    Dont know about the actualy game-stations themselves mate,but I have taken original PS2 games out there,tried to play them on a Pinoy machine and the game was in Black & White Your right about the price mark-up as well,why are electrics more expensive in pinas when they are made almost next-door



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    because they were pal versions of the game

    I'm not so sure its a good idea to send a Pal xbox or Wii to the phils

    2 problems - i think they would need a tv that works at 60hz as well as 50hz and also be able to handle PAL and NTSC signals
    some tv's can, i've tried my cam recorder in the phils, some a just got a black and white scrolling picture, on some a got a black and white picture. i dont think i got a color picture on the few i tried

    you can try and buy a PAL to NTSC converter if it didn't work on her tv , but even that might not work depending on the tv she has.

    another problem is getting the games, they would have to be pal versions or region free versions, and as the phils is ntsc or they would need converting if they were copied ones

    also how many pinoys (or even brits ??) could afford to pay £30+ for a game


    i think it would be a lot less hassle and could be cheaper in the long run if you bought one in the phils

    A lot of the newer tele's out there can handle both Joe, ours does even our old tele did as well, plus the devices themselves can often be configured to output a different signal.

    I'm sure someone out there will have an industry in pirate wii games

    I tend to agree with you though, less hassle to buy out there.

    i should have said that was more than 5yrs ago, yes if your tv is only a few years old and even better if its not a crt more chance it will be ok

    but still a problem with the games

    also if you update a wii with the wrong region firmware, it could well end up as a brick
