New PSP Go

Its only $250 (150 quid) in the USA after the exchange rate.

Is it worth buying one from there on Oct 1st, if I did would the charger work or need a transformer?

What other problems would there be?

    $1.66 to the £, we can only dream.. tourist rate today is currently $1.58..

    also, that $250 doesn't include taxes, so you need to factor that in, depending on state, lets work on NYC, and that'll be 8.375% making a product that isn't even on sale yet, $270.94...

    working that out at TODAY'S exchange rate makes it £171.48.

    Now, the reason i've explained all that is, that you're asking if it is worth buying a product that isn't out yet, on a date nearly 4 months in the future, when the exchange rate could be totally different.. what if the exchange rate drops to $1.35.. if we say, ooh yes.. buy it on the 1st october.. it'll actually cost you £200

    the only way to work it out whether to buy it or not, is if you're saving money WHEN you buy it, not before.
