I'm sure there are places that will import but if you use ebay and make sure it is a trusted source like look at the seller's feedback.
 
I used Play-Asia.com, it is very safe, very cheap and very easy, I saved about $17 off the Australian reccomended retail price even including the delivery.

as a fellow UK importer, (and League 2 supporter, COME ON SWINDON!!) I have a few tidbits of info you may find useful.

Play-Asia will not send the games to the UK, believe me, i tried.

do not go with eBay - unless you know 100% who you can trust (ie. nobody)

i personally went with CD-Wow to get my games. At only £20.49 each, with no delivery, they're a bargain. However, despite several e-mail convos with the guys over at CD-Wow, they cannot 100% guarantee the delivery. But they get a lot of their stock from the states, and have a good reputation for importing games (obviously, apart from those not reading "NTSC" when buying GC/XB/PS2 games and wondering why they didn't work). they say that they should deliver within a week from release (22nd) but maybe up to 10 working days.

if you're not too happy with those, you have the options of Video Games Plus, or MovieTyme.

Never used those ones, but maybe if you look around, ask people, then you may be able to find out how reliable they actually are. Amazon.com don't deliver to the UK.

Best of luck!!

cdWow are great, But I get my Games from eBay from the eBayer Bruno0193. In total I've got PMDBRT for £18, recently Pokemon Pearl for £22 and Pokemon Ranger for £8. Bargain :D all Pre-Order Titles.

Yes you can buy the import version.
my brother bought a import of it.
but it takes a extra slot cause it's import in your DS/Advanced port

...dallasrocks0123, you're clearly talking about either the DS web browser or a flashcart because D/P only takes up the DS port. Nothing extra.

If you're in Europe, you won't be able to import the US version from Play-Asia. Nintendo of Europe has stopped them from doing so. Also, I'd be more patient. For all you know, you may be stuck with a game that can't do Pal Park due to region locks on the GBA games. :)

Well, I think I'm going to take my chances regardless - it may work. If not, I'll just buy the opposite version when it finally comes out over here. I suppose we just won't know until we can get somebody to try it out.
