Advice Required on Importing Nintendo Wii from HongKong

Nick_A_2

Hi, I am thinking of importing a Nintendo Wii from HongKong (a friend of mine will visit HK soon), and as I have never imported anything before, I am not sure of the process.

I have a few questions

1. Will a HongKong Wii work in UK directly or would it need a converter or something to work?

2. Will any game work on it or will I need to get games from HK?

3. Are there any additional costs I am likely to pay in addition to the cost of the unit itself?

4. Is it legal?

Many thanks in advance.

Nick.

There is a bit here http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=148658, so even though Nintendo aren't as harsh as sony on the importing there are some downers, with lack of warranty been a big one.

This site enlightened me on the VC aspect of the console (one of the main reasons why wii is appealing!). Hmmm, I think I'll hold off and buy a UK wii.
