Japanese Xbox 360 Gaming

[Soundwave]

Sorry for the bump but does anyone know how much import duty I would likely pay if I ordered a 4gig slim from Play Asia? Would it be subject to the standard 17.5% rate or would I be in for a more nasty surprise?

I really have to get my hands on Raiden Fighter Aces!

Unfortunately VAT has increased to 20% now so it will be 20% on top of the shipped price.

You will also get charged a fee by Fedex/UPS/Post office for clearing it through customs which will be around ?10-?15

I knew about the increase but I think I'm in denial about it!

Thanks for the information!

If anyone comes across a 360 slim for ?80 let me know!

Paid $400 shipped Inc fees for mine a few weeks ago!

Wow, thats cheap. Just had a look and Renchi are selling Asian 4GB models for ?155. They let you mark down the price marked on the front too. Asian ones have the bonus that they come with a 220V power supply and a UK plug!

Renchi still aren't taking orders for 360 consoles? There's something fishy about this warehouse move, as it's been going on for weeks.

The 360 failing in Japan is terrible news. Might have to buy two consoles and keep one spare if they're being phased out.

Got pi$$ed off big style with all the 'me too' FPS games that have effectively killed off any diversity in the european games market. Looks like the Japanese have given M$ and it's post-wank feeling console the big finger and rightly so.

Hardware specs mean naff-all and if this is a taster of things to come with Xbox 3, I'll give it a miss.

I'm about to put my entire NTSC-J 360 collection + console up for swappage. We've had some good times, and some odd times. But.... it's time for us to part ways.
