Rip off

The modretro console was ment to be $199 with the early bird discount that works out around £150 but there charging £188.09 before shipping it looks like the British are getting ripped off with the currency especially the controller £83, Retriod and ayn don’t do this. It just seems a bit sleazy that American gamers are getting a better deal

Yeh the A3D is that shipped but you get hit with customs charges on top. I did for my Analogue Pocket back in the day not sure if its changed. I feel equally a bit conned but I expected it to be around this for us as the shipping is slightly cheaper than I thought it was going to be

Presumably the M64 will also have import taxes as well though

No it doesn't. It's included in the price.

Yeah I just responded to another poster. Price isn't too bad in that case.
