Thats the Nintendo one not the toilet!

Has anyone taken a Nintendo Wii to Oz with them?

Just want to know if it work will ok on an Oz TV and if I'll need to do anything over than get a plug converter.

cheers,

we will be able to tell you when our stuff lands and we have a house (long story). They have the wii over here, so shouldnt be too much of a problem.

All electrical stuff works here. Don't worry about it.

will a UK one play oz games tho?

No I expect there will be a problem with the language translation!

Our PS2 works with both Aus and UK games. They're not based on the PAL thingy you get in DVDs. Seriously, there is bigger stuff to get your head around. Sometimes though, it's easier to worry about the smaller stuff. We've all been there

Yes, I can confirm that it does work (we bought ours with us), you just need the adaptor so you can plug it in. We have also brought an extra controller which works fine, don't know about games but we have purchased some play station 2 games which work perfectly on our playstation 2 which we brought with us.

The Wii is supposedly region locked so you may have problems playing 1 or more Australian games on it. The PS2 is also region locked though and when I had one I never had a problem playing any Australian games on it.

Those wii looks brillant i want one!! i heard that dixons in the uk where giving away plasma tellys for the first 1000 sold??

Any idea how much they cost here??

I believe they are around the $300 mark but I've never really looked at them, I have never owned a nintendo product in my life

expect to pay between $375 and $400 for a new Nintendo Wii here in Brisbane.

The Adults may have the serious stuff to worry about, but this was the first question my 8 year old asked me when we told him we were planning to go!

yep and my daughter

my son has been doing some research and he reckons only top brand games might work as stated on the nintendo - nintendo however won't guarantee anything

Wigan Warrior;

when your coming over can you bring my mate some "Uncle Joe's" mint balls we all love them, its not that far from wigan to melbourne.??? after all what are mates for.???

Calm down people, calm down!

Most of the games consoles are sold in region (similar to DVD's etc)

Fortunately, Australia and Britain both operate PAL systems and so your Nintendo, Xbox 360 etc will work exactly the same in australia as it does here.

Games consoles made for the American market (which operate on a different format) will not work in Australia!

Problem solved......
