I was absolutely shocked when I looked into buying some stuff from the UK (eg Fallout 3 collector's) at how weak the pound is right now, really good time to buy stuff from the UK if you live anywhere else (if you'll forgive the cynical profiteering type comments)
Yeah the tables have turned from last year when thousands of british tourists would flock to the USA to get cheap stuff, or going to Calais to pick up drink before Christmas...
Not so good if you actually live here.
Indeed, but I would say get used to it I don't see the pound picking up much against the dollar (I'd say it more likely to drop more than return to anything like 1.75, let alone 2 which is was a year ago)... I expect it will dip below 1:1 with the Euro in the next 1-2 months. Long term I'd say the economy here is terminally ill.
No, I mean the region of the console. Is it Ntsc or Pal_N ?
All consoles in the UK should be PAL in terms of games. Some non-pal games will work on PAL machines (pretty much all PS3 games work on any PS3 console) around 60% for the Xbox I think...
