There are no shipping fees and customs because my friend would be bringing it back. There's no 60gb on release in the UK but the 40gb has an RRP of £299.99 and can easily be found for £279.99. Our prices include taxes rather than adding them on separately so that's what I'd pay. It's about $560.
Blu-Ray isn't currently a major issue as I don't have an HDTV but who knows, in the future I may want Blu-Ray discs.
I am not interested in the 40gb model as I want built in wireless, etc, basically all the features they took out. So it's a choice between importing or waiting for Sony to release a proper non-stripped-down version in the UK.
