Games you've imported

I realize this is a bit of a broad question, but I'm curious as to the sort of games people have imported, and why.
When you think about it, importing a game is some serious stuff: you have to actually get a copy (somehow), you have to make sure you can play it (region locking is quite common nowadays), and then there's the language barrier when everything else is dealt with (because they always seem to export games if they're in the same language...)

Personally, I've got the two Ouendan games for DS, since I just loved EBA that much. I've also played a (sloppily translated) copy of Jump Ultimate Stars, cuz I needed a good fighting game for my DS. All three were entirely worth it. Course the DS isn't region-locked, so it's not as bad as it might've been...

So, to reiterate, what games (if any) have you imported? Why did you feel compelled to import them? And were they worth the effort?

Although I have never imported any games, I know many people that do. They seem to have fun with it despite the language barrier, and all the trouble. I can see why people to it too. I live in Japan and when you go from America to Japan and enter a game shop, it's amazing how many games they have sequels for that you've never heard of but would have played, if they had ever been released in America. Hardcore Mario fans would have a field day if they ever saw how many spin offs there were. Anyone who liked Dragon Quest VIII would go nuts to see all of the originals and even some of the later games lined up end to end. It's really fun.

Ive imported a bunch of games for the ps2...because in australia it is 100% legal to chip your consoles (well it use to be..not sure if it is still the case)... so I got an interenational chip and imported so many games you just couldnt get here XD

I also import games for my DS because I cant get them here XD
