I have a friend going to the US for a few days tomorrow. Is there any point in asking them to look out there? Whats the compatibility like?
Thanks.

I personally wouldn't bother - they work on NTSC and not PAL so will not work on all TV's here. Also European games won't work in them.

someone i know has bought two from the usa.
they stand in the playground at school saying how they have bought 2 from the usa for their twins, and have spent £250 in toys r us on games eachfor them here in the uk.

oh what a happy christmas day they are going to have when they don'twork. they have been told about the pal/ntsc difference,but they don't believe it.
oh dear. :rolleyes:

hehe I am afriad the problem is not the ntsc/pal, cuz they can get it fixed in a store to be a multifunction nintendo wii.. I would be worried about the electric feed.. see if the wii was deisgned for the usa that would be 110 volts i think but here its like 220 volts yeh big problem unless you use a transmeter.. now if you dont and blog it in yup it would be an amazing christmas lol

it's their problem!
they have been told about the problems with buying in the usa, but they think the person who told them is just being snooty because he hasnt got a wii.
the person in question bought one from argos yesterday! he's laughing now!
