Sorry, its not 12%... its 2.2% import duty.

It was changed last year

You don't pay duty on electronics, it's 0% rated, only 17.5% VAT if it's worth more than £18.

Oh and the gift thing hardly ever works, especially if it's being sent by a courier.

Ask the people sending it to send it marked as gift, or FOC sample.

No VAT and shit.

This always makes me chuckle :lol: The correct statement is "Yeah it is locked, but most publishers don't bother specifying a region."

PS3 consoles aren't region locked but the game publishers have got the option to lock certain games. The only thing you need to change is the power lead - kettle/pc power cable as the ps3 has built in multi voltage switching.

1 question though, why bother? you can get ps3's over here with a couple of games for £350 and you will have a full uk warrenty
