Topic: What have I gotten myself into.

On a local bidding site I found a Wii U Deluxe set on bid for 50$,brand new still in the box.
Long story short,Its NTSC Wii U and I am in a PAL region,will I be able to buy games form the Eshop from my region,and play them?

Bidding sites with cheap tech like that are nearly always scams
But yes, you can use the US eShop or import.

So I will only be able to buy games form the US eShop?

The seller seems to be some kind of wholesaler,has 97% positive reviews,so unlikely that it is a scam.

If doubt you will end up winning that bid.

I bet that during the last few days a mystery person will mysteriously bid 300 dollars.

-_- yeah that reminds me of Diablo 3

Just make sure that if you are buying things from the eshop you are using a NA credit card or an NA Eshop card.

NA,Um a North American credit card? Don't think that is possible seeing so I am in South Africa.

Then you will need to purchase North American points cards, or not use the Eshop at all.

Either way, owning a NA console when not living in NA is a burden as you need to import either games, or points cards to buy games.

I heard that the Canadian and Mexican eShops accept international credit cards. Check it out.

I hope so. . . Seeing so I am winning the bid.
