You can get both NTSC and PAL formats here the only problem is the NTSC version comes with  only 110 volt power cord so you need a power up supply but when i was at home at chrissy i ordered a new power cord through nintendo there and it came within a week so i threw the american one out (cord not console) the other thing is you can only play PAL games on a PAL version and vis versa, so it just depends on what your tv format alows we bought the NTSC version as the games come out quicker on them so we can get them as soon as they are released as oppessed to waiting a couple of months for the PAL. but its upto you would also advise get an extra controller straight of the mark as well you'll need it.

Again sorry for the hijack
