a PAL region, I suggest that you get a wii NTSC/U in Malaysia instead of getting a PAL console, as most of the games in Malaysia are of US region
Or, you can buy a PAL Datel Freeloader to play NTSC game on your PAL console.

PAL games comes out much later than US NTSC games that is if they do come out at all. The price will also be much higher as well. Most of the online shopping sites don't carry PAL games so you can't buy from them. In another words, you will have a console that uses slow to release, expensive and hard to find games.

Not entirely true, some games are release earlier in PAL console as compare to NTSC/U, e.g. Recently Mario Kart and Wii Fit smile.gif
