    Its about frikin time! You'd think Sony forgot about Europe after all this time. Such a long delay is inexcuseable, especially if Sony keeps trying to downplay the DS let alone beat Nintendo at handheld war.

    That's 138GBP + VAT, delivery & import duty. My calculations put that at around 175GBP or so, more if you want fast shipping.

    The 179.99 price is fully inclusive.
