Special Reserve will be selling Game Cubes at £159.99.
There was speculation in the trade press that they could be as high as £179.99. The trade price has been set in Euro's not £Sterling and therefore prices could fluctuate in the UK.

And I thought it was free as when i ordered Code Veronica (it wasnt because i wanted to but i had a Amazon voucher) i didn't pay any postage.

This is from Customs and Excise site at http://www.hmce.gov.uk
Duty and VAT must be paid on all items imported into the United Kingdom, e.g. goods bought over the Internet.
Please note, duty-free allowances for travellers do not apply to postal importations (see Notice 143) and commercial goods may have other conditions applied, including the need for a full C88 Customs Import entry for values over £600.
How the duty and tax will be collected
Under international postal agreements, the sender must make a Customs declaration on a form which, in most cases, will be attached to the package. The declaration includes a description of the goods, their value and whether they are gifts or commercial items.
The Post Office may charge you for clearing your package through Customs. They handle packages for Customs examination and, if required, open and re-pack them. The Post Office will also store packages if Customs need to make enquiries; for example, when the contents have not been declared properly by the sender. The Post Office fees are collected at the same time as Customs charges but are completely separate and Customs cannot reply to queries about them.
Usually the Post Office will collect charges on delivery. A charge label will be affixed to the package at the Customs Postal Depot. This will show the amount of Customs charges to pay as well as any Post Office fee applicable.
Sometimes you may be sent a declaration form which you must complete and return to the Depot before a package can be delivered. You should not send any payment of Customs charges with the form unless you are asked to do so.
For more details on international post see our Notice 143 A guide for international post users.
