Basically, if your one from Japan + any potential import charges = more than a UK seller on eBay, I wouldn't bother on the off-chance.

There is a place near me that sells imported Computer stuff and they currently have a sign in their window saying PSP's currently in stock and I am pretty sure they will be Jap ones. They are a shop in Maidstone and if anyone wants their number then let me know.

ok I have had a mess about on their website.

if you order the standard console (not the white one) and a 256mb card delivered, it actually comes to 176.876 GBP or 313.80$ not bad for saying it only takes 2 days to get to the uk!!!

iirc they are £179 in the uk with a 32mb card. so not bad at all actually!

Yes but then wont you have to pay tax on that when it arrives in the UK? So that would make it £207.
