    Some questions about importing one.

    1. is the psu external so I could just buy a UK psu like I did for the Cube?

    2. region coding on games? Any announcements? Ideally, I'd like a Wii that could handle both NTSC-U and NTSC-J.

    (In a perfect world - it could handle U & J Cube games as well - but I doubt that will happen).

      1. No idea yet, but probably given how small the Wii is. (arf arf)

      2. Nintendo of America say the games will be region locked on a title by title basis and first party games won't be. Nintendo of Europe say otherwise.

        1. Yes, external.

        2. Conclicting reports, Ninty America say it's optional region free, 360-style... NoE then made an announcement after saying it was region locked. But Ninty America has not retracted previous statement, and GameSpot has reported the NoA one... bah.

            Want to bet the first party games really ARE region free and Nintendo of Europe are blowing hot hair with their anti-import BS?

              Yup. Either that or PAL Wii's aren't region free due to 50hz/60hz guff.

                          Wii + Component + Zelda seems a no-brainer to me.

                                Thats pretty decent of Sidney to check out this thread and answer questions. Good news that they'll let us know before putting the pre-orders up so we dont miss it. An actual time would be great, hopefully before Thursday as I'm working 6-9pm Thursday night and would not want to miss it and be too late!

                                I was in work today explaining the situation to 'the guys' and I was gettig a bit carried away and started jumping around pretending to be holding a Wiimote, smashing up enemies in Zelda. They just looked in sad amusement at me!

                                I just need the pre-order, then I can rest easy.
