Oh SWEET...I always hated that about PS3 controller charging.
Even with the new slim models, I thought Sony would fix that.

Yeah I never turn off my pc so I usually charge em that way, though that does look like a more elegant solution lol.

This will come in handy for those that end up buying Move controllers...

Ordered a PlayStation 3 for a friend this week. He was tempted to get the Move model but decided to hold off until better titles come out next year.

woodyear99 · « **Reply #332 on:** September 20, 2010, 10:11:32 PM »

Yeah I feel I will get shaft from customs but will let you know this week. $2500 not sounding bad actually.

Fkacn_tt · « **Reply #333 on:** September 21, 2010, 09:36:02 AM »

customs will hit you about $500

Wyspa · « **Reply #334 on:** September 21, 2010, 11:11:01 AM »

I've been looking into bringing in one..but after you do the math, customs will kill you with price.. PS3 is not classified as a computer component, so they'll charge the full 30% on the price of the system, plus the usual VAT.. All in $US currency..lol.. A place in Trincity Mall have it for $3000 flat.

woodyear99 · « **Reply #335 on:** September 21, 2010, 11:16:11 AM »

Yeah in hindsight I shoulda just buy it locally, where in Trinidad has it for $2500 though?

rb · « **Reply #336 on:** September 21, 2010, 11:41:03 AM »

Raptor on Trinituner sells for $2500 IIRC.

woodyear99 · « **Reply #337 on:** September 21, 2010, 11:43:17 AM »

Oh ho will check em next time if I need another. Online shopping is just so darn convenient :p

where u get these figures from?

not everything that not classed as a computer component gets u full duties and vat... and also the last time i check.. max duties does max @ 15% and tax at 15% as well... (their are exceptions to certain things of course, but they dont fall into the range of what we order)

but usually items that get tax/duties usually range from about 10-20% put together... i've been ordering products for awhile and i usually get my estimated shipping costs to within a few dollars...

Arcmanov · « **Reply #339 on:** September 21, 2010, 01:34:41 PM »

Electronic devices (the PS3 is classified as such) attract a 20% duty, and 15% VAT charge.

Different shipping companies use different methods to calculate the final price in fees that you would pay when you bring in a PS3. If you buy one for $400 US, then expect to pay in the region
of about $800 TT in freight/VAT/duties. I recently brought in a PS3 slim for my brother, so
I know of what I speak, so if you getting a PS3 for $2500 TT, I say RUN...don't walk to get one.
