GP2X Ordered!

I’ve ordered my GP2X from Play-asia.com thismorning!   >.<

Kingmax Secure Digital Card 2GB 1 US$ 49.90 (~25.58 GBP) US$ 49.90 (~25.58 GBP)
GP2X Joystick Cap 2 US$ 0.99 (~0.51 GBP) US$ 1.98 (~1.02 GBP)
GP2X Power Adaptor 1 US$ 17.90 (~9.18 GBP) US$ 17.90 (~9.18 GBP)
GP2X Screen Protector 2 US$ 4.99 (~2.56 GBP) US$ 9.98 (~5.12 GBP)
GP2X Wrist String 1 US$ 7.90 (~4.05 GBP) US$ 7.90 (~4.05 GBP)
GP2X Carrying Case 1 US$ 12.90 (~6.61 GBP) US$ 12.90 (~6.61 GBP)
GP2X Game System (MK2) 1 US$ 169.90 (~87.10 GBP) US$ 169.90 (~87.10 GBP)
Coupon: YK-FUP-QPC


US$ -10.00 (~-5.13 GBP)
Sum US$ 260.46 (~133.53 GBP)
Shipping US$ 40.20 (~20.61 GBP)

Total US$ 300.66 (~154.14 GBP)

As you see, it came to £155 all in,  that includes a few unnecessary extras, such as 2x screen protectors and a couple of thumb sticks, a carry case and a wrist string.

I’ve opted for a 2gb card for now, that should keep me going, I never realised they were so cheap-  If I use it a lot I’ll buy another.  I still need to order a card reader for my PC and some good quality rechargable batteries.

I feel I got a real bargain here.  £50 off the retail price of the unit, and all those extras thrown in.  If I’d have bought it direct from GP2X.co.uk I’d have paid a lot more, and not been able to get a number of accessories, such as the power adapter, screen protectors and thumb stick.

I also found a discount coupon code on rgw GP2X forums to give me an extra $10 off.

Delivery is by courier and takes up to 4 working days.  Oooh, I’m excited!  I’ll keep you posted!

Just realised I may actually be charged Tax on that, too– but this should only be £30ish, still far cheaper than buying from the UK.

YOu will be charged import Tax, unless you can get them to write on the package that it is a gift, or its under a certainvalue, the figure escapes me at the mo’, but this is deffo over the tax threshold

Do your avatar fatty!

Yea, I’ve been reading up on the tax thing, it seems that its very much the luck of the draw, I’ll just cross my fingers and hope.  should still be cheaper.  One thing I could do is split the order to a number of packages below £30, and then just the console, and pay less…  but I think I’ll cross my fingers and wait.  knowing my luck I’ll get stung though.
