Import PS3 Console Price Drop

[wraggster]

SuccessHK has today reduced the Price of their PS3 Consoles down to a nice $445.16 (£220) for the 20GB Playstation 3 and the 60GB PS3 is down to a better $552.00 (£270).

For us in ripoff Britain thats a saving of at least £130 ($260) off the price of the console here.

Also i always recommend that you ship using airmail, it will cost around $70 or £35 and you should avoid nasty import taxes (especially if the company put sample on the box )

Remember that all PS3 Games are worldwide region free so no worries on that score and that the consoles can have the language changed to any language you want.

Import Consoles will only play Region A Blueray films but you will find that even in the UK the majority of films are Region Free too. The quality of Blue Ray films played at 1080 resolution is something to marvel at.

Nice

I wish I could import, let alone afford a ps3

The downside is that you can't play your UK PS1 or PS2 games on your PS3. If your PS2's in good working condition, that's less of a problem.

My (launch day) PS2's still working perfectly but I'm hoping for a solution to this. Hardware or software, I'm not fussy.

That's actually not a bad price.

You can get really good price if you import it from china - I have ordered 10 for 420$ each(60gb version).But the downside is that the minimal order is 5(at last from my suplier).

Umm, I'm new here, but I have IMPORTANT NEWS! there is a new psp, just released, what does this mean for homebrew!?!?! will it be able to be downgraded? will it have some sort of build it block to prevent hombrew no matter the firmware version? Is the new psp worth getting?? decide for yourself! (http://www.gamespot.com/features/617...opslot;title;1) this link may cease to work when gamespot next updates its cetral tab frameset, so just search gamespot for E3 info. or, go here (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3161034) I would really like to post this as a thread, but it won't let me; I suppose because I am a new member. I've used this ssite for years I'm glad to finally be a member. I think I'm the first to post about this new PSP and what it means for the homebrew community; I believe that the new PSP will be homebrew compatible and that it will provide a fantastic boost to the PSP-homebrew and PSP-mod communities. Power to the people enjoy! ~~~(extended information)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Portable) (something fun)(http://www.amazon.com/Horatio-Hornbl...4568971&sr=8-1) -SISKO have fun wid-it!
