Do You Import Games and Consoles ?

[wraggster]

With the legal action against Lik Sang last year and other stores who sold PSP Games and Consoles it stopped a lot of stores Selling PSP Games and Consoles to Europe.

Luckily the likes of Success HK and Divineo still sell PS3 & PSP Consoles and Games from Asia to anywhere in the world.

The benefits of importing are much cheaper consoles for example a £400 PS3 in the UK can be brought for £275 at SuccessHK. Games also nearly half the price in asia what they sell for in Europe.

USA folks might import because different coloured consoles arent available to them.

so Do You Import Games and Consoles ?

DIGG THIS and SPREAD THE WORD

Since I own a ton of US/NTSC PS1 and PS2 games I'm probably going to go with a US PS3 when i take the plunge. However, upon viewing those sites I could only find one offering the Japanese model.

So, to anyone in the UK that has imported a US PS3, where did you get it from and what do you consider the most reliable place to get one from ?

i have imported 2 psp's before, and a few games but i avoid doing so, i only do it if i can get hold of it in my country (uk) and i will be importing manhunt 2.

I've not yet imported anything yet. I was thinking about importing a silver-metallic PSP, but with no guarantees I'll get a downgradable one I am holding off. It is a damn shame that SONY for some dumb reason never released other colors in North America. It would have helped the PSP's sales some.

I've scratched my head in disbelief many times at that strange move by SONY. I can only assume that they over-manufactured the BLACK PSP's for North America and are trying to sell off most of that inventory before releasing colored PSP's.

I will always want a silver-metallic PSP. But only if I can use it with homebrew and install custom OE firmware on it.

If I could read Japanese there would be a ton of games I'd be importing. But unfortunately I can't.

I import a lot of games from japan just because it's unique and also cause there are games that won't ever make it to the US.
So far I got Ryuusei no RockMan: Dragon, Bokura no Taiyou: Django & Sabata, Bokura no Taiyou: Gyuakkuu (sp) no Sabata "comming Soon as it's shipping", RockMan Dash 1 & 2 for PSP and PS1, RockMan ZX, Tales of Phantasia PSP & PS1 and also Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex PSP,but...too many of them so I won't go into details..and yes, it's the legal stuff. =P

I imported my Wii, because it costed 1200,00 dollars here in Brazil. And it was cheaper also import my games, paying 60% of taxes, than buying here. Xbox 360 costs 1500 dollars, as does ps3. it is a little bit expensive...
