Bring it with you. i posted mine and it bust - must have got knocked on the way. I am sure everything gets booted about when being posted.

No one will check the hard drive or anything. If you love it that much just carry it

Just to confirm you wont be able to transfer your existing gamertag to an Australian account you will have to set up a totally new user for Australia (same on the 360 as well) :thumbdown:

I have my old UK PSN and XBL accounts on my machines here which I used when I first came over but im slowly playing more and more with my Australian accounts now so I can phase my UK ones out.

Of course if you keep a UK bank account open you can just top up credit from there and keep your UK accounts live but its a PITA.

I sent my Xbox 360 over in a box with a few other things via airmail, and it arrived working within about a week by the time it had cleared customs.

Well we are going to be flying with Singapore Airlines and the hand luggage limit is 7KG and PS3 is 5KG :S I know i can manage a 24hour flight without anything but a book and inflight entertainment, besides my missus can put my psp in her allowance LOL! Im going to look for a carrycase now :P

Excess charges i think is like £37 a KG over limit, not to bad. But I did notice that laptops are not included in the weight allowance, so maybe they will allow me to take the PS3 in its place? I will email them now and just find out if they will allow that.

They have the right to ask you, but unless they have suspicions they are highly unlikely to.
