Does anybody know if the Wii games bought in the UK are compatible with a Console bought in the USA? I have the chance to buy a new Console for $250 USD which is under £125...any advice gratefully received
am told that consoles do work fine over here bought in the US, haven't seen it first hand though, and not sure if that applies to games on different country machines.
No the games don't work on a Wii... If you have a US console you'll need to import US games. A US machine will not play PAL games.
The only games console that is region free is the PS3 for games BUT the DVD regions still exist so you'll have to buy in films from the region you're in.
You should be able to get one from Europe which will prob be cheaper & just change the system language.
The regions for DVDs are different for gaming, I believe its the US, Asia, China, Europe & Oceania - So only four! No idea if games are cheaper to import from Aus though.
Nothing seems to be cheaper in Oz mate....bloody European cars are scandalously expensive....make that anything that is European. Anway thanks to you all...
