what are the chances of customs charges from there. ^

If you order the game on its own - alamosy Nil.

If you order the game + bongos - I would say very low still. I've ordered DVD Boxsets from DVDSoon before - including Band of Brothers, the ET Anniversary and even the Lord of the Rings with Bookends and only ever been hit by customs once.

Worth the (low) risk IMHO.

whats otogi like btw, any good.

Absolutely wonderful, *if* you're prepared to love a game more for its atmosphere than the way it plays. You're basically just running about, mashing away at the buttons in most levels - you can whip out some PPK-style sword combos, but there are only four or five of them, really. Where it shines is in the stunning marriage of visuals and sound - its take on mythical ancient Japan is conjured up with a real sense of magic.

The fairly basic nature of the gameplay never bothered me in the slightest. There's also a wealth of hidden weapons and equipment to unlock, which keeps you going for hours.

Virgin Megastore (the old one, not the new one in the Tower Records building) in Piccadilly Circus in Central London are having a big clearout sale. The games are downstairs, to the right, btw. It's mostly kinda lame or old games for cheap, but I did notice a tempting PSO I&II for Xbox for ?5...
I can't remember anything else tempting, but it's worth checking out, as they did have a lot of stuff.

Found this on playasia, its hyper SF plus 3rd stike III on the same disc for ?24.

I thought you had to be careful with Dvdsoon now? Don't they declare honestly the consignment's value?

Think so, but they do have a pretty good success rate through Customs - although I did get hit when I got Zelda 4 Swords Cube from them a few months back I remember.

Latest I had from them was Tales of Symphonia and that got through (along with countless DVDs -all under the US$18 limit).

I normally use Dvdboxoffice.com - there a few dollars more expensive than Dvdsoon but I've never, ever been hit with customs on them.

I'm 99% sure dvdboxoffice.com ship from belgium, therefore avoiding customs.

[Naiera]

No, they may ship THROUGH Belgium, or some other country, such as Sweden.

Yep, I know they're ****, but I'll give them a go.

Haven't even received a confirmation e-mail or anything. I doubt they've even got them in stock (it's probably a necrotic listing).

[MikeRox]

Dunno if any of the other ASDAs is doing this but the huddersfield Store has the Xbox Rainbow Six 3 (original) for ?16.97 which is a damn site cheaper than most other stores do it for (still ?40 in town) Tho toys r us always have it on Buy 1 get 1 free.

[superkully]
