You've been lucky. I have spent 9 months trying to get a refund for a returned faulty item. They stop communicating when you eventually try and demand your refund.
Anyway Sloaman I have searched for the item from the UK and found it in Argos for just £5.69 though you need to search to find and reserve em.

Never had any trouble with them. My rules for Dealextreme purchases:
* Always read the reviews on the site first to see if the product is reliable
* Never spend over £15
* Don't expect the item to turn up within 2 weeks
* Always expect the item to be a pile of cr*p
I've bought an in-car FM transmitter for £8 recently, cheap and tacky but does the job perfectly. Also bought the torch that was posted on HUKD a week or so ago, and is an absolute bargain for £13, excellent quality. Both items would have cost over 3x as much if bought from this country. If they had turned out to be cr*p I woudn't have bothered with the hassle of trying to send them back to Hong Kong...
Also the Argos item is slightly different, but it looks like they both do the same thing (no details on Argos re: games).
