Wow, it's so cheap there. I'd like to hear the characters' voices in South African.

Damn, I never felt so happy for the South Africans.

Good to know the Wii's spreading joy everywhere. The picture above is flipping funny: "I told you to use the wrist strap".

I always thought South Africa was a poor country. It's got Wii now.
Nova said:
What are you talking about? That's like ps3 cost of games. Plus there is no South Aafrican language. It's English. British English. But it could just be the fact that I can't tell if you're serious or sarcastic.
Quartz said:
Yay.
eyevan said:
Are you serious? $70? That's $20 more than our (North America) games.

Heh, they're still poor. Look how much it costs for them, in American Dollars! Yeah, they're poor alright.
Ryan said:
Yo Insultman. We're not all poor. Hate to tell you but we have the PS3 and X360 as well and guess what we got them when the rest of Europe got them. Also just by the way we're easily the biggest gaming community in Africa and we're not a small one I can PROMISE you that :D And the reason it costs so much in American dollars is because they import our games from Europe or something. Everything's more expensive here. Well except food in terms of england, but everywhere is cheaper than there. Also there's no such language as South African. English is one of the 11 official languages here. But yeah anyone who buys games talks English.
