But in Denmark we get taxed on items above 8,48 pounds, and the post office demands a fee for the taxing, that we have to pay as well. And there is no possibility of reposting as you described. So I have to either check some of the netdeals in EU, and some like Play.com do not sell electronics out of GB unfortunately, or just go ahead and pay the price for the DualShock in a shop. I don't know the price, but I can tell you, that the SIXAXIS in Denmark at the moment costs 47,62 pounds or 94,98 dollars. @Paranoimia - Thanks for the info.

And we still don't know what Play and Amazon are going to charge. Or you can just go on complaining about something you've been complaining about not having. You choose.

But YesAsia appear to get around it by sending in bulk to a local 'agent', who then repackages and ships locally. When my DS3 arrived, it had been sent from Croydon, not Hong Kong! Might be worth investigating... see if they have a similar system for Denmark. Glitch… we in the UK also get taxed on items over £18.

So I'll probably buy one Dualshocker locally and then wait for a price decrease before I buy the second one.

Had to wait a couple of weeks for delivery, but I'd rather do that again than pay the extra £10 to buy locally.
