    Hi Guys, I want to import a PS Vita from the US, I've tried amazon.com but I need a US address. Does anyone know a website that would deliver from the US?? Thanks.

    When it eventually shows up on their site, videogamesplus.ca would be a good bet. I've used them for games and hardware before and they're excellent. Deliveries usually take about 7 days.

    Here's a link to their homepage.

    I'd say if you emailed them about when they're taking pre-orders for it they'll let you know.

    I'd an email query that I sent to them one day about getting a dualshock white as they were out of stock at the time and wondered if they knew when they were going to be back in. After I sent it I left the computer to go out shopping or whatever and returned 3 or so hours later to find that they'd replied about 2 minutes after I sent them a mail. Felt like I should've apologised to them :o

    They're out in Ireland and the states at the same time... Why would you import? You'll be waiting ages and save feck all after taxes and import duty

    For the price i'd assume, personally would get it here so i have some comeback on it. In the states you're pretty much stuck with the warranty.

    For price reasons, thought I might be able to get it cheaper than here :)

    $250 for the wifi version = approx €190

    plus €30 taxes = €220

    plus €30 shipping = €250 (irish price)

    plus 15% import duty = €37.50

    total potential price of importing an american vita = €287.50

    that's €37.50 more than it'll cost you to walk into a shop and buy it in ireland on launch day

    Keep forgetting that no one includes vat in US prices.

    If you were importing from Japan it will easily cost more even if you exclude shipping and tax's but you would get it sooner, however buying from the US you'll be waiting while the rest of us play away.

    Didnt realise all the extras I'd have to pay, I'll be getting it here so then have it preordered already but when I saw the US price I thought it would be alot cheaper judging by yer figures though it could cost even more. Thanks for all the info.
