Where to buy the Wii U?

[imparanoic]

Whats the current price of a WiiU in HK? I am moving and don't know if buy it here in Europe or wait till I arrive.

really pointless buying in Europe and moving here, there is region locking on games and gamepad ( only next generation system that has region locking, no wonder there are losing battle with thin support from developers)

ie, games purchase in asia will not work on European machines or us machine, asia machine does not work with us or uk games

it's possible Nintendo will become like sega (13 years ago)

Also gamepads are locked? Well there is still point I can easily access European games in taobao. Just want to know where will be cheaper.

u can't get disc based european games on taobao, all us or jap version, furthermore, wii u has no pirate disc based games on the basis that it's uses Proprietary bluray technology ( also not compatible with any of bluray movies)

gamepad are locked as well, really pointless, locked games, if you get a European machine, you will always have to import European games outside from hk ( similar to x360 users)

systems cost HK$2300-2500 (around US$310/GBP210)
