I've just been reading that here in Australia the Wii Zapper, not released until mid-December will be priced at AU$49.99 with the Links game. Now although that seems quite a bargain compared to the cost of most new games here I understand that in the US it will be sold for US$20.
As US$20 converts to approximately AU$23 at the moment it would seem that even with some postage costs it would be cheaper, especially if you wanted 2 or more of these zappers to buy from the US and get them shipped over to Australia.
I would be able to get them probably before the Australian release date and yes, although the Links NTSC game may not be of much use to me on a PAL console, I don't think that matters too much.
Therefore can I just check, the zapper is just effectively a holder of the wiimote and nunchuk? The USA version will presumably work fine on a PAL console as it is effectively just a casing?
If someone can confirm this I'll be happy to be searching on ebay or looking for a US supplier (if anybody can recommend anyone?) in the next week or so.
