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.

£3.50 per-despatch.

Pringles is doing an offer at the moment though that gives you an Internet Amazon.co.uk code to get £3.50 off. So that way you'd get the Postage free.

Correct, they have a little docket attached to the parcel stating various international passes and laws they have agreed and signed up to. Meaning if they did trade anything other than what they said it was in the parcel they would be heavily fined to pieces.
The company knows what it is doing.

Ive never experimented with the OZ site but i know a few who has.
Even NGC (Previously N64 Magazine) recomended it because of the cost in the thing.

Ok If im allowed to say then:

www.amazon.co.uk

The GC There is ranked their best seller across the site at number 1.


And parcels are checked under Customs from Australia and are passed freely because of the companies licence, dealing and trading harmless 'Toys'.
And even stamped to pass at the ports.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Customs and Excise are likely to clobber you for the VAT if you order one from Australia.

Who's selling at £149.99?

The big problem we have in the uk is this pointless VAT, if the governemnt really wants pc and interent in every home then it should abolish vat on technology stuff. I mean why should games have vat charged when its mainly kids that buy them? (no offence)
