undershot

I brought my Wii with me when I returned from Japan to Australia. Unfortunately, unlike laptop power supplies, this one can only be used on 110 volts. For a while I borrowed a friend’s transformer but he eventually asked for it back, and anyway, it’s probably an inefficient way to do things.

Today I finally got around to ordering an Aussie power supply from Nintendo. I was expecting it to be expensive, but it was only $35! I even told the bloke that the reason I needed one was because it was a foreign console, and he wasn’t concerned.

Now my only real problem is that it doesn’t work on PAL-only TVs. But who has one of those these days?

Edit: To top off the experience, they played me remixed tunes from Zelda and Donkey Kong while I was on hold :)
