Wii
 

Hi there,

does anyone have a wii? What do you think of them? They seem rather pricey for the games here, can anyone recommend anywhere which is good to buy them?
Thanks

My kids have the wii and they think it is (in the words of my daughter) 'Awesome'.

We bought ours in Target $400 with a sports pack.

I think you can probably get them but we waited for 3 months before we found somewhere that had them in stock - despite asking every time we went shopping. It was a case of see it - buy it!!!

Thanks very much everyone. I am in Oz.
We went and had a look today, a lot of places have them in, cheapest we saw was $388.

NTSC and Pal are the main video formats throughout the world. NTSC is used in the US and Canada. Pal is used in the UK, most of Europe, Australia and South Africa. If you live in a Pal country the video format is not much of an issue since you will almost certainly be able to play both Pal and NTSC VHS tapes and DVDs.
The answer is most probably yes

I know this is going to sound dumb but how do I go about getting it chipped
Thanks Jan

Re: Wii
 

Yes you can (as long as you have a broadband internet connection!)

We bought Mariokart and played it against our friends in the UK - it is great fun, although it is let down by not being able to speak to them via the Wii at the same time. Part of the fun is laughing at eachother, but we got around it by using MSN/Skype at ther same time...

I was always a Playstation fan, but getting the Wii has been great and is always good for a laugh and get to play it with the OH, which never happened with the PS2!

Be wary of chipping as it involves soldering to the circuit board etc, and can be a bit risky (even if done by someone with a bit of experience).

Needless to say chipping invalidates any warranty, and downloading games is copyright theft! :o
