    Hey All,
    Just a thread to give you a heads up that Gamestop US ship to Ireland (for $24.99, not $15.99 as advertised)
    So you can order you White Destiny Headset from them for $99.99.
    So posted it comes in at €97ish which is cheaper than a normal headset in Irish Gamestops and only a tad more expensive then the black version in Smyths or Amazon.

    Be aware you could well be hit for significant custom charges when you order from the US.

    Dumb question, but can you just refuse to pay and tell them send it back? :o

    If you refuse to pay, they will not release the goods to you and you will lose the money you paid for the headphones.

    Sorry to hear that. Sign of the times. Used to be that anything under $100 generally was let go unnoticed. Now everything is getting checked.

    I know yeah, well I checked the online thing and it said around €21, your one was like "oh theres a release charge to release it", i imagine it's like an interal game where they try to make up stupid s***.

    Anyway, at least i'll have the headset to match the PS4.... albeit at a ludicrous cost :o

    Gonne give them my best scowl handing over the money, that'll learn em

    VideoGamesPlus.ca generally mark games and accessories lower than they're worth to help you avoid customs... Worth noting ;)

    Why can you avoid paying extra charges via them?
