I am in the US at the moment and have just bought a Wii to take back to Thailand. As regards power supplies it is 110V but there are many 3rd party power supplies (eg Nyko) for the Wii that are 110-240V. The console is region locked but games are available through Amazon and from what I have read unlocking the Wii is not particularly difficult.
So the external AC adapter (RVL-002?) that comes with the Wii is 110V/60 Hz only? It does seem like there are a lot of 100-240/50-60 replacement units available. I think a lot of the modded Wii's available here in Thailand are sourced in the U.S.
What are the advantages of buying in the U.S.? Price? Other?
The advantage is really the price... though I haven't priced consoles in Thailand for more than a year. Right now I can pick up a 2nd hand Wii for 3-4000 baht with peripherals. A new one is less not more than 6000. Last time I priced consoles in Thailand they were all still breaking the 10000 mark.
