You are liable to pay import duty on anything above £18 and it is a case of if customs get hold of the parcel and slap extra charges onto it and Royal Mail will throw a handling fee as well if the parcel gets stopped

This is taken form the play asia website regarding customs

Customs
You may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country and you should contact your local customs office or check their website for more information. Additionally, when ordering from Play-Asia.com, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods.

Your privacy is important to us, and we know that you care about how information about your order is used and shared. We would like our international customers and to be aware that cross-border shipments are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.
Also, we may provide certain order, shipment and product information, such as titles, to our international carriers and such information may be communicated by the carriers to customs authorities in order to facilitate customs clearance and comply with local laws.

Customs Tax would be about £4 on a game if the package gets caught, if you order one game at a time they usually get through, postage is 5 days I ordered last Thursday and it came today.

I and others I know have not had to pay any customs charges which is why I recommended the site.

Of course you could always buy from game for £49.99 and not worry about customs, but this is a moneysaving site.

I bough Saints Row off Play Asia for £22 and sold it on ebay for £30

Its region free so it works on any Xbox 360 region.

ebay is great for 360 games, so many people selling brand new games for nothing and you can pick up bargain 2nd hand games.

Play asia looks really good and cheap . When buying a game from there will only the ones descibed as No Region Protection work on a UK 360.
