Getting tribes

[old.Proxima]

I'm looking to buy a copy of Tribes so I can play some league games.
The cheapest I have seen it is £31 which is bundled with Starsiege at gameplay.com.

I had a look at www.ebworld.com, and they sell it for $20, which is excellent, but their shipping to the UK is $35, negating any saving.

Does anyone know of a good place in the US who doesn't charge ridiculous shipping? I pay about $7 for shipping on US DVDs so I would expect to get similar on games.
Or even somewhere in the UK who sells Tribes on it's own for £20 or less?

Many thanks
Proxima

Well Pcworld lakeside has the bundle ( starsiege universe and tribes for £20 )

You're obviously not seeing the big picture. After you buy the damn game and start playing you'll wake up after a years time and wonder what the hell happened to the last twelve months.

You'll also see your phone bill rocket to new glorious heights.

Do keep the order under £18 or you'll hit the import duty threshold. Dragon are reliable in my experience.

Hey, that's a good one Poker!

Tribes (code : STARTRI) + shipping...

Standard mail (28-60 days) would cost US$25.09
Airmail (7-18 days) would cost US$27.03
FedEx would cost US$46.90

Based on Friday's exchange rate ($1.5287 to the £1), that would cost you :

£16.41 for standard mail
£17.68 for Airmail.

Seems to me that you should consider these people. Nice going Poker!

Or go and try your local PC World, which seem to have Starseige Universe priced at £20, although you will have a lot of patching and script getting to do once you get it.

Thanks for the replies.
My local PC World (Guildford) doesn't seem to have any, but I would only buy from them as a very last option anyway.
I ordered the game from the URL Poker mentioned, Dragon.ca.

As for international shipping and duty, as long as the actual product being bought is under $28/£18 then you don't get stung, no matter what the postage.

Oh and by the way, I am on unmetered internet access (cable modem) so low pings and all the time I can spare is on it's way
