I know we have a few Hong Kong lads on here, just want to ask a quick question...... Is electronic stuff cheap over there?? Just my boss is going next month, and he has said he'll bring me something back......I have to pay though. I asked him how much a PSP would be, and he said around $310 US Dollars.....now this isnt that cheap!! Just wondering if things are cheap over there or if its a myth? Cheers lads  |

I think I paid about 2000 hong kong dollars for a white v1.5 PSP (can play 'special' games :wink: ) and a game.
If you do get one make sure it's version 1.5 and I'd get a 2GB memory stick while you're at it, the stick's are about £30 cheaper than they are here.
Pretty much everything electronic is cheaper except for the ipod Nano which sells for the same price because it's really popular right now.
TV series/film boxsets are real cheap as well so I'd consider getting some of those.
Why did he give you a price in US dollars? :?

Oh right, I see.
Thing is.....I dont need one at all. But thought it would be worth getting something while he's there......but as it isnt much cheaper, dont know if i will or not really.

Not really an electronic guy, but i would assume anything from Hong Kong should be cheaper than the UK, that's something I have learnt from the year I had lived here :roll:

The reason why hk is cheaper than uk is cuz the shippin fee not expensive and dont need to pay VAT and Tax!! So UK is expensive on anything u buy compare to Asia!! But i know 1 thing tht china is very bargin!! but dodgy!!! |

Oh right, cheers. My boss is meeting someone out there, so she should know where to shop really as she lives in the city.
