I'm moving to Dubai next month (yay, can't wait). I hear that a lot of the internet is censored though and wonder how people can practically get around this? I want to be able to see programs online and use voip. Is this really going to be such an issue?

How much is the Wii & how readily available is it? Deciding whether I should purchase here in the US and bring it with me?

Are electronics generally pretty expensive or reasonable in DXB, is there online shopping (struggled to find many places with much of a range).

Moderators don't like the issueof VPN's discussed on the forum, but if you want any advice pm me.

The wii is widely available, and it is mainly the US (NSTC) format that is sold, though Virgin do sell the PAL version.

Generally found the electronics to be quite a bit cheaper, though I am from the UK where things are generally more expensive
