Mr. Calculator (off Grafton St.) probably has them, but you'll be absolutely fleeced (add at least €100 to the equivalent US price)

Thanks, they're going for approx. €300 on Ebay including postage and all that so that's about as high as I'll go.

TBH I'm getting it for my sis to give to her boyfriend for his 21st on May 28th so I'd prefer to avoid having to wait for it.

I was checking it out over the past month. He was originally selling them for €500 with one game included. But I think he dropped the price after the US launch. I think you can get one for €379 now but Im not sure if that price includes a game.

And he's charging 60 lids a game. God damn rip off! Just got 2 games on ebay delivered for that price!

Just rang them. €379 for the value pack with no game. Gob****es!! do they not realise anyone who's going to be interested in getting a PSP is going to be computer-literate and just get one from a site or from Ebay

So you reckon the tax is avoidable with them then?

that is so dodgy though as if it's lost in the post (can happen with An Post) the most you'll get back is $20

With th USPS EMS shipping there is an insurance box on the top right of the form which you can fully insure the product for.

Then below there is the declaration ie... 50 dollars and mark as gift . And make sure you ask seller not to include any receipt or invoice.

AnPost don't give a **** anyway they left my Archos and a Laptop outside my door . Didnt get them till I gor home at 7 and the post comes at 11am and they were send by EMS which is supposed to require tracking to destiantion.

Ordered it earlier today for her. She decided to get him 2 games along with the pack so I got Wipeout Pure and Lumines because I read they were the best games for it.

All in all it came to €347 with 3 games and Spider-Man 2 on disc

Mr. Calculator can stick his €379 up his arse
