Over the past day or so, I've been pondering whether or not to import Bayonetta and God of War Collection. Reason being, both won't be released here until next year and Bayonetta (one of my most anticipated titles) has been released today in Japan. Besides, it's my Birthday in a couple of weeks and I feel like spoiling myself.

I've already garnered a few bits of feedback on Twitter from JDK and Charmed, but was wondering what the stance is where everyone else is concerned.

One problem I encountered was that Play-Asia won't ship Bayonetta or God of War Collection to the UK, so I could do with some valid suggestions that won't put a big hole in my wallet at the same time.

Do you import? If so, what are your recommended places/most trustworthy?

I have used these before movietyme and have not yet ever been hit with import tax but there is always a chance when you import stuff from anywhere thst you will get stung I have from both playasia and amazon.com. God of war collection in the link is £26.99 with free standard shipping which can take 7-21 days or £1.99 for express shipping which says 5-9 days

Even if you get hit by the import tax, sometimes just as well getting the import if its months before hand. I got Ghostbusters for 360 months and months ago, because I couldnt wait til Halloween for it, when pretty much nothing will be changed for the UK version!

I just send a complain letter to amazon why they ship to poland, hungary and czech republic but not slovakia. The thing is, slovakia is in the middle of those countries!

Im curious how will they react
