I got a gamecube and a N64, and that's about all you can get here in Argentina. Maybe a PS2 or Xbox. But since the Wii was announced I entered these forums reading and reading waiting for an opportunity to play. The economical situation here sucks. I mean, the Wii is 580 US$ and it's not officially brought here, it's sold by people who buy it in the USA and sell them here. And the games are around 90US$, the nunchuk and wiimote together around 120$. And dollars equal 3.20 argentinian pesos, which makes the situation even harder. If you don't like your Wii, I'll accept it :D. Am I the only one who has never touched a Wii or a PS3 or a Xbox 360 here?

Seriously, Argentina sucks for gaming.

EDIT: I got my N64 and the gamecube when my father went to the USA a couple of times because of work

Yeah... I've been thinking on getting a Wii or Xbox 360 in Amazon, but the shipping would be expensive and the games/controllers would bet expensive too, and having to buy every game on Amazon would probably be a nightmare. Hah, I'm starting a Paypal account and building a website called "www.onedollarforawii.com" where you can donate money for me to buy a Wii. Yeah, I'm that desperate(BTW it's just a joke :P)

Glad to see someone knows what I'm talking about. I'm missing so much, I guess I'll have to buy it from amazon when I have the money. And Lisandro, there are not places to play any console here in Argentina... So that's another reason why I didn't even touch one yet.

Buy a Nintendo Wii on eBay, it should be cheaper there.

You do have postal service in Argentina, right?

I Live in Chile, and the Wii cost almost USD400 and the games betweeen USD55 and USD80.

What about the other consoles?...well the PS3 USD800 and the Xbox360 USD490 in one of the cheapest store.

Yes, latin america sucks for gamming...I bought a new DS in USD200.

Anyway I'll buy a Wii for Xmas 8) and a Xbox in my birthday next year.
