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...

Might sound stupid but I saw an ad for Cariszone.com on FB and checked the site out.
Ended up buying a 20oz coke for $4 and paying $30 shipping...Will let you guys know how it tastes in 2 days.

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.

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.

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...

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.
