    The tax free option means you run the risk of getting caught by customs so it's up to you.

    Also you may need to get a powered scart connector. The one I got with the system worked fine for most everything except a few NTSC consoles like the NTSC SNES. Powered RGB cable sorted it out.

    Am I missing a trick here or something? The "EU Tax-Free" option costs more than the non-tax-free option, by (GBP) £40 for the same item. On the surface of it, it would appear that the company are attempting to make an extra £40 off you and also leaving you exposed to having to pay import duties & VAT for the original amount + the extra £40 + shipping :confused:

    i assume the 'tax free' option means you don't have to worry about paying the tax as its already included in the price.
