Hi,

Been told that the price of a Nintendo Wii console in Malaysia (for Asian market) may be cheaper than in the UK. The voltage in Malaysia is the same as that in the UK. I'm pretty sure manual will be in English.

Does anyone know if I buy one, will it work for the Wii games bought in the UK?

Thanks.

i have had a problem with malaysia as in a con do not send money butthat was on ebay dunno if this helps

Kawan2, I hate to put a 'downer' on things, but thought you should be aware of this:-

er.....so what kind of charger do you think would have been sent???.....a Malaysian wii and a UK charger?!!

Also, if the chargers and dodgy...what makes you think the wii's wont be?

OP-I know we are all MSE'ers and want a bargain, but just as with iPods and iPhones, the research/development and marketing teams at big brands such as Nintendo or say Apple spend so much time on protecting their market that it really is unlikely you will be able to get the genuine article for much less...I think your decision above to buy from the UK was the right one-(and at least you wont have any grief with refunds/insurance claims etc)

Why not buy it on a cashback site?....or go to one of the shops offering it for sale with a free game?

maisy-mai

yes argos direct have them in stock at the moment as posted earlier £179 plus £4.95 delivery
