in I wanna buy it or do it
I'm looking to buy a PS2 for a family relative who lives in South Africa. Can anyone provide details of good offers presently available. I'm thinking that I may get this duty free when I fly out, via Dubai, next month but I would like to know how cheaply I can purchase this here in UK

    I'm not sure what the prices are at the moment on ebay, but probably £50-80 with some accessories and games...

    Make sure you get them some games to. blockbuster do there x rentals 4 or 5 for £20, i dont know what the availablity is of Play station games in SA but i know if you have a Xbox you have to import the games as there was no xbox`s ever sold in SA.
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.
    Mortgage - £2,000

    Definately!! The PAL version compatible with TV's etc int the uk more than likely won't work overseas and vice versa.
