US Wii: Preorder Details Thread

[Mad Gear]

You'll be looking at around ?35-?50 with V.A.T and couriers fee's.

[Lyris]

The couriers do, usualy ?10 or so. There is also 3.5% duty to be paid iirc.

Customs & Excise confirmed to me that there is no import duty to pay on video games consoles. They're not categorised along with all of the other electrical goods.

There will be VAT of course though.

[Geezer]

Oh cool, is that a recent change? It would tie in with Sony no longer moaning about duty on PS2s and trying to get them classified as computers

[Keith]

How on Earth did you manage to order with DVDBO Wazy? I've been trying for the past twenty minutes but the little ****er just won't go into my shopping cart! ****tiest website ever.

[Keith]

Finally got it through, although it would only let me order the Wii and Zelda, and I had to fight with it to even get that much! Never mind eh?

I don't know if you noticed or not Wazy, but it gave the option of being charged in US Dollars or Canadian Dollars. Given the current exchange rates I got ?15ish knocked off the price just for changing it to US.

Same here Keith, noticed that when I was paying with my credit card, can't complain! I just hope the they actually get the Wii consoles in, delivery once it is instock won't be too long assuming you paid extra for courier. Anyone else ordered from them?

[Mad Gear]

Prolly been asked a 1000 times but does the Cube component lead work on the Wii?

[wazy15]

Don't think it does mate, but don't quote me on that!

Nope.

[wazy15]

So I am thinking weather to get one off these bad boys for xmas. Now I just wanna know if their is any big differences from the US and UK Console?

Also Anywere still taking preorders for the US Console?

I don't really mind If I don't get it for xmas day just aslong has I know one is on its way.

[Ouenben]

I've asked VG+ to mark down, but I've left money in the drawer to be safe.

I asked about this, they said they could but it would mean i'd be risking insurance if it goes missing.

[Rossco]

I'd like to do it but I've had dodgy dealing with postage before so wouldnt want to risk it.

Especially like when my PSP went like 200 miles in the wrong direction of my house when I imported it! Bloody DHL.

Just the region protection lark, which is reason enough to import for most of us.
