Amazon Germany have the 1tb expansion now for £180, still a good saving. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08K48F6QZ?smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF

You'll pay import tax on that now , unless I'm wrong.

Not according to threads on HotUKDeals. All taxes etc are taken by Amazon at point of sale.

Yep, when I order from Amazon UK, DE, and FR they sort out all of the taxes for me when sending to a non-EU country with 8% VAT.

The price they show is the final price I pay, no import fees as they do it all for you:

my bet is on Monday also.
however somewhere in the UK Royal Mail are trialing a 7 day delivery service for parcels and eventually the whole of the uk.

it's only taken them 20 odd years to catch up

Probably jump back into Ori and will of the wisps, it can be quite tough though but looks stunning on series X and my LG CX oled. And red dead 2 plays so much smoother than it does on one x.

Best option would be a charger and some eneloops but if you don't want the hassle they look ok and the reviews are pretty good.
