The inport duties are 2.2% Standard duty rate and 17.5% VAT. Sony did try to argue that the PS2 was actually a computer not a games console but they lost so i expect a PS3 will be claasified as a Games console as well. It should be delivered by parelforce or the royal mail and they would expect you to pay for the charges before they deivered it. The admin charge will probably be about ?15
Remeber the burden of proof will be with you. I once got a DS from China marked down to $40 and as a gift. Customs still intercepted it and i had to prove what i paid for the item with an invoice, this of course showed its true value so i was still hit with charges.
