    If you imported one from japan, Did you get hit with customs fees - let me know in the poll

    If so, let me know how much, As i'm planning to order one next month, but not if I'll end up paying about £50 to HM C&E.

    Edit: Also, let me know who you bought it from.

    Cheers

    You will probably pay customs if you order from Lik-Sang etc because they'll write the full value of the item on the parcel. My on the other had writes anything you want :D

    It's just very tempting - lik-sang have dropped their prices again, its £150 for the value pack, which i expect will be the price when released over here...

    Here's my prices but before you go "What a F*cking ripoff" remember that I ship these with EMS postage which takes 3 to 4 days to reach you. Lik-Sangs prices don't include postage plus you know they'll rip you off once they add it.

    PSP Value Pack = 176 pounds / 332 US Dollars / 254 Euros
    PSP Value Pack with Ridge Racer = 208 pounds

    PSP Normal Pack = 150 pounds / 284 US Dollars / 217 Euros
    PSP Normal Packb with Ridge Racer = 182 pounds

    PS: forgot to mention that the PSPs I sell now all have the new BIOS with multi languages and what ever else has been added.

    I will let you know once GSL Heavy Industries ships my unit, but to be honest, I would rather pay £132.86 (or whatever) plus postage, something for GSL's time and customs fee's than wait until September the 1st (European launch date apparently) and pay £180 (€249) (European price)

    I did the same with the DS, and after such a dissapointment, I am glad I didn't pay the £90 odd it costs here.
