    !!!!!!? I thought French Wiis were all PAL? Or does this particular Nintendo rep not know what they;re talking about?


    Bit worried now because I got mine from amazon france a few weeks ago and its sitting on top of the cupboard. Better get it down to test !!!!

    Best place to find out about this type of thing is over at AVForums. Just did a quick search and found this, I don't have time to read it all but it should answer your question: http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=646890&highlight=SECAM

    A bit of both. French TV broadcasts SECAM, french Televisions do SECAM And PAL because all the DVD players, consoles, videos etc are PAL. The french Wiis are PAL standard.
  • I have almost bought one from Gamestation, just need to click buy - I dont have time to chase Wii's

    Do you think I could trade the games in as pre-owned to the value of Mario Galaxy and a controller?
