Can anyone give me information on these charges. How much is import duty on consoles and games. Do you get stung for it everytime?
I just got a DS from a friend but have no games yet :(
What's the crack?
Cheers

You could always get a DS from gbax.com, UK based and £170 with Mario and a UK adaptor too.
Why?
I hate tax...
THEN i'd feel stupid.
ALthough remember that it would be a sort of Christmas presenty thing. So I would actually only have to pay about £100 inthe end.

I don't want to say.
Besides it could be cheaper at UK launch...

mmmmmm Madden.
I'm thinking
£150-170 at launch with a game (Mario obviously). I could get it on SATURDAY for £215 with Mario. So that's, at worst a £65 differential. That's just over £15 for the next four months.
So is it worth it £65 for 4 months?

Let me put it this way:
The DS is an amazing system and if it has a better launch title than Mario I'd be extremely surprised (due to the fact that it's brilliant).
As well as this, it will cost you £150 on pre-order for the DS ONLY (Metroid demo isn't confirmed) over here and you're getting practically the same thing only months later. The system is now proven to be region free in every single way.
Knowing you, you'll probably want to pick Madden up too; go for dvdboxoffice (no tax, shade over £20).

I don't want to get it from eBay and everywhere else is sold out. Plus I don't have to pay import tax on that and I can get it the day after I order.
No in that you can get it cheaper.
Yes in that DS + Mario = amazing.

so you think £200 is worth it for a DS with Mario?
