My PS2 will be arriving this week from the US however the place I bought it from doesn't sell US games. I was hoping to buy them from within this country but aren't sure on who has the best prices. Goblin Direct can basically stock their crap where the sun doesn't shine, I'm not paying £45 that is for sure.

I have never used Import Madness before, are they based in the UK or will it be the usual tax charges etc? Their prices are reasonable and I was hoping for someone who has used them to give me a little nudge in the right direction.

Also a step down converter, my local shops are basically crap and one hadn't even heard of them which was followed by a laugh. Any cheap places to grab one ASAP?

Cheers.

import madness is a good place to hedge your bets.
try ebay.com see if they do imports.
good luck

Yes I am aware they are fairly decent, but are they a UK based company? I'm not getting anything form ebay.com, too much hassle if theuy don't send it or it gets lost.

I would do if I wasn't going to be gang raped by tax charges once it enters the country, some companies mark parcels so they don't.

Thats the thing, a UK based company WON'T do that sort of thing, that's the reason I am looking for a UK based company.
