The US inventory of the Backbone One Gen 2 PlayStation Edition is consistently better than what we see in Italy

The Gen 2 hardware actually fixes the problems you hated

As of March 2026, the Backbone One (USB-C Gen 2) PlayStation Edition has established itself as the standard for anyone serious about PS Remote Play or cloud gaming. The logic behind the hype is simple: the first generation had a bit of a struggle with phone cases. You basically had to strip your phone naked just to play a round of Elden Ring. The Gen 2 hardware uses magnetic adapters and a reshaped bridge that accommodates almost any case, including the thick ones we use to protect our expensive devices.

More about shipping to Italy

Looking at the latest us trends, the PlayStation Edition is particularly sought after because it matches the aesthetic of the PS5 perfectly. It is not just about the white plastic; the buttons are tactile and responsive, making it feel like a legitimate extension of your console rather than a cheap mobile accessory. For gamers in Italy, finding this specific hardware at a reasonable price locally is often a challenge, which is why sourcing it from the United States has become the preferred method for many.

US retailers are hoarding the best PlayStation Edition deals

It is a recurring theme in the tech world that US retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Amazon US receive larger stock allocations and more frequent discounts. While an Italian electronics store might still be selling the Gen 1 stock at full price, US stores are already discounting the Gen 2 PlayStation Edition by 20% or more. The availability is simply more reliable over there. When you shop us store sites, you are accessing a massive inventory that rarely faces the same supply chain bottlenecks we experience in Europe.

Forwarding your tech across the Atlantic

The logistics of getting a Backbone One to your door in Rome or Milan are quite straightforward when you use a freight forwarder. Since most US retailers do not offer direct international shipping—or if they do, the costs are astronomical—having a tax-free us address is the logical workaround. This allows you to ship your purchase to a warehouse in a state like Oregon, avoiding US sales tax entirely before the item is sent to Italy.

If you are new to this, the how it works section on our site provides a clear breakdown. Essentially, you buy the item, send it to your unique US address, and then choose your preferred shipping speed for the final leg of the journey. It is a reliable way to forward packages without worrying about the item getting lost in a generic postal system.

The BuyForMe service handles the stores that dislike your Italian credit card

There is a specific hurdle that many Italian shoppers encounter when trying to buy from major US retailers like Apple, Best Buy, or even specialized fashion outlets like Nike and Sephora. These stores often implement strict security protocols that **block international credit cards** or automatically decline any order that uses a billing address outside of the United States. Even if you have the funds, your order might be cancelled within minutes simply because your card was issued by an Italian bank.

This is where the "BuyForMe" (Assisted Purchase) service becomes essential. Instead of fighting with a checkout page that keeps rejecting your payment, we buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by picky retailers. You simply tell us what you want to buy, and we handle the transaction, ensuring that the Backbone One Gen 2 actually makes it to our warehouse. It removes the stress of dealing with regional payment restrictions and ensures your gaming setup is ready for 2026.

Calculating the costs for an Italy delivery

Importing electronics into Italy involves a few predictable costs, mainly VAT and potential administrative fees. To avoid any surprises when the courier arrives at your door, it is smart to use a shipping calculator. This tool helps you estimate shipping cost based on the weight and dimensions of the Backbone One box, which is luckily quite light and compact.

The fact is that even with shipping and import duties, the total price often remains lower than what you would pay for a marked-up unit from a local reseller in Italy. Plus, you get the peace of mind knowing you have the authentic Gen 2 hardware. Choosing a reliable Italy delivery option ensures your package is tracked every step of the way from the US warehouse to your home. The logic is clear: better stock, better pricing, and a guaranteed way to bypass payment blocks makes the US the best place to source your mobile gaming gear this year.
