If you know anyone going to or coming from America (aka friend or relative) ask them to pick up one for you. You can go Gamestop.com and check the stock in local shops if you have a where they'll be stayings VIPCODE (aka postcode). They have second hand official controllers selling at $14.99 thats around £7.50!!!
THE POUND IS STRONGER THAN THE DOLLAR HOLLA!
Also you've gotta watch out on Amazon, sometimes the market place has stupidly shipping costs, for instance I bought 2 packets of 4"x6" printer paper and I had to pay the postage twice, which I thought was a rip as they came in the same jiffy bag. I checked and the postage on the Wavebird and its only £1.99 so thats not too bad, but CEX do free delivery.
Beware buying Wavebirds from Amazon, check the description to make sure it's an official one. I bought one and it turned out to be a cheap third party version, fortunately I did get my money back.

Yes. Although I personally don't see it as much of a loss.
Got mine brand new/sealed from play.com for £18.
They're out of stock currently but it's worth checking as, by my count, they've had about 3 "episodes" of getting stock in and when they do, they pull the price down to £18 to shift stock - every time.
My bro' also got 2 this way from an early batch at Play.
