Hi,

Just wondering, is it possible to use a US-version Wii Console in Malaysia? If I used it with a power converter from 110V to 220-240 V?

Bought one one day and it's great. Will be heading back to Malaysia in another couple of days.

Hmm...also, how do you guys shop on the Wii channel if you don't have a US Credit Card? Where do you buy the Wii points for it?

Thanks Guys.

I actually bought the Wii from Amazon.com. Xmas marketing gimmick of having only 1 hr to decide if I wanted to buy it or not. >.>

Yeah, took a shortcut from reading the FAQ but it was also only a very small and brief mention about the power box. Ouch.

Ramchyld, what do you mean US NEMA Keyed plug? U mean that the stepdown converter has to have one of the sockets for it, is it? Hmm...maybe post up a picture? Easier for me to visualize it.

Ram : Thanks. So it's the socket adapter that needs to be bought then. Shouldn't be a problem. I just need to look out for one that looks like the one I'm currently using when I go travelling outside of Malaysia. http://www.target.com/Embark-All-in-1-Adap...20travel&page=1

Hopefully shouldn't be a problem.

In the end, I bought a stepup converter in the US. I got one of those travel step down adaptors as they are small and portable. So hopefully it'll work when I head back. Here's hoping.

Thanks guys.

Ah thanks. I'm back in Kuching now but got nasty cold bug and sorethroat.

I didn't use the one I bought from the US because it wasn't quite correct one. It's for 50 Watt devices and the Wii was 52 Watt. heh! Oh well. Planning to head out to an electronic shop nearby and get one of those step down converters.

Wah! Measles! So old and still kena. Hee hee! Anyway, hope u get better. Ciao!
