Typically boring shipping question

[bungle]

I was thinking about ordering a PS Two from Play Asia. Seeing as I'm more of a tronix man, I wondering how much the shipping would be and whether I would get stung for import duty or not.

Also, any know about modding the new PS Two? I think I am going out on a limb here but I'm trying........

If you use a courier then you will be charged import duty, although I think thats your only option. You could request that they mark the item down, however they arent obliged to and it also means you are only insured for whatever they mark it down to. Id expect a charge of around 30 for a PSTwo at full whack, also bear in mind couriers often take a 10 fee for admin.

I think I might just get a PAL one or get a JPN one from a UK importer.

I got a white PS2 from Lik-sang in the summer with DHL and didn't get any tax.
