And about shipping costs: Have people figured out about that that is? I'm guessing in a std 40 ft container you'd get about 1500 slim boxes (probably would have been about 1200 phats). Last time I enquired about container rates from NZ to US it was about $15000, though I can't remember the currency I was quoted. It was a few years ago too, well before the price of oil skyrocketed. I'm guessing maybe $20K to get a container from one end of the pacific to another. That makes it about $13 per console to get it from China to NZ. Pretty much means by the time the console hits our shores it's at dead even without the controller factored in. Seems like Sony are giving the controller away for free here, and probably a few bucks on top. If you buy a second controller, which is probably being sold at 250% of cost you've helped Sony not make a loss with your console purchase (here in NZ at least).
