Well as soon as the price drops i will get the usa version

As with the ps2 american games come out earlier and i think there were usa games that never got a pal release (or inferior pal releases)

[Roddie]

good luck on getting an ntsc one

[Bad Monk]

yeah like i said, i never said it would be easy!! hence my rocking horse s**t quote

[Shozuki]

I intend to import - have no idea abou getting one though...

[Pavey]

I have a couple of pre orders in the US,doubt i'll get any though.

And at that price wouldn't hold onto it anyway.

[Chunky]

Will be in NYC on launch day, unlikely to be able to get one anyway. Don't really want one anyway tbh.

[RuBiQ]

[buster_broon]

read somewhere that both sony and customs will clamp down hard on anyone found importing a PS3 from abroad, any truth to this please?

Clamp down on what? There's no law against buying stuff abroad, unless you're an American buying Cuban cigars

[Shozuki]

well, if customs call a ?37 charge as 'clamping down hard' then I dont mind that

[Bad Monk]

i am sure i read or heard somewhere that after the whole lik sang thing, sony said you cannot import PS3's from abroad and will work hand in hand with UK customs to stop this!
i just wanna know if anyone else has heard this please? and has anyone on these forums got a PS3 yet please?

thanks

Sony simply cannot make up laws preventing you.

Absolutely.

Anyone has every right to import anything they like onto the country as long as it's not drugs, weapons or people. You can even do that if you get a licence!

My PS3 should be here for Christmas, $890 for the PS3 and $59.80 for EMS shipping. Total $949.80 = ?487.80.

Only ?62 more than waiting until March and buying it down the road.
