Wii Region Question

[wiister]

if i have a north america version of wii... can i still buy and play australian games?
....i am movin to aus next year..and it would suck if i have to buy a new one....

You will have to buy a new one, unless you can get a mod chip...which would probably be more expensive then the actual Wii itself.

Not at the moment no, but something may become avaliable to allow you to do so. I believe they are called 'freeloaders', and i think are out for most consoles.

I think the first party games are region-free, not sure about the third party ones.

Freeloader is only for the Gamecube, and while it may work for the Wii, it'll only be toward Gamecube games.
