will a PAL nintendo wii/xb360 work in philippines?

heh! yeh i did see a lot of hookie games out there mainly in olongapo when i was browsing for dvds! I think some are region free which would work on any format BUT u need to MOD the wii in order for the games to work ...tut tut
I know the score in regards to modding and the pit falls when forcing a region change as well as avoiding online updates! Plus plenty of people here are at it anyway, its not really rocket science!

@win2win,
Might just get one out there, it does make sense than getting adaptors and god knows what else for it to work!. looking at it it is a big risk and a lot of hassle trying to get a UK wii to work over there and i hate to see her disapointed on xmas day should it fail to work properly.....

Thanks to everyone for ur advice

Sorry to make u all scratch yer heads on this one!

Exactly Keith is quite right, add in the shipping and at the current exchange rate it doesn't look so good a deal.

This applies to most things electronic over there, almost always easier to buy there, occasionally though I have taken computer parts so that I could build or upgrade a PC over there, main reason being I could get more modern kit for much less than it costs in the Phils as per your original point.

Only works if you take it on your flight.
