Wii Sports boxed in Europe

The PAL version of Nintendo Wii will ship with a boxed version of Wii Sports rather than a bare disc as it did in the US, we can confirm.

Another thing to note about the PAL Wii is that when it connects to the net and looks for an update patch, it claims the system's up to date, which ought to put your mind at ease if you've found yourself gripped with anxiety about reports of bricked consoles since the US launch.

Some more quick PAL Wii trivia then? Well, it's possible to make quite an impressive Kristan avatar (yellow shirt, ginger hair, eyes closed to the truth etc.), and Wii Sports tennis appears to be much more interesting than the novelty some had predicted. Watch out for more soon!

good news...source

the US disk wasn't totally bare; it came in a cardboard folder. Still, a real box is a step up.

US Wii sprts has no case!!! There goes all possible resale value.

HOw can the UK version of Tennis be any different to that of the US? One would have thought they would ship the same game?

its not different
