HI

I have a local shop In doncaster that is doing the Games at £39.99 for New from Japan and USA and second user ones from £25.00, But I cannot remember name of shop LOL. I will update post on Tuesday as I will be getting Need for speed underground rivals from Him.

Hope that helps anyone.

Well, for people living around Bedfordshire there is a place in Bedford town center that does virtually all the American and Japanese releases (although they are cutting back on the Japanese releases now the American games are coming out) for £40 a go. It's called 'Close Encounter' and is opposite MVC on Midland Rd. You can get the games cheaper online but it doesn't feel quite as nice as walking out of the shop with it in your hand so it's worth the extra in my opinion

Well if you get them from hong kong or japan and you have to pay import tax remember its The Normal 17.5% plus 12% import tax, Plus you have to pay who ever comes and asks you for the money It was parcel force with me when I got something from Canada, But as its a small package you might get away with it

If you don't it will cost you more £32 plus a total of 29.5% tax then it costs you £40.34 ish plus you have to wait upto 14days to get it.

£40 is roughly $72 I believe. Assuming £1 = $1.8 ratio. Which does indeed suck. Especially as £40 is believed to be the retail price for PSP games when it finally launches in the UK. The same price as XBox, GC and PS2 games. IMO, handheld games should be about 20-30% cheaper. Say £30 max like DS games are.

While that's true, I've ordered 10+ GC games over the last 2-3 years from all over and have never paid any extra costs. You can get caught, but ime it's unlikely. I Imported WE6-FE from Liksang (Hong Kong) that was £45 and had nothing to pay. Recently got RE4 from DvdSoon in Canada (£27) with nothing. Also ordered from VG+ in Can, DvdCrave in Australia and Playcentric (USA). Have imported over 100 items (dvds, dvd boxsets and games) and have never had to pay anything, (touch wood). A number of those items would have been single dvds under the £18 import threshold, also DvdSoon used to mark down all items to $12/£5 no matter how expensive the dvd or game. Though they have been told to stop doing this apparantly so don't now. Still, more than 50 items I've ordered have been over the £18 limit and have got through unoticed. Even if you do get caught it's well worth the risk in the long run. Though I have heard of people being caught with their first item they imported.

I recently received Ridge Racer for PSP (£26 del) from VG+. They always mark their items down as a 'gift' and undervalue the item so that it avoids customs. My $55 game was marked down as $20. In this way people were able to get PSP packs with up to 5 games past customs with nothing to pay by ordering from VG+.

I got my item devalued from canada.

but the point is it can happen and as more and more people do it the harder it will get to get away with it.

And if they check what is in the package and they sometime do you will get hit hard, and if the PSP does not come out here till jan 06 what you going to do for cheap game imports as they could watch what you get set.

Like I said I got the console the same day saw it working I rejected the machine that had a dead pixel. tell how many of you can say you did that.

Now look at the price and think he has a good machine.

thanks
