munchkin: From that list, it looks as if I would actually be better off buying a PS3 in North America (especially as they pay less than we do for the console ad movies) - luckily I'm going over there soon. I'm going to have to definitely think this one through.
That's what I did. $499(US) for the 60G model which is now no longer sold. They have the 40G and 80G now available. I just put the entire box in a suitcase, packed some clothes around it and checked it in. Arrived safely and for the best thing is, despite having a 110V note about voltage on the back, in fact it's world wide voltage. So no transformer required. And the best thing was, it came with 5 free BR titles via redemption so I could get started on my library.
