  • It is not the UK release. It could be Pal in terms of japan being region 2 as well as far as I know, they didnt get wii sports in the package...

    He says it all in the all consoles are imported...


    I would stay well clear.

    Someone could have gained access to that sellers account - I would not buy it.

    Like other posters have said, this really is too good to be true when you account for ebay and paypal fees, and he claims to pay your import tax for you!


    EU consoles also come with Wii sports as someone else mentioned, so it's unlikely to be UK PAL

    Yes, paypal and ebay fees will be nearly £20 for this item, plus say £8 for delivery. and 20 days delivery all seems very suspect to me. He has a full 20 days to move the money he gets about making it hard to get a refund for non delivery! This guy could make a quick £10k then dissappear!

    places in singapore are doing exports of these wii untis at £116 each, have to buy 300 in quantity to do so.

    Could be genuine, Could be a scam.
