Do you think that if someone in a non-PAL area won, could you give them the option of getting a cash equivalent so they can buy a Wii that would work for them? It would save you the shipping, and then the winner wouldn't have to get rid of it so they can get an NTSC one.

it still outputs at pal frequencies, thus rendering it useless.

I'm not talking about anyones entries anymore..


PAL wii's can display 50 and 60hz, which means they work in USA fine.

Certain wii modchips can allow certain NTSC games to work on PAL wii, but no PAL games to work on NTSC Wii.

Of course, they'll still have updates to improve compatibility.
