Q: Are Nintendo wii consoles available in China

Does anyone know if Nintendo wii consoles available here. I have looked on Taobao and Amazon but cannot find anything. Someone said games consoles are banned in China, if this is so does anyone know why.

Of course they're available! Go to any electronics shop, they usually have them! But you won't be able to play online though, since they are cracked.

Same for PS3 and Xbox360.

Consoles are not banned in China, just not officially sold because Chinese people are not so much into paying a lot for a console and games, which is understandable (hence the cracked games and consoles). They're more into PC gaming.

The only problem with buying a non-cracked console in China is getting ahold of games.  It is almost impossible to find non-cracked games for the Xbox in China.  And if you do, they are hard coded in Chinese.  I am sure it is the same with the other consoles.

 

Now if you will forgive me, I have to get back to kicking alien butt in Xcom.  :)

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
