So, here's a dungeon-crawler RPG/Visual Novel that some Vita owners might be interested in. The English version only came out via PSN in Europe, with the physical release remaining exclusive to North America, published by Atlus.
The game is currently $12.63 on Amazon.com, with $5.15 for the standard international shipping. If you choose to place the order in GBP at the checkout (which helps to avoid currency conversion charges on some credit/debit cards), the total is £12.18. This will also avoid custom charges since it's under £18
Also on sale is Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart for $12.73, making it roughly the same price as Conception II
Mind Zero - £14.49 delivered (currently out of stock but will be dispatched when new stock arrives)

Brilliant find! More Vita exclusive stuff that was on my wishlist. Only available as a physical copy by importing as you say. Already got Mind Zero & Valhalla Knights 3 the other US Imports as well - just looking for a cheap copy of Hydimension Rebirth 1 now.

I just picked up both of those as well, Mind Zero was around $16 and $20 for Valhalla. If you're also looking for more US Exclusive physical Vita games, The Walking Dead Season 2 is currently £9.50 delivered.
Yep, I've used the same account I use on Amazon UK and other countries (FR,DE, etc)

Does a UK amazon account work on the site?

I swear to God, I have spent more on myself than everyone else combined this Christmas because of this damn site.

Not direct from Amazon I don't think. Can't ship to UK at that price as from 3rd party. It's only usually around £5 here though if anyone wants it.
I got it on PS+, I actually found it really enjoyable.

What's the import tax like on something like this?
Can anyone that does this often explain how this all works. Where/when do I pay the income tax, do I have to do anything?

Not that it matters for this particular order, but just so you know, the threshold was reduced to £15 a year or so ago.

Looks like the price went up by a dollar but still less than £13 delivered is a bargain considering it's basically £20 from UK shops.
I never thought to check amazon.com for ps vita games but will certainly have to look from now on.

Oh, I must have missed that info. I just made a few import orders on another site for around £17 inc shipping. Hopefully they might slip through :s
When ordering with Amazon, if the value is more than the maximum tax free threshold (£15 apparently), Amazon will add an extra charge for the estimated vat amount so that they can pay the customs fee for you and you don't have to deal with parcel force/ royal mail, having to pay the charge and then charging you additional processing fees.
Yeah, I just noticed the price has gone up a little on a few of the games. I wonder if that happens when stock levels decrease?
Noire is a good game for that price, especially if you like SRPGs.
