Re: Wii Availability
Could always get a PS3 insted?

I'm not sure if I believe this bit -
Quote:
A spokesman for Nintendo UK denied that the company was witholding supply to boost interest.
"The video games market is a fiercely competitive one and it is not in our interest to withhold stock from anyone," he said.

But this is quite interesting -
Quote:
|
Microsoft and Nintendo have not released weekly sales figures for their consoles.

I'm just Sooo glad I get ours last month - even though it is wrapped up for Christmas

Re: Wii Availability
Quick question... If I buy A Wii from Portugal, will it work in the UK? My sister lives out there and has got her hands on one to send me. Apart from a new plug, will it need anything else?
Does anyone know if the language on screen will be in Portuguese, and if so, can these be changed?

But it will only have a European plug I hear you cry? Well they kindly threw in an adapter that covers more than just Europe for free.
Took around a week to arrive and I have tested it and it's working well. Then it was put away until the 25th December...

Bob, did you have to do anything else to it apart from use a plug adaptor? I'm just wondering if the onscreen menus will be in English or a foreign language? |

Re: Wii Availability
No the first thing you have to do when you switch it on is select your language |
