|
ok its offical Youngsan has nintendo wii its a japanese version but they will put in a mod chip which will let you play any region game. i just got mine today for 260 brand new and with the mod chip which was an extra 60 plus 10 for any backup games
just go downstairs where all the video games are sold and ask someone and youll find it.
(mod chips are perfectly legal by the way but if you buy a copied game and dont have the original then thats whats illegal)
also note that you have to have a power converter to run the japanese wii its 110v to 220v same as any american appliance
so i shouldint see anymore ridiculous 400,000 won second hand wii's for sale on here |

Huh its 110-220v? Or its 110v? I think you mean 110. Otherwise you don' t need the converter.
I'm assuming you are Korean. Where you able to haggle? Was it 320 before or after haggling?
I know a US wii costs about $250 and the wii mod chip goes for 40 retail. |

I think he meant that you need to a converter to convert the voltage from 110 (the appliance's voltage) to 220 (Korean voltage).
But isn't Japanese voltage 100 and not 110? |

Yes a "Step Down" converter is needed to take the Korean 220 v down to 110 as to avoid blowing the power supply.
I would be interested to hear what people think of the Wii in action. I checked out Youngsan in March but couldn't try a Wii. they had them, but hid them.
I really would like to try an English Wii. |

| i really like the wii i think it was worth the money, the thing i really hate though is how they make you buy an extra controller and the nunchuku thing seperate cause you do need both to play most of the games |

100 and 110...the same thing. Same with the Canadian/American 120/110 thing. |

as an engineer, i beg to disagree. 100v is never the same with 110v. neither 120v and 110v.
specially true when you're dealing with audio/video electronics. |

So..... can I plug my 100V Wii into the 110V converter? |

| I was going to bring a Wii back from Canada. Will it work? I have a kind of converter box in korea that looks like a huge brick. I think that thing changes the voltage, But than again, I am no expert. Anyone? |

I believe when it comes to voltages, a differential of approximately 10% is generally okay if you were to plug it in directly. However, in your case, you are trying to convert the said voltage which may pose to be a problem. |

Mine was 240k won [new] about 6 weeks ago, the modchip was 60k, burned games all seem to be 10k, adapter 5k won, all at Yongsan. |
