    Amazon allow you to pay the customs upfront if buying from Amazon.com so you'll get an idea of the total cost to see if it's worth your while.

    You'll need an EU power supply
    You'll be hit with import tax/customs
    You'll have a nightmare with warranty if anything goes wrong

    All in all it's just not worth doing.

    That's for hardware, how about for the games themselves?

    Videogamesplus all the way works out at around 46 or 47 euro a game delivered, delivery time for me has been usually 10-14 days. All one titles are region free.

    If it matters though Gamestop will not take those as trade ins xtravision will however, if they say it's not scanning push them to manually search it on the system.
